    Everything I've seen is cool, haven't had a chance to go in with the static yet aside from a random Twin pug. It's cool I guess? Seeing Coil stuff with a bit of meat behind it is nice.

    My only complaint is that from what I've seen / played this is one of those fights where the tanks just... Don't do anything. Don't get targeted, don't have a mechanic to do... Just tank swaps. Could be wrong, not a lot of tank PoVs out there aside from Xeno but I'm sorta disappointed. I guess we got all the fun stuff from Neo so I can't complain all that much

    I'm also just glad I'm going to have something to chew on during the off patch. I usually don't get to do much aside from grab gear for alt classes, but this should be hard enough that I'm going to be working on it all the way until 4.2... Slim chance I beat it.

    One day I'll be the MT mountain I want to be... But that day is not today. (As of Patch 3.2)

    To my understanding just in Twintania not tank swapping at the right time is an instant death, and thus 9 times out of 10 insta group wipe. As well what I have heard from Nael she does not only a lot of damage with auto attacks but that + plus things like 5x Bahamut Claws (I think its called) pretty much wrecks you.

    On whether Ultimate should even be a thing since only a small fraction of players will do it: Sweet, keep doing that! The skill gap between players is there, this isn't even a bad thing because there always will be such. Much of the game can already be cleared by a majority of players so long as they have the time. Savage has been a wall but even here some players have found themselves wanting more of a challenge. SE clearly believes they can provide that while still delivering content for everyone else, and I'm all for it.

    Honestly I don't think there would be as much complaining if Eureka hadn't been delayed. But it is what it is, and if Eureka ends up being good even more for the better.
