Is it possible to slightly change a mechanic for Sephirot EX?

[Estellios]

Our FC has been attempting to farm birds from the Heavensward primals unsynced and we hit a wall at Sephirot. It looks like no matter what there is always 4 lasers that the Green debuff players need to soak up, but you may not have 4 players with the correct debuff if you have less than 8 members in the group. As it is now our group of 6 needs to invite otherwise unnecessary people or rely on dumb luck to get through it.

Anyways, my request is to change the mechanic so the number of lasers always equals the number of people affected with the green debuff. It will make the fight a bit easier when done under level sync since you won't be screwed by someone being dead before the debuffs are given out, but I think it's worth the tradeoff as very few people do these synced anyway.

I think the fight is good enough as it is. Thanks.

BTW, Zurvan's Broken Seal in Extreme mode needs quite a bit of people too or else the party won't survive the massive damage from every circle not covered.

The fight is as it should be. If they change this, they may as well get rid of every mechanic that relies on the whole party in the game and that isn’t going to happen. Throw up a pf and get your two people.

It's tough low man. I've done it with 7, and you're pretty much ensured one death, which can be manageable. The bright side is you should really only have to deal with one set of tethers. Unsynced he should be dead before you see them again.

Send me a /tell if I'm on and I'll fill a spot. Might be able to bring an 8th too.

What's the point of the undersized party option, if you're pretty much required to go in with a full party?

This is old content, so it hardly matters anymore. It shouldn't be a big deal to allow players to farm it at a higher level, with a lower party size.

As our item level increases, it'll probably become more trivial, and you'll be able to survive remaining tethered. It's not instant death, just a lot of damage. Tanks can already survive it. So, it will become an easier low-man, we're just not quite at that point yet.

its survivable if your group is selective enough that the oranges take the greens from the right people. taking the green from a tank instead of a healer for example = LOL. tanks can survive the greens with a cooldown.

failing that make sure you take the greens from the helaers first before the dps and its still survivable. if your just grabbing any green then obviously your gonna have problems

I'd agree that ideally such mechanics should scale in even pairs.

But it's hardly vital. Only way to really be screwed is if neither tank gets a green, and I've yet to see that happen? (Can it, even?)

It does, the colors are completely random who gets what. Right now that part of the fight revolves around hoping you're lucky enough the tank gets orange.

Undersized at your own risk.
