Dear Square Enix! Make the game harder, not easier!

[Nevik]

The latency is whats killing most people, the fights give no room to breath and are hard for casuals or those who aren't elitist. Ifrit and Garuda could use a 5% nerf at most, while titan could use a 10% nerf. Ontop of that, make a gear check when you que up. You shouldn't even be able to que for titan unless you are full darklight.

IMO...
AK: darklight accs
ifrit: Darklight accessories + at least 3 pieces of AK armor
garuda: darklight accessories + at least 3 peices of Darklight
titan:full darklight or better, either previous primals weapon.

binding coil: darklight + at least garuda's weapon.

Dungeons need a gear check, at least for endgame.

sorry, but I gotta stop you right there, for the primals I beat them in AF ... it's only for titan that I had DL and I wasn't even in full DL either... those fights are about learning the patterns and dodging!! ....

Good for you?
However, not everyone has the luck with ending w/ competent players, thus, the gear should be required as a test for going. DL takes maybe, 2 weeks to get the set? And a previous weapon shows determination to be better.
If you have the patience to deal with something like that, you deserve a shot at the weapon/relic/whatever.
And it's 2 weeks if you do 2-3 runs a day, seen some people do it in a 3 days so it's not to bad.
Just...something better then af. Cuz saw a tank enter in full AF with only 4.6k hp and he got oneshot. The gear is for the group not being a waste of time, and to give everyone a chance at winning.

it almost sounds like you're saying I was carried through all 3 primals, I must be very lucky then because I play as WHM, and it's very hard to carry a WHM ....but I'll leave it alone b/c there's no way you'll know how "competent" I am if we've never played together...

moving on, I'm not saying it's not a good idea to be "geared" I just don't like the idea of people selling that you MUST have XYZ gear in order to win a certain fight because believe me, in titan I've seen fully geared DL players still getting their ass blown up by lay of the land and even land slide

but then again I guess the gear just helped them survived the hit, didn't help me tho since I have to now use MP to heal or worst raise them....

It is actually very easy to carry a whm in 8man content outside of maybe the later Coil turns.

then I'm sorry for you and the WHMs you and your group had to carry...

[pochte]

stuff.

I'm a whm myself, there is no way to carry you. However, it is easier to heal and do your job with people who are geared. So you probably got lucky there and havn't had to deal with people who think full af is ok for titan.
Ifrit fine, ok. He's a pattern boss 100% and gear isn't to important.
Garuda it starts to become important when people can be 1 shot by messing up once.
Titan is ridiculous because even with the best gear, this fight is still hard without people knowing what they are doing, and gear helps.

As the saying goes, the gear doesn't make the player, but it sure as heck helps!
