So you can deck out all your jobs in DF Coil in ilvl90 before getting 1-3 jobs to ilvl 80 through CT lol

I want that Sahagin minion NOW!
Lock removal + new ilvl gears being added in, so the old content will be easier to bypass
Better gear = fuck the mechanics, just zerg, make mistakes and still recover

We're supposedly getting a buff for Turns 1-5 that will be increased incrementally over time.

so there is no loot restriction in coil? who will run ct then?
They didn't mention nerfs specific to turn 5, but they're adding the echo buff, and the extra gear from the new 2.2 content will have a higher ilvl so it should make it even easier that way.
The nerf will be the fact we can gear up @ higher ilvl with the new content/crafts + weekly echo buffs.
Yeah but you cant get 6-9 without going through 5 anyway... But this echo buff would mean you wipe until you can theoretically beat it (unless the group you're in is beyond hopeless).
Amdapor Ruins will also give new tomestones that lead to higher level gear, so the new turns of Coil aren't the only source of high level gear.

New Allagan Tomestones, most likely for AF2 and the Coil gear that drops from 6-9
Mix and match again!

Yeah I edited late, the defining factor will be how much does the new ilv gear circumvent difficult mechanics.
What I expect is that the new gear + echo buff will make it so, for example, getting hit by divebombs won't be as dangerous, and death sentence won't be as dangerous either. I think that'll be enough for a lot of groups to get through it.

hyped for fishing.
The difficulty of dive bombs is positioning since the wall is OHKO regardless of ilv. Secondly, the Twisters are OHKO too I believe? So it's just mechanics like that which still prevent groups from doing T5 for whatever reason.

Recap Info:
I welcome our easy mode overlords.
The difficulty of divebombs also comes from timing and some people just don't react quite fast enough. As for twisters, they already nerfed them hard. I dunno what else they could do.
Yeah I'm not expecting much, you either get the mechanics down because no amount of gear will save/carry you to 6-9 otherwise. Oh well, lots of good info otherwise. The patch should be great whenever it drops!
Haha, indeed!
I'm kind of hoping that the buff will be optional, since I prefer to beat content as it was meant to be. Although honestly, we should have Turn 5 completed by the time of patch 2.2, so having the buff to power through earlier content [for those loot drops!] would definitely be appreciated, especially when you have luck as terrible as mine. >_<

You can remove the "echo" buff you get after you fail story missions, so I'd be surprised if you can't remove the buff if you want to keep failing at Coil until you learn it.
I'm not proud, I would take a win regardless over T5 so I could move onto 6-9 come 2.2. Besides, most of the top guilds were already bitter and mad that T5 was nerfed after Blue Gartr got world first, so no one else technically beat the content as it was intended besides them.
I hope so. I need that allagan weapon :0
Oh yes, I desire my Allagan Scepter immensely.
I hope that we are both victorious in our endeavor(s)!
Same thing came to my mind, dunno why anyone would bother with CT anymore. Especially since you can run Coil so much faster.
Varying I guess, going into Coil with Darklight isn't the most efficient way of handling things, but then again these buffs, we'll see. The idea of CT in the first place was to prepare for Coil alongside with the myth gear. Progression should be Endgame hard -> CT -> Coil 1-5 -> Coil 6-9
Well, CT's gear is going to be fairly worthless once 2.2 hits anyway... but I think the fact that you can do CT and sleep through it will still appeal to people.
