Some of the "hard" mechanics in Coil1 got changed on top of the echo (actually, I can only think of HV paralyze being cleansable as the only change) and you could click off the echo buff to do the fights the "right" way after the nerf.I think the biggest problem is how devastating these mechanics could be when not done well. SCOB was -all- about mechanics and them dealing a blow to your party. BCOB did not have the same issues. Hell, trying to PUG T7 in PF for farming runs has been an utter disaster for me. I could only count on my static.
Second Coil got broken. Clicking off Echo doesn't restore the original "challenge" like it did in Coil1, so for anyone who wanted to get around to fighting the "real" Coil has missed that chance 5ever. No, Savage doesn't really count.
This is what happens when your mechanics boil down to "do this perfect or die." There's no real way to "fix" the fight later to tone it down without overcompensating. I can only imagine what'll happen to Coil3, if anything does happen to Coil3, when Heavensward lands.
The fact is though, Coil is a main part of the story. SCOB is old content. If these nerfs were done to FCOB I'd be upset but with SCOB being old content, I feel like it's just getting people up to speed on the story they have been missing out on.
