Rebalancing Aufheben Phase 5

I feel as though this should be addressed. At this point, many believe that the 15 percent DoT is intentional in phase 5, which makes me think that it should be rebalanced so that it's more reasonable for players. In its current state, without any external sources of healing (familiars, etc.), the intervals between each crack spawning are not fast enough, meaning that even if we have the appropriate thesis/antithesis debuff to match the crack, we would die regardless of whether we touched it or not because it the cracks are slower than the DoT. For comparison/reference, in JMS the DoT in phase 5 is 1 percent per second (refer to x3TheAran59's video). After countless attempts in parties of high DPS players, we still cannot fully clear the boss, even trying the bind-burst strategy many suggested. Many love the nostalgia of Neo City and want to collect all the exclusive event rewards while we still can, but simply cannot because of the difficulty of the boss mechanics and may fear missing out on it. Please let me know what you think so that we can increase awareness and hopefully enjoy the boss fight without frustration and unlock the cool items!

    Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. But since the event is over in a week, there's 0% chance Nexon'll do anything. Or maybe they'll pull a Misty Island and fix a bunch of things after the event is over.

    If nexon brings the event back, which they should given how complex the boss setup is, they can use this for next time.
