Binding Coil - Turn 5 - Divebomb Phase

Sorry but in this case it's kind of true.

While Turn 1 and Turn 2 are execution checks, Turn 4 is a gear check. You need enough DPS to advance through the waves. While it's possible to make up for a lack of gear with exceptional skill and squeeze out more DPS than the average party, most groups won't be downing Turn 4 until they have a couple weeks of gearing in, and their Relics+1 on DPS. Turn 5, similarily, is a mix of a gear check (having the highest HP pools possible certainly helps survive the punishment) and unforgivingly perfect execution, along with, unfortunately, luck, in terms of not being screwed over by the RNG.

But yeah, don't wanna derail this into a WoW topic...so nevermind.

There really isn't too much randomness with Twintania different from any other boss. Sure fireball happens on a person and that person needs to react to a debuff(no different from any other game). Conflag the same way, divebomb however is completely avoidable and easily surviveable. You forget Coil was meant to be after CT, so you should be doing that fight with a mix of 80-90 gear meaning most people will have an average of 4.5k+ health; I have 4.6k fully buffed and it's no problem so far. Even if you are hit, you won't die.

Divebomb isn't even the worst problem in this encounter -- and it is a problem. The mechanic is clearly intended to be avoided (though you are right, it is survivable), but there isn't a consistent way to legitimately avoid it. This problem translates directly into the following phase, which is unfortunately much more deadly than divebomb.

hrum i guess everything was doable and not random after all!

this pretty much sums up a lot of the bullshit in the fight
