A tank's biggest enemy.... LAG!

Respectfully disagree. We killed him the first time we saw him without really knowing what we were doing. I think we just got lucky and he only used swing when I (tanking him against a wall lol) had Stoneskin up or something, but regardless it was a disappointment. The only thing challenging about Coincounter is the RNG on his ability usage. If he wants to spam Animal Instinct a dozen times in a fight, he can be a bit of a pain in the ass, especially if slug Amnesia hits the tank around the same time. But if he only uses it a couple times and spams Swing a lot like he usually does he's joke easy for anyone to kill.

Ya i'm not sure what it is in this specific situation about him doing WS instantly after animal instinct but i know that
When tanking a boss that has a WS that needs to be read in the log and reacted to immidiatelly... Lag is a big issue.
Imagine being a Tank in Ifrit with insane lag trying to avoid a spam of eruptions that u dont see popping under you while trying to maintain hate on you keeping it away from 4 BLMs nuking hard...

Ya thats exactly it. but he sometimes does not charge it at all. just swings instantly so i cant run away from it since i don't see it comming >.<

The lag has to be on your end and not the game, or otherwise be immensely rare. If this is happening often to you it's gotta be the former. Been running AV a ton the past few weeks and never had an instant Swing.
