Yes, if at all possible. I think Paladins might also have a silence.

I don't know if this has been asked yet or not, but is there a recommended determination amount for monks in the Coils?

Once again, not to be a douche... keep trying and figure it out. Turn 5 is going to be the least guided publicly..

If you aren't looking to learn on your own then just wait till someone kills and people release info on the mechanics. ;)

Best of luck!

2 bards is optimal. Bard and paladin is doable. I would say monk is a last resort for silencing, it's just a huge dps loss to sit there in the correct form when it's about to be cast.

Bleh anyone running two bards is looking for ez-mode.

But yea... silence as a monk is barley viable in that fight, we rotate paladin and bard silence.

2nd this, its glaringly obvious how to deal with fireball if you spend 15 mins on boss.

And if something dosnt work, experiment and try something new.

So running optimal groups is a bad thing? Running two warriors, two white mages, and four monks is Hardcore mode? Wish I knew that sooner. Been doing it wrong this entire time.

My status without bonus attribute as WHM now is :

VIT 356
MND 400
PIE 339

If look at the current end-game which is CB, what status should I add my 30 point in? ^^;

There's no minimum or recommended number for determination, as it's a secondary stat and not a very high-priority one.
