Thoughts on GLs

NOTE: These are just guesses/theories some of this content I have not run, and I am honestly just looking for player opinions. Feel free to disagree with the below list, but please share your opinions on what you think is best/would work and your expereince with it. My below list is in no way a defined or true list, I just made one based on my experiences from 2.0 through 2.1, and obviously for the new stuff from 2.2. But I have not run some of the 2.0-2.1 content at anything below i7, so I only have my old experiences to go off of.


I pulled this off my blog, assumed more people might see it here:

Hey guys, I want your feedback on what you feel the appropriate and minimum gear levels should be for the following:

***Update to reflect posters opinions***
Pharos Sirius
haukke Manor HM - I think mid 50's should be doable here, upper
Copperbell HM
Ifrit HM

Lost city of Amdapor
Halitalli HM - mid 50-60
Brayflox HM

Garuda HM
Moogle king HM - mid 60s-upper 60s

CT - 50-mid 50.

Titan HM - 70, or at least HP around 3k

Leviathan HM - mid 70s

Garuda EX - mid 70s, but I have yet to win this fight and my GL is 90

Titan EX - mid 70 to 80, but i havent done this fight either

Ifrit EX
Binding coil turn 1-5, - 80

Moogle King EX
Leviathan EX - 80 to 90
Binding coil turn 6+

Thoughts?

No no and no.

the ilvl the devs set works just fine.

now t6-9 is i90

I don't even like all the i80+ zones. Pentamelded jewelry still only counts as i70 even though it's a very reasonable alternative to i90 pieces.

Coil 1-5? i80?
lmao
It's all doable in i70, even t4 and 5 with the bloody Echo.

I forgot to mention I haven't done any coil work.

This is not a list I made to set in stone or anything of that means, I wanted to get the communities general opinion since I wasn't able to locate anything online that outlined what gear levels people recommend, other than the Devs recommended levels.

Hopefully the list didn't annoy anyone too much haha

But thank you for those who did respond.

Please show me a vid of a group completing T5 in mostly i70 gear.

Those are way too high... 4000 HP for Titan hard mode is ridiculous, especially with the echo buff now. It used to be the norm to beat it with around 3000, with people shouting for members with >3200.

That wasn't my experience when I ran Titan. The group I was with wanted everyone to be as close to 4k as possible, before echo, because of how many times Titan stops after phase 3. But this is interesting to hear and good to know!

I really want a lot of opinions so I can accurately know this information!

Different Data Centres had differing "required" HP. On Chaos Data Center Titan HM has usually been around 3.2k hp.

as for the OPs Gear level req for Bray: whaa? It can be beat a i55 - with ease even, the "DPS Check" can be circumvented with an LB.
