Anyone clear any FCoB in DF yet with a group of randoms (no premades)?

I had a T13 get to DBs one shot then it regressed to phase 2 and 1 wipes after lol. I then queued for another T13 and we wiped once, someone asked to be kicked cuz he has a raid and he only queued to check the changes out so that was kinda pointless.

I predict people have at least cleared T10 in DF :P

I finally managed today to clear T10 for the first time via DF today!

At first we had a couple of trolls, but soon after they left we gotten other people to join and we attempted T10 again. We wiped a few times and after the wipe at 25% we got the tactic down now and when we did it after that we finally BEAT the boss! No one died that time and we were excited and happy to clear it! ^_^

Especially me, who has been trying for a while now to clear it. Funny how putting together a PF I could hardly find people to help me clear T10 or we wiped too many times and everyone left or leaves during PF, but when I go into DF I had a better chance of clearing it than with PF.

Well I'm happy to finally finish it, but now I have T11-13 left to do now before I complete the Coil story.

A lot of that difference probably comes from the fact that final coil now has an echo buff, while previously in your PF attempts it wasn't present.

I know 10% may not seem like a lot to people on the surface, but it actually makes a huge difference.

I've solo queued T13 once just for kicks and actually made it to the first Ack Morn

Sad thing is, parties usually regress into a cesspool of phase 1-2 wipes after ONE good performance. I really don't understand how things can go good then suddenly suck. If players had it in them to play good once, why can't they keep playing good after? This stuff really frustrates me.

I first cleared T10 in DF. I was lucky and got a party full of new players we worked on it and after a few wipes we cleared it.

A broken clock is right twice a day!

Had a group get T13 down to 8% o.O

To update this post, I literally just cleared T12 in DF like right now :P it was great. Took us 3 tries but we did it!

I cleared Turn 13 in Duty Finder - 1st Try. Only 1 DD death. 4 Akh Morns. After the win, it sounded like everyone were strangers (got first time clears for 6/8 in the party).

Fatigue. After a dozen runs/attempts I start to taper off personally.

Did a T13 for fun, ended up in a 4 melee composition hilariously (with me as a monk) enough. It did quite well surprisingly enough, we nearly got to DB the first time, and finally reached it at hte end, though there were quite a few deaths, mostly to rage of bahamut or megaflares not being healed enough. I'm mostly glad to have been able to teach the OT a bit.

After 1 pull? >_> That's what I'm referring to LOL

I haven't had the chance to do it myself yet, but one of my FC members got into T13 solo and got his clear first try.

I don't know why so many people were worried about fcob df. Most of the 'baddies' can't clear t9 so fcob is well filtered.

Done T11 with 3 friends, at 3° try.

4 people got the first kill ^^

Cleared a new healer and a couple DPS through T11 yesterday.
I queued in alone, but the two tanks and one of the healers were from my server and I play with them from time to time, so it was pretty much a partial premade.

We got ourselves a healer in T13 that most likely paid his way trough T9. Had no clue what is what and where to move. He said he was there for the cutscene. You would think that if thats all you wanna see there are multiple other options to choose from instead of DF...
