Binding Coil of Bahamut Discussion

[carraway]

So I'm excitingly following this thread.
How is turn 3 going? Almost got it? Progress? Wipefest? Impossible?

Really interesting to see how well the fastest FC in the world are doing in Binding Coil of Bahamut.

We cleared Turn 3 last reset but were only able to put in a little bit of time on Turn 4 on Sunday. We recleared through Turn 3 yesterday and we'll be working on 4 for the rest of the week. We also have another group working on Turn 2.

Question about "gear check".

1. I think that coil of Bahamut require everybody to have full DL set and relic first?
2. Do you think HM primals require full DL gear for tank or not? It seem to be a big different in tank with DL and without somehow as a healer, especially WAR.

I agree with the sentiments from Endall and Eronn. You don't have to have full DL and relics to start Coil, but they certainly help, especially on the DPS and tanks. I offtanked Turn 1 with Garuda's Gaze, Thormoen's Purpose, heavy DL hands/legs, PLD AF body/head, and ilvl 52-55 accessories, but I'm sure my healers would have preferred it if I'd had better gear.

You should be fine through Titan (Hard) with a mix of ilvl 60 greens, DL purchased from philosophy, and ilvl 70 weapons, but having relic weapons on your DPS shortens the fight, which means less time for someone to make a mistake in a relatively execution-dependent fight.
