Binding Coil - Turn 5 - Divebomb Phase

[Xilrasis]

honestly i think the fight is gonna block most every guild for about another month to 6 weeks... simply because there is not enough gear int he game for the checks in that fight. Remember coil is a tier past where we are supposed to be, crystal tower will be easier and drop the gear to get you into coil according to yoshi.

Gear isn't even the issue. Nothing in the encounter is a hard gear check that we have seen thus far, only padding for easier progress.

The concern I have is that it is a brutally long, 5 phase encounter which decides to randomly kill off people halfway through. I'm just trying to find out if anyone has confirmed that there is a viable, working, consistent strategy for this phase.

Crystal Tower gear will also only be ilvl 80 if it is a tier lower than coil. If there's not enough gear between coil drops and myth gear then the fight is in fact broken/poorly tuned when even being almost at the ilvl of the instance a group still cannot down the final boss. It would be one thing if coil didn't drop items to fill almost every slot for every class but outside of the few pieces it doesn't seem to drop(or that no one has linked yet) it has the gear to fill almost all of those slots and then you can supliment the rest with myth gear. If CT gear in those last few slots is needed to down this boss then there's something else wrong with the boss(or group skill) considering the jump from DL to CT will only be about the same as AK to DL(which isn't a make or break a fight difference if it's only a select few slots).

Again, gear isn't even the issue here ... its the boss randomly deciding to gib people and toss them into insta-kill walls in an unpredictable manner.


For those of you who havn't seen this phase of the encounter, imagine Landslide on Titan... with no definitive ability hitbox, less reaction time, and a very short period to determine alignment.... with similar or worse positional lag.
