Issues with Coil: Statics v. The Rest of Us

[Drakan]

Facepalm indeed! I get the impression you don't know what a loot lockout is all about. I didn't at any time say loot lockout by class! The whole point is that you wouldn't be able to roll again on anything, regardless of what job you are on or were on when you get a drop. You get one chance to roll on loot, which is for the stuff that drops on your first weekly run. After that first win, you're done for the week. You would only be able to run it for fun and tomestones, but you are an automatic pass thereafter once the win is flagged for that week. Other games have implemented similar systems with very little effort or issue.

I think you didn't understand what he meant and I'll explain, because I know that given that opportunity, I'm sure most of my own coil group would be happy to do it.

He's not talking about alt jobs or classes, he's talking about alt character. If the whole group has an alt character of the same main job than his main character, you could basicly do 8 runs of each coil and give all the loots to the person who is on his main at every run.

Even more, after a person has done his turn on his main, he can even continue the rest of the runs on his main, because it will be capped anyways, so basicly, every week, each member could get up to 6 pieces of gear just doing turns 1-4, and for a group that knows the fights, they can really do it in full DL.

Monday night, time to run coil 1-4 for 3 ppl. first run, main tank on his main job, cause you want your guy with big armor to tank the big hits, cause both your healers are in ilvl70 gear. Second run, both tanks, third to 6th runs you bring a DD, and you finish with the healers... because if the healers can get through turns 1-4 with 7/8 in full DL, there is no reason to get them on their mains before the DDs that will speed things up...
