    The best way to find a training group for a Turn is to wait until Sunday. There are many people out there who'll complete Turn 1 and Turn 2 and want to give Turn 4 a try, but don't have any experience. Create a group saying "Training for Turn 4, newbies welcome." and figure the Turn out together. They reset the next day, so there's no worry.

    Same for anyone who wants to try Turn 1, or any Turn for that matter (I see plenty of training runs for Turn 5 on Saturdays and Sundays).

    I love when people complain about players asking for experience, which shuts them out because they don't have any. Reminds me of people who complain about employers only wanting people with job experience who aren't willing to go do volunteer work for experience...

    It's easy to get experience in anything. Stop bitching for no reason.

    Here's a link to a bunch of rotation and DPS numbers I wrote up to try help BLM see they aren't as weak as they might think.

    i have no tank gear from coil, been playing since beta
    they say it drops a lot in t1/t2 but 2-3 months of nothing so far so i have a lot of myth gear on my main WAR
    it seems to drop only drg....
    t1/t2 rq cause they are quick, it takes so long to find a pug that can beat t4 since i dont have a static tho
    but i will do coil > ct > myth now
    in that order to see what i need to get from where

    I am iLv86 and have Geared out my BARD in AF+1 gear and have only run T1-2 of Coil so far (Got Allagan Gloves on my first run...Yay!). My issue is that our FC did not have enough players along until just now so we will be starting hopefully very soon. My issue was finding groups to play with and hearing about all the drama that goes on in there with PUG groups and such. We as an FC are waiting until we have our own group all set so we can play together and have fun and not have to worry about the bull crap of other people...we can distribut LOOT as we want etc...

    The only thing I noticed were my myth tomestones piling up to 2000 and I had to decide if I should spend them to buff my main or get stuff for my other jobs.
    Since running Coil with my main I decided to get some items for it, because the only thing that dropped for it was a choker.
    I still want the Allagan gear, but it won't be a big improvement now.
    Too bad they didn't change Coil to the same loot system as CT. I like Coil and currently our static is gearing up and working on T4.

    I honestly don't see a problem with this other than someone who consistently runs coil 1-4 being upset a dungeon grinder has the same item level. It doesn't matter. At least this way if your group has to replace a coil member you can find one that's geared enough to run it and be effective.

    I've been in Coil T1. Twice. And we wiped continuously. I know it's part of the game, but spending over several hours, and people coming in and out to kill the last boss in T1 is just not a very pleasant experience.

    It's come down to the point where farming myth is just easier. Half the effort, twice the work, but getting the same results in the end.

    I've never done any of the EX modes either. Some things are just too damn hard and punishing sometimes and it just completely ruins my chance at attempting to better myself.

    This is coming from someone who tanked/healed in WoW since July '05, and played FFXI since 1.2, for fun, and still managed to make a stupidly high amount of progress character growth wise before Abyssea ruined the game as a whole. As for WoW, I tanked almost all of vanilla all the way up to Naxx40 (but we stopped with BC almost around the corner and no one was logging in). We only cleared Plague and Spider wing. I'd talk more about WoW, but the more I talk about it, the more I want to resub it again.

    I genuinely was hoping SE would nerf T1-T2 damage somewhat, maybe about 10% or something, when 2.1 rolled around, but I'm struggling to just find myself motivated to even bother attempting Coil/EX difficulty/etc.

    Honestly, all I do is log in, do my dailies, the daily duty finder, and log off. Sometimes I'll do some Botany farming but that's about it.

    lol you gotta be kidding me, I played WoW during BC/WotLK/Cata (supposedly the stupid easy era of WoW) and I can pug turn 1-4 every week within 1.5 hours (including time it takes to find the group typically). I'm gonna take a leap and say if you find turn 1-4 intimidating then it's definitely a problem on your end, it's NOT a hard thing to do.

    1-4 are literally just heal spam fights as well.

    Coil has a lock out so I avoided it like the plague because I disagree with lock outs since they are artificial content blockers designed to slow peoples progress down .

    What is COMICAL AND HAHAH ROFLMAO is that Im also fully geared in myth without having to worry about the harass of finding a static group all the time and learn hard content . ILvL 90 haven't had to do coil . LOVE IT!
