What is the end game progression for Tanks supposed to be?

[Nabian]

His ilvl for his main class is only 85, means he still has several pieces he can buy for it using myth tomes; Coil is likely going to limit him to gear for his primary class as well. CT on the other hand is essentially free loot.

Let's be completely honest....CT is a complete waste of time at this point. If your still running CT for anything besides glamour your wasting your time.

Or he can spam brayflox. I'm guessing (without checking) that he is only 4-5 pieces shy of full i90 with myth. Depending on which pieces he's missing that can't be more than 3000 myth tokens or so. It won't take long to completely gear out warrior while spamming those dungeons. Especially when you consider even a party full of brain dead players should be able to get a full clear in 20 min. Which equates to about 150 myth and 75 soldiery every hour. If he's a competent tank he can put together speed run groups or just clear the first two bosses and increase that to at least 300 myth per/hr maybe more if he's in a good party.

As for my recommendations. Clear the ex primals as soon as possible and hope you get lucky on accessories but I wouldn't farm them (with the exception of levi ex and moogle mog ex). And spam brayflox for tombs until your full i90. After that find a good FC and build a static party. Work on getting through t5 of coil 1 and start working on coil 2.

Actually it's 135 sold per hour with 20 min runs, 45 is base drop,25 is from roulette once per day

I have the i90 body, gloves and ring the i100 pants, sword and shield. I think everything else is i70. Is it better to buy up i100 or i90 pieces at this point? Either one requires grinding tomes afterall.

Passed Coil part 1 for the first time last night...so I'm going to see how far I can go into coil. I'd like to get at least to average item lvl 90 before attempting EX Garuda again (so far two tries after watching video).

I would cap the soldiery tomes weekly, and at the same time you would be obtaining myth tomes. I would go buying the myth gear and soldiery gear as you are able to and see if you can skip some myth gear if you will very soon be buying the soldiery one.

You'll need a lot of myth tomes for the Animus upgrade. Myth accesories except ring are not that good (melded HQ rose gold are better if you can afford them or you could wait for the soldiery ones.) You have the Atma (big congratulations!), so in the meantime you can start working on getting the books while you advance in other content.

Make sure you cap your tombstones for soldiery every week. Since myth tombs (although a pain to grind) are limitless. I would purchase soldiery gear as you are available (starting first with your body). Get myth upgrades until your i90.

You have more than enough gear to handle Ex primals as long as you know the mechanics. The hardest part of Garuda Ex (if MT) is learning to time your IB so that you have it available for double wheel (if tanking garuda and suparna *don't recommend*). If tanking chirada and garuda the timing is spaced out a bit and easier to handle. If your the OT it's super easy. Just grab whatever mob the MT doesn't and kill it. Then pull the other sister off and kill it. Grab spiny during tornado and let MT take it when your at 2 stacks. There are a few detailed guides online I would encourage you to check out.

If you can dodge, then your only concern with titan is finding 7 other people who aren't brain dead.

Lastly Ifrit imo is probably the easiest of the three original ex primal fights (although leviathan is a close second).
