It's about time to add Coil story mode, isn't it ?

I can be doubly overgeared and know all the patterns perfectly enough never to miss anything, there's no guarantee the other seven will be like that too.

If the other seven members can't catch on within a reasonable amonut of time, you have a few choices with this being an MMO:

a) Seek out people who are on your skill and dedication level to clearing new content.
b) Wait till your group overgears the content to a point where poor execution doesn't matter.
c) Watch youtube.
d) Cry about it on the official forums.

a) "Got a third of it down, my dedication level on a 1-10 scale is somewhere around 7.03" - yeah, would go well with the "kill exp only" PFs (which only those put up who, for the most part, already have a static or are looking for one member for their own).
b) If I had / could get a group, I wouldn't be throwing myself against a rock trying DF, would I?
c) Will do, when I want to watch a movie or a music video; not when I'd like to play a game.
d) If it makes you feel better, call it crying; this is the best (the only) place where any kind of opinion about any part of the game has any chance of being heard (public events excluded on account of being very limited in more ways than one).

With the current state of the game, needing a static for turn 5 is as obsurd as needing a static for Ifrit HM.

Yeah, I haven't noticed a whole row of insta-kill "mechanics" in Ifrit HM, but nvm. In any case, nowhere did I say it's needed; point is it's not as easy when all the other 7 are unknown variables. I've had a fair share of wipes even in T1 and T2 (many times the echo doesn't even come into play because people ragequit after the first and the party disbands).

I keep reading your name as "Breathless Taco" for some reason. It keeps reminding me that I want some street tacos. Thanks for that.

Don't meet potato DPS check for nails: OH-KO
Stand in middle of arena during charges: OH-KO

And if t5 is an unknown variable, get 7 other potatos like you, watch guide and discuss how2kill twintania (potato edition), run in there and don't forget to focus target.

Here's the kicker, so listen closely: "If the potato is too baked, get new potato."

Congrats, you did it.
