T9 is solo-cueable on DF now right?

Oh look another white belt newbie gatecrashing into black belt world championship tournies!

Hey anouther example on why I don't do statics. Nice to meet you Elitest. I'm the resident Legacy Player Noob of the Dungeon forums. May we never meet in the DF.

Empressia actually has a very valid point, but maybe not articulated/elaborated it properly. Yes, you can go staight to turn 9, but you will miss out on the skills/experience gained from doing turns 6-8 many many many times. Learning how to react properly in those turns will give you far more chance to pass turn 9 than being full i100 without that experience.

I know I lvl 100+ didn't help me even a little in T5. As far as skill goes, I can never tell if it's me or not. Peope yell "Watch the vids Noob!" and no video made ever uses the stratagy that's being used. Having no FC and by extention no static means I might as well forget about coil and finish my other classes.

If there aren't PF up for what you want to do, set one up yourself.

And yes technically you can DF into Turn 9. Good luck actually getting a clear that way. I won't doubt it can happen - I've done T6/7 in DF (but those are comparatively vastly simpler), and I know EX Primals (including Thornmarch which can be a nightmare) have been cleared in DF... but it's extremely unlikely simply due to the frequency with which you will get people who are clueless.

If you're "not sure if it's me or not", it's probably you. When you know the fight well enough to understand properly what's going on you'll be able to tell when you're screwing it up or not. Turn 6+ all require a lot of knowledge on top of being good at your class; Turn 9 in particular is like five completely separate fights with several ways for everyone to die because one person screwed up.

As for videos? Yeah, maybe the exact strategy has changed, but you know what? If you actually understand the fight's mechanics, you can adapt very very easily to whatever new strategy is being proposed when you ask your team 'how are we handling this'. Use videos as a launching point to get an idea of what these things look like and what might be expected of you. They're no substitute for firsthand experience, but they do make a drastic difference in how quickly you'll learn.
