    Borderline, but totally possible if you have a couple slightly higher geared DPS.

    You'll need more accuracy.

    Looking at your gear, unfortunately you're still severely undergeared for coil. Get some Darklight Accessories, a lot of them have accuracy. Also pick up the Darklight Cowl when you have a chance, you'll get a pretty substantial boost in your INT, and Darklight Hands give a decent amount of accuracy.

    I'd reccomend running some other dungeons instead of AK for tomestones of Philosophy since there are other options like CM or Prae that you can run for the same amount. Switch it up so you don't get burnt out on one dungeon.

    Generally a good rule of thumb is full darklight before thinking about Coil.

    I have the AF2 head piece, which I can't wear with the cowl. The Dema Robe and AF2 Head piece have higher stats than the Cowl anyway

    Darklight Hands give a decent amount of accuracy
    I'm already wearing those D:

    Ah, looks like Lodestone just isn't up to date then.

    You probably would want to get Darklight Earrings (+12 Acc) and Band (+12 Acc) at least before considering coil. I would also reccomend buying or crafting a Vanya Robe of Casting which has +21 base accuracy on it on the NQ and you can meld Materia in it as well. That should hold you over until you get your AF2 body, but even then you'll need to make sure you make up the Accuracy you're losing.

    Early Coil accuracy isn't a huge deal, but later turns it really sucks missing DoT applications or a Fester. Get some Stuffed Cabbage or other Accuracy food and a few more accuracy-centric pieces of gear and I think you'll be OK to try out the first couple turns!
