CT Noobs

[waca]

From my own experience, every single time people fail CT, it's because they don't understand the raid, every single time!
It's not because the gear.

[adahn]

just because someone has poor gear doesn't mean they have poor skill. many like me have fully geared mains and even first alts so in order to get something actually useful they go with poor geared classes. for example post 2.1 I get one il90 weapon per week so there is zero reason for me to get a relic and waste 900 phil stones on it which I can use to buy mats, gear up my nth alt etc.

point is if they pass the ilvl check of the dungeon they are gonna be fine.

I completed CT wearing Christmas chess and commendations crown

CT is easy, too easy.

On Behemoth, using WHM is...cast medica II, hide back the comet, medica II, hide and loot.

The main problem is... we are playing CT 3 weeks and explanations need 10 minutes

I bet I could beat the entirety of CT in nothing but AF1 (imo: the LV50 Default Gear) and Ifrit's Claws with accessories to push my ilvl up to 55.

It would be a challenge, but it's very doable. If CT required full DL, its ilvl would be set to 65 or 70. Not 55.

The folks who perform the worst at CT are, as has been said, the ones who simply don't know the fights. The amount of damage the bosses put out is no greater than the damage put out by WP/AK bosses. I walked into some of Acheron's lesser AoEs on purpose just to see how much damage I would take. In full DL as a MNK, I took maybe 1/7th-1/8th of my bar worth of health, which isn't that bad at all. I figure, if someone was in AF1, that'd equate to 1/4-1/3 of their bar at the most. Dangerous, but not life-threatening. If they knew the fight, you could wear the crappiest armor possible while still keeping yourself at ilvl 55 and still win.

Vegeta, what does the scouter say about OP's elitist jerk attitude?

Well.. you know.

... Don't know how you've had a bad run in CT. I've done it at least 20 times and never had 1 not clear. Sure there are smooth runs, and rocky runs, but all of them cleared it.

Secondly, if SE wanted it done in full DL they would have made the entry IL requirement 70, not 61 or w/e it is.

Last night I made a premade for CT where we all carefully wore as much holiday gear as possible while still meeting the ilvl requirement. Not only did we win a few of the dps "races" but I also picked up and held the giant without any problems during KB when the full +1 geared OT died to a meteor.

Moral of the story, just have an idea of what you're doing and you'll be fine queuing for whatever you want. Then sit on all the super geared dead people once the smoke clears.
