Coil Turn 5 Advice

[Adler]

Haven't beaten turn 5 yet but for me it helps to simply focus target Twintania at start of battle so I can see the cast bar. About how far to move outside the pit - I hear the sound of divebomb starting or see green icon and move out, hear the sound of her swipe attack and move back already before the divebomb animation has ended to wait on next divebomb.

Also what work for me on timing second set of divebombs as drg - wait for 2-3 sec till tank get hate on Asceplius and use Chaos thurst combo. When the dot of Chaos thurst is wearing out I position myself and get ready for second set of divebombs. I find it a lot easier than any macros etc this way.

Been running turn 5 for a little while now using Party finder groups and can regularly reach dive bomb phases and snake spawn. But I always find that we have trouble if any of us ever get hit by dive bomb.

What's the standard tactic if even when you respond to the green symbol that you get thrown across the arena and still survive?

Hi,

Few tips which I always give to my friends regarding T5 are:
1) Turn off party effects.
This way you can easier see conflag, fireball and divebombs marks.
2) Turn off music and have sound effects high.
Sometimes its easier to hear divebombs than see
3) Divebombs macro.
one person can set a macro like:
/p Divebombs in 45seconds <se.X>
/wait 35
/p Divebombs in 10 seconds <se.X>
/wait 5
/p Divebombs in 5 seconds <se.X>

The macro should be activated as soon as snakes spawn. This helps greatly with 2nd set of divebombs
Problem is that if the one who used macro uses new one, the previous one gets cancelled.

4) Snakes don't cleave.
Tell the tank to stay close to the party in the pit. As far as I know those snakes do not have any aoe, so no need to run to the top for tanking them and risking being late at divebombs.


Best strategy I've seen was 1tank, 5dps, 2 heals, with SMN and SCH stacking their pets on one side of Twint.
Hope this helps!
