Final coil in duty finder

How many groups with T13 clears would you say are offering carries?

I don't know if every seller is organised like this. But from those who I know the structure is more like a fraction than a group. There is one that advertise the kills. If there is someone who wants to buy the kill, the advertiser begins to work through his list of players (they mostly have way more than one char on their account) to gather a group for that kill. Then the buyer get his kill.

Also it makes a difference, if the buyer wants loot or not. For kills without loot you can recycle chars that already have lockout.

A true carry would be impressive but doable. (buyer jumps into the wall) Lots of people have gotten their clear with 1 chest or 0 chest.

Our last sale where the buyer wanted a chest we had 3 new people clear. Only took 4 pulls or so. Plenty of capable people out there without a static.

So is the loot lockout for each turn for the week vanishing as well with 2.55?

Yes. Farm on!

I don't even think it is possible to carry someone through Bahamut because we are always like 10-20 seconds from enrage when Bahamut dies. Having 1 person just dying and contributing nothing the whole fight will make you hit the enrage for sure. Having the buyer try to contribute will not end well because there are many ways they could wipe you. Not to mention dive bombs can pick their dead body so that would be fun too.

It is possible. There are some incredible groups out there that have been farming Bahamut for a long time now and do it expertly. When you've been doing it a while as well, your gear matches the difficulty more and you find the leeway for the carry.
I know that one of the groups that sells T13 clears on my server is full of people who most likely wouldn't care if someone was dead on the ground for the entire fight. Their combined dps is insane.

Wish they would make different levels of difficulty in the DF (NM, HM, EXtreme) like other MMO's (TERA comes to mind and if you've played that, it you know it has more mechanics geared for moving targets, etc.), rather than nerf it after the fact.

Please no. This is developer laziness at it's worst. "Oh instead of creating new content, I'll just have a
(o) Nerf, 0.01% low-drop-rate reward, that is still vendor trash, you can probably solo this.
and a
( ) Normal, rare-drop, that everyone will farm this tier anyway.
( ) Hard, where the dungeon compensates for the power-creep and everything has 10x the HP
( ) Extreme, where the dungeon over-compensates for the gear power-creep and everything is 100x"

Yet the content itself is the same, maybe some size/recolors. That's not "new" content, that's just the developer trying to correct for power-creep the cheapest way possible. FFXIV has levelsync, which gets rid of the need for this kind of excuse. Levelsync should probably be tightened up and apply to all existing content.

The problem with coil in DF and why i'll never go back and try it is that people cant be bothered to at least watch a video first. They wait and hope they get carried through it.

Sorry, you're not breaking my back.

If you excuse for not watching a video is "I want to experience it" ... well then.. experience it with a preformed first.

That doesn't work at all. If you want to experience it, go into the DF, and when the party wipes the third time, and the vote is to abandon, you abandon it. The next time around you'll already know what to expect. There are so few people trying Coil you'll get the same people, repeatedly.

Clearing T5 and T9 in DF is so rare for one simple reason, the mentality to Vote Abandon/Leave after a few wipes. You don't really get a chance to practice when someone calls a Vote Abandon after a few wipes and if it fails, that person will leave, after one person leaves, the rest follow. If people stayed the full timer, people would actually get practice on it and the DF clears for these duties would increase.

Of course there are stupid players out there, but there are a lot of people who could clear them if they could get the practice.

Why would you want FCoB in DF (other than unlocked loot) when every turn will be just the same as T5 and T9 until nerfed? The group coordination required in FCoB atm is too strict for DF.

What should be required is that all Turns are unlocked in the same way the cutscenes are unlocked. Once you pass it once, it remains unlocked. This would still require a "duty roulette" mode for Coil because nobody does the non-farmable stuff.

If you think players are downing turns "by watching Mr Happy" (one of the worst guides currently available) then you're spitting on all the statics who spend days, sometimes WEEKS mastering each mechanic.

i tend to help people out with things like weekly clears. But I put a LOT of time into perfecting my rotation on both tank and DPS. I do think that it will be clear able through DF, but people are going to need nerfs+learning.

(Edit: Formatting, some grammar)

Mr.Happy's guides are kinda terrible because they make assumptions that just aren't true for DF. You are never going to get a perfect group. If by some chance you got all BLM's and no BRD's it's going to be a mess.

It's probably better for everyone if the content never gets nerfed and instead put incentives to replay the content, levelsyncing/ilevel sync everyone to the weakest player in the group. That would also incentive actually being properly geared before attempting hard content. Unfortunately the right-hand-side of the gear is more heavily weighted than the left-hand-side. So someone might just hit a minimum ilevel requirement by having level 120/130 accessories when a left-hand-side gear would be more beneficial in terms of actual defense.

There's probably room for improvement in your static. Rotations, positioning and moving, equipment, food and potions...

But yeah, I get your point.

We 7man t13. Its possible.

I highly, HIGHLY doubt such guides are made with randomly-formed DF groups in mind. That's not really a fair critique.
