Why I have no interest in Coils more specifically, T9.

[Elusana_Celah]

Umm if you go study a guide and watch a video 5 times you're going to "KNOW" T9 just like a classroom book. But then when you actually try T9 you will quickly see that you still need to be able to react to the mechanics that you know and focus at all times to make sure you don't cause a raid wipe by derping.

It's a combination of focusing, reacting and understanding that leads you to victory. Just 'knowing' the fight like a classroom book isn't going to help you until you are skilled enough to react to the mechanics.

I mean I've solo healed T9 before, phase 4 begins and you got first favor starting up, gotta rush to heal the tank while rushing to group to the party then count the first 2 fires, watch for lightnings and be ready to move away in case someone isn't moving with lightning from tunnelvisioning, then after fire in you gotta spread out, watch for 2 super novas, dart to the center to take thermionic, then you gotta heal the raid while remember to virus Nael and prepare for her ninja-bahamut's favor and sometimes I get hit with thunder at that moment and gotta have the reaction and focus to get away from group and still keep healing the tank.

I'm sorry I just can't agree with you that T9 is all about 'knowing' the fight not about 'reacting' to the fight.

There are two levels of difficulty going on here:

1: Adhering to the mechanics.
2: Reacting to the mechanics.

Understanding the mechanics and being able to react to them is a form of 'skill'. It may stand to reason that you do not consider this skill, but I do. If you could beat all fights simply from reaction without understanding anything that is going on well... you get the majority of non coil content :P Coils take it up a notch and require you to understand what is going on and knowing how to react to the mechanics in ways that work best for your party.

For example: Golems in T9

You can drop them in the center circles, you can drop them against the wall. Meteor placement in phase 1 can be anywhere you want. The back walls are just the easiest to deal with. There's about a million ways you can handle the mechanics, it just requires you as a team to do your job.
