Binding Coil of Bahamut - Current difficulty level

If you make it to Turn 13, pray. Pray to whatever diety you worship. Finding 7 competent people to do this with is harder than the fight itself.

Turn 5 and Turn 9 will wipe even the highest geared of players, simply because of mechanics.

T5 has to be done in pretty much exactly the same manner, though death sentence is less of one.

One MAJOR mechanic has been outgeared and that was the need to LB all the snakes together to make sure the big one could be DPS'd down in time.

Now it's just burn 'em all ASAP and let God sort 'em out.

Watch a good video with some guy explaining all the mechanics, learn the pattern of all the phases, try it in DF for practice (try to passe the Twisters phase), then when you think you ready to clear it, go PF in a clear party. I did it and it took me around a mouth to clear T5 as a DPS. The main difficulty it's to find 7 other people who can do all the patterns without dying in the process.

Learn the mechanics. Learn Raid awareness. Learn to perfect the placement of the mobs, getting them there quickly. Learn to build hate really really fast. Learn each individual Bosses pattern for optimized Defense CD rotation. Get some good friends that are good players. Should be fine. Really the hardest one is getting 7 other good people, if you yourself are good. If you're not good...well...gotta get good and still get 7 other good people.

I was gonna mention the accuracy myself. The wod set looks good, and it's i120, but there is very little accuracy on the left side and that will make things impossible to tank.

[Carvaka]

Yup, started shifting it out for the poetics with more acc. Thanks for the acc tip!

About T5, I am playing on a Jap server, and my Jap lang is just basic. I watched guides, but kept dying (>30 times). I am a tank, usually ST.
The part with the snakes is hardest: I know the trick of how to kill them, but when I'd try that, the players stayed close to the snakes when they died, which is bad.
I watched a Japanese guide now too. In it, the ST grabs gets the first 2 small snakes to follow him around the dungeon in a circle, until the next 2 small snakes arrive, then bring all 4, incl. big one, then kill them, then the players stay far away (slightly different from Engl. one).
I tried doing this too, but I can't get the snakes to follow me. My gear is 103. The MT & others are a lot better geared than me. What do you think: should I keep trying this a ST or try as MT? If ST, how do I deal with the small snakes?

Gosh darnit... Lost my post due to copy/paste failure. Awesome.

To Haruki above, I'm not sure about differences in JP vs NA methods for T5 but it's honestly easier to just burn the first two snakes to the ground with the main one with the current overgearing. The only difficulty really is in doing DPS while dodging the Divebombs (and it's something you should probably get used to anyway).

That said, if you've having trouble pulling them away it's going to be tough until you upgrade gear. The biggest would be to go after would be your weapon. Even getting to the i110 would make a difference. Otherwise, make sure no DPS are hitting the snakes and use Flash and Provoke as necessary.

But again, if they're all better geared than you that effectively puts them to the i130+ mark or higher which significantly outgears the content and you're probably better off going burn method (in fact, that might be what the DPS are expecting if they're the ones keeping you from pulling the snakes away).

I've tried it 10 more times, mainly as ST. ST is incredibly hard in this one. With MT I was closest but twister killed me. I think MT is 10 times easier.
