Having major problems with Coincounter.

Pretty sure you have to be facing your target in order for shield skills to proc. So could explain why Aegis Boon failed you as you were running away.

Why are you running through him to avoid 100t Swing? Why not run straight to your left or right so you can get clear of Swing faster?

The biggest help I found in tanking CC was when I realized he has specific tells to what move he is readying. This way you can watch him and react a bit faster than waiting for him to ready a move and having to look at chat log, etc.

* Raises club in air with one hand = 10/100t Swipe (can dodge it easily by running forward if you are up between his legs)
* Raises club in air with two hands = 10/100t Swing (run to either side to avoid)

Hope that helps!

With lag, I find it easier to watch the battle log than animations except in the case of Ifrit.

Just limit out everything in your battle log except successful hostile actions against you, and you'll be golden. The only text you'll see in there will be something like "Coincointer readies 100 ton swing". That should give you slightly more time to avoid the attack.

Thanks for all of the replies peeps. ^^ A lot of information was given that I could have used during my tanking runs. While I did know about the 1-hand/2-hand trick, I do rely on my log. I'll see if filtering out more stuff helps even more with tanking him.

I also didn't try Sentinel/Divine Veil on swing. I'm gonna try and get the hang of avoiding it, but it's good to know I can fall back on other abilities when possible.

Thanks again guys. And let this topic help other Paladins who might be looking for tanking tips on Coincounter.
