Binding Coil of Bahamut Discussion

Although I am worried it might be similar to FFXII and the zodiak spear. Its starting to sound that way.

Keep the 3 drakes alive all the way to twister phase, amirite?

[Gold_Jacobson]

Anyone try emotes on him...?

[SonyaArin]

Since this thread bounces between topics, I've created a topic specifically for brainstorming/showing proof of failure/success strats for Twister in another there here. As promised!

[AridElf]

Likely just a cop out.

DD was just "fixed" even though it was "Working as intended".

Working as intended does not mean balanced.

Next, there have been a lot of comments about how surviving Twintania's "Twister" ability is seemingly random. Please know that it is not random and that the development team has adjusted the difficulty of this battle to be of the highest level that is in the game currently. With that said though, it was still designed to be beaten. While we definitely cannot comment on strategy, we believe that a valiant group will be able to defeat Twintania.

Is this the same team responsible for Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden in FFXI?

I really don't think it would be a beat this in x turn to make turn 5 work, unless you get some kind of item drop from doing it. Keep in mind that aside from saving your progress as "completed" there isn't really anything else to doing something in one turn vs another. For example, if you had 4 people down turn 2 one way and another 4 people down turn 2 another way, when you combine those 8 people together which "turn 2 completion" would it take? The leaders? the group majority?

It takes the leader's. The leader is the one who has to initiate it, and if someone is ahead of where the leader is, they can't go in.

[Soukyuu]

Y'know, I remember a topic about Turn 3 seeming odd to many people. Mayhap the solution lies there?

From what I remember, Bayohne (or Camate?) posted that Turn 3 doesn't have any hidden stuff in it and it's working as intended.

Wasn't that context in regards to bosses?

And also, the mod said "no loot" but there's chests with items (potions) in them.

So... yeah I don't know wtf to think.

this is the first mechanic in MMO history that has not been figured out by the hardcorest of all hardcore raiders. Bravo SE, you are making history

Not really, four horsemen took eight weeks for people to figure out and kill. The problem was it was a stupid strategy. No one seriously expected Blizzard to require 20% of your raid to be warriors with 3 pieces of T3. AV's "strategy" wasn't discovered for years and it was never successfully replicated in a legit kill.
