Binding Coil - Turn 5 - Divebomb Phase

[Xell]

Sooner or later it will happen. There have to be a guild now whom are very close on having 8 core players in full ilvl 90 gear with relic +1. Personally, I will be happy to just have turn 5 on farm within the next 4-5 weeks .

No fc is close to having 8 players with full i90s. It doesn't matter how hardcore a guild is, they can't farm it. They get 6 pieces a week to split between the party + .5ish pieces per week per player from myth tokens. At best a fc has a solid 8 players with about half their set, and that is only if they split into 2-3 groups and then consolidated the most geared players into group 1. You can even check their gear at xivarmory.

Gear isn't what's holding people back if you've been reading any of the thread, it's the insta-gib divebombs that happen multiple times throughout the fight and are 95% guaranteed to take out a person each time. Gear will not let you survive these things. Not sure why you're looking forward to having coil on farm either within the next few weeks when that will be the only high end content for the next 5 months outside of extreme primals which no one knows what they will even drop yet(if it's worse than coil gear what will be the point).

That's not even the problem. This isn't the same thing as spell hit/spell animation; I also don't believe it's as simple as server position versus client position.

The difficulty curve of Coil is weak, Twintania wasn't well tested. The only reason any guilds are putting serious time into her at this point is for world first street cred.

Have you done much Phase 4 progress yet? Its even worse there than with divebomb.

I feel like they tested this encounter with full ilvl 90 gear on a local server with 3 ping with all of the mechanics previously known and no positional update throttling.

I mean, yeah. I think that's actually exactly what happened.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not :P But just to make sure, the emphasis was on the local server and positional update part -- the rest is just gravy. You guys having the same problems?

The fight is very rng. Random wipes in phase 1 due to double fireballs on tank at the same time as death is also fun.

Why do I get a mental image of Twintania going "WHATEVA, I DO WHAT I WANT!"

I have a question, people say there isnt enough end game content but yet no one has made it to Stage 5 as its called, So what exactly is bahamuts coil? is it like those weapons in FF7? or Tiazamat in ff12? Where its just extra fun to do? I'm so confused obviously im no where near max level so i was just curious.

The Binding Coil is an 8 man dungeon that's extremely difficult. It drops the best gear in the game at the moment (Allagan equipment).

As to people who say there isn't enough endgame content...well, I'd ignore them until they go and beat turn 5.

"Bashing your head" against Turn 5 for 6 days of the week does not really mean "there is enough endgame content"^^

I'm fine with how it is right now, don't get me wrong, but I really can't wait for 2.1^^ With the content coming there I think the game is good to go content wise for a while^^
