The Final Coil: Yoshi P mentioned T11 was going to be the "gear check" as t8 was though

[Ramset]

Generally speaking it's wiser to tank Baha at the add spawns and move him during Giga/Rage casts.

Melee don't have to chase down the add and more importantly the OT doesn't have to wrangle it at range or waste TP on tomahawk/lob. Everyone is already stacked together for heals/mitigation after Giga/Mega+Rage so having the add spawn right there as well is ideal, OT can grab it more easily, DPS burn it down, risk is minimized.

Melee DPS lose virtually no damage since they only have to move once and there's enough time in between adds that SSD/Tackle/Shuku will always be up.

Realistically it doesn't matter. If you're moving the add, or Bahamut, you're still losing DPS somewhere. If your DPS is strong enough you don't need to have all 4 DPS switch targets. We usually leave 1 melee DPS on Bahamut full time. Plus, if your DPS go crazy before the OT hits it, there's a strong chance it's going to beeline for the healer, so there's at extra GCD DPS could be on Bahamut anyway, whereas moving Bahamut you might lose that. Furthermore, it's pretty easy for the OT to move the add into position seamlessly once they have a feel for it. Should result in less DPS loss than moving Bahamut. Also, side note: no real reason the OT should be using Tomahawk/Shield Lob on the add. Only if they want the extra damage while pulling it away. They're terrible options for actual DPS.

[Niiro]

If you're moving Bahamut the DPS use their instant movement skill to get back to him, there's no DPS lost (by the time Baha actually starts moving away the add is there, never not hitting).

If you're moving to the add the melee are either running to the add or running back to Bahamut.

If the add spawns on top of the group still stacked from Rage, even if someone else does get hate on it for a moment it's not leaving melee range, the OT will get it back with their next WS.

If the WHM pulls hate standing way off near Bahamut and the add makes a beeline for them the OT can't do anything but Tomahawk/Lob.

It's much easier and safer to move the mob the MT has had solid hate on for the entire fight than try and dance with a newly spawned add that can go running around because of a BLM crit or a Medica.

[Lokus]

We tank Bahamut basically where he spawns and just move the first add. Our MNK stays on him fulltime while the BLM, BRD, and NIN kill the adds. Our NIN loses 1, maybe 2 GCDs running over to the 2nd and 3rd adds then Sukuchi's back to Bahamut. It doesn't really matter though since we hold dps to not push before the third add spawns cause we're scrubs and don't wanna deal with the add spawning during divebombs or the add gauntlet but I imagine we're gonna have to manup once echo is put in and we're pushing phase faster.

[amadouche]

No globals are lost if Bahamut is moved instead of the add.

[Taint]

We tank him at 6 o'clock and never move him. Our RNG DPS can kill the adds without needing a melee at all. I could see a progression group taking advantage of moving Bahamut around but at current ilvls it shouldn't matter either way. We hault DPS waiting for the 3rd add...I know you can push to have the 3rd add spawn after giga but we've never had smooth transitions doing that so we just use the same method for sale runs or static runs.

[Deadgye]

I'm assuming bahamut starts off in the north when I say this: Tank pulls and we start in the center, he pulls back to north on the flatten. (Basically right before salt shakers go out. I lose zero gcd.) On the gigaflare he runs south, and dps hit the add that's right there. Movement skills back to bahamut. On the rage he moves back to north and dps hit the add that's right there. For the third add though we just run over to it and lose a melee gcd or two. (Although if everything went timed correctly, I'm casting futon on my way to him.)

Felt like it helped us a lot when we were trying to eek out extra dps while trying to beat it.

In case it wasn't already clear, Final Coil changes for 2.55 were posted on the official forums by a community rep, same kinds of changes that were done for Binding and Second Coils when they became unrestricted:

-It will be added to Duty Finder.
-There will be no recording of clears so you can do each turn as many times as you want.
-There will be no order required so you can do them in any order.

Thanks! Good timing. I am getting so sick of FCoB lol. We get the shittiest drops, at least now my group can farm the items we need and be done!

I'm assuming because they're doing it "early" this time (as in not doing at the same time as new content comes in, not early as in length of time) that poetics will still be capped.

[Dammerung]

I thought the intention was to let everyone gear up at i130 to prepare for expansion. If they don't uncap poetics as well that seems a bit odd, or they might wait a month for another patch to entice people to attempt to farm unrestricted i130 from coil?

[Ramset]

I don't see any reason why they would leave poetics capped when FCoB is unlocked. Doesn't make any sense. If you can beat Coil you'll already be getting i130 gear guaranteed, why not allow buying i120. Are there even any poetics crafting items? I thought it was only gear.

[Kipling]

It doesn't make any sense, but because they have yet to comment on it it makes me unsure.

[Jem]

Well the sense would be that not everyone can spam FCOB to get full 130 whereas everyone can spam Poetics.

Granted I still expect them to fully unlock Poetics too but it at least makes some sense if they intended to split them up.

[Taint]

It doesn't say anything about the loot lockout. Hopefully it is abolished as well.

[Enygma55]

Coil never had a loot lockout. Only an entry lock out.

Its still 3 mo away from 3.0

I dont think its necessary to unlock poetics given that much time to gear up. Not that I care either way. I'm too lazy to cap now weekly as is.

[Taint]

Coil never had a loot lockout. Only an entry lock out.

I did T13 multiple times last week, was locked out from lotting on each clear besides the first. Pretty sure that's a form of loot lockout

[Enygma55]

Oh that lockout for helping. Yea that should be gone with DF.

[venus eros]

Made it to phase 4 in t13. Didn't make it past the first tempest wing. Any tips for healing people through this phase.

Also, phase 3 healing. After divebombs and splash damage, are people aoe healing or spot healing for people targeted to stack.

[Niiro]

Megaflare is still megaflare, everyone but the tanks is getting hit by something, a medica II after the stack hit goes off should be fine.

There's not really any need for people to get topped off immediately, other than the tanks (who don't take damage from Mega) the party shouldn't be taking any more damage until the Sins pop and ideally only 1 Evil Eye goes off.

Same goes for the second set of adds, only damage the party should be taking is from Evil Eye.

[Taint]

Is there even a good way to explain T11 tethers using the ingame chat?
