You should be getting some i90 pieces with your myth tomes, and supplementing your gear progression with some of the better Ballad pieces from Crystal Tower. If you're feeling daring you could even try your luck getting the i90 aiming ring from Garuda EM. An easier goal could be Ultima HM too who drops i80 chokers and rings for each role. For now, ignore the secondary stats and just focus on getting that primary stat of Dex up. These options should be more than enough to get you comfortably geared for Coil, compared to pre-2.1 where full DL was pretty much our only options, and 3 weeks of Myth went into our dumb weapons.

I already have the BRD+1 pants actually (and boy do I look ridiculous in those... or FABULOUS! Depends on the opinion). Someone in my FC told me to get, in that order, the BRD+1 legs, body, hand, ring and then hat. I'd like to get the Ballad hands from CT as well, since I believe it's the only piece which improve the Critical stat.
I guess you are right. The thing is that I don't know if I should spend my mythos right away, or buy some stuff for my Scholar instead (I don't really know if I should gear both of them evenly of focus more on one).
As for Coil, T1 and T2 aren't a problem, though I'd like to know: what ilvl to you advise me to reach in order to try T4 without being a hindrance to my party?

BRD so fab, they're superfly.
You get a piece once a week so it's really no huge investment in grabbing whatever you can find at the moment. You could even get the Ballad shirt if you want to save yourself the 825 myth or whatever and use that (plus a little extra from a new week) to fill out 2 other myth slots. Really, any route of progression should be okay as your ultimate goal is full i90 for the primary stat weighting more than anything else. I haven't really done any gearing up for my BRD but I the advice from your FC dude seems ok. I don't really do much gearing on my BRD so I can't say for sure.
It really depends on you I guess? With CT, it's totally possible to have 2 Coil ready jobs in a combination of myth and CT gear. If you're in a static that wants you to do a specific role it might be wiser to invest in that job first.
Beats me. For T4-T5 you obviously want to hit accuracy cap of 472~ as a starting goal. Other than that I don't know.

That got passed off to an alt.
Gratz, 1st book now fists, you guyz are on fire!
Book also passed off to an alt. BLM doesn't have a shield to use with his weapon so it's not even being used either. Twin confirmed for shit loot every week.

They don't see the turn 2 strategy as an expliot.

That's fine, but man is it lazy and boring to do. :/

It might not be a exploit, but makes T2 really boring. They should make it that once Enraged, ADS AoE does 1k more damage every 20 seconds or something. Well not that I really care since ppl seems to have so many problems in that fight when done normally...

I have no idea why people find rot (and turn 2 in general) so difficult.
My coil group doesn't even use mumble and we had no problem whatsoever.

They also didn't see grinding the Dark Devices insta spawning mobs as an exploit but then they changed that too.

I'm not surprised, if they wanted to "fix" it they would've done it a month ago.

because of griefing I think
This: ADS would only need a number change in the code so it one shots during Enrage. If they wanted to fix it they can do this during a normal server maintenance..

The response to that response is beginning to remind of the people in Dark Souls that whine about "honor" 24/7...
ADS doesn't bother me, I don't use the strat, but again I don't run without my FC through coil. At least they aren't pulling an XI where weird strategies are being pulled down as exploitive immediately. Whatever, the only outcome will probably be that 2.2 coil instances will probably just have hard enrages from now on.
Gratz, 1st book now fists, you guyz are on fire!
Thanks, thats from our third kill, second kill was caster neck and BLM weapon that went to Odoru.
Think so far it has been 3 items to main jobs, 3 items to alt jobs... damn you twin D:
Also those bard pants put me at 502 acc D:
Not just post-45! There's escort leves to exploit all the way up.
I also think Mira was doing that particular leve at like 33 or something.

No glitch. They're just safe to do at any level, and many of them take less than 30 seconds to do. The boosted leve exp makes them worthwhile now.
Yes. Did it from level 15 to 34 on my white mage~
My FC did it once to try it.
It feels grimy as fuck, I agree.
Like the entire time we were just expecting it to hit and when it did it was like... that's it? Really? Just hit it till it dies?
qualification,
it was ONE GAF elitist group.
I know lots of people on GAF are not elitists and are actually pretty nice people.

And Turn 2 isn't even difficult!
Your guys' group is gifted. I've been following your progress and it's really impressively rapid.
My FC drags whoever the fuck is on to Twin and beyond.
We had one cohesive group of EU/US bros but then split, now both are in the habit of shitting on eachother. EU can't get on a reasonable timeframe, US is too fat to care.
Still, it's all in good fun, but with the power of the two groups combined, we still can't afford a house.
Meanwhile the AUS players are all dying to divebombs

Same goes for you.
It's cool, random pug in PF carried me ^_^

I actively dislike all the "carry" bullshit in the ultros FC. I never want a carry. Just want a bunch of like minded people to kill stuff with but most runs I have ever seen offered up was positioned as a carry by our well geared overlords. Get over yourselves.
grats
I get carried through Twin every week as the MT by my healers~
Feels good man, who needs cooldowns? It's a crutch, I'm too busy sleeping.
This isn't a mindset held by a majority of the members, only a handful. I do agree though that people who think they're better than everyone else and that some people aren't worth their time are kind of jerks.
Details? Can't recall the last time anyone in the FC offered up a Titan carry, at least not after 2.1.
