A new ot? Nice.

Yesterday I wrote that Sastasha is quite hard. Well, after running out of time with my first random group, I tried again with other randoms and we cleared it in about 15-20 minutes with zero problems.
 
New dungeons seem like they might be a tad tedious with pugs but pretty straightforward with people you trust.

The music in Qarn and Sastasha are pretty great

The screenshot says they were pretty much against the enrage timer.
It's not that there's no gear check, it's that they can't tune it to the skill ceiling. T9 was downed in i90 gear.

Time to do some character updates. Post of a picture of your toon while you wait for DF.

I finished the Hildibrand storyline today and it was as enjoyable as expected. Thank you to Darkness Tear for helping us through the Ultros/Typhon fight! As well as Naoki and all the other FC members involved. It was a lot of fun, and the music was an especially nice touch.

Next on my agenda is Shiva hard mode so I may have to ask the FC for help with that. Then finish up the story and finally beg for help with the Mog and Leviathan EX fights so I can then do Ramuh EX and finally Shiva EX. Lot of catching up to do...
 
I'm finally caught up with 2.4 story missions.
So glad they're going back to the Garlean Empire. I was wondering when/if they would introduce the Emperor.
 
Surprised there hasn't been any hardcore gear check gatekeep in Final Coil.

Make it too much of a gear check and no one except the high end guilds will be able to clear it in any reasonable amount of time. If the only kill on t12 so far has people in said group saying "we had 1sec left on enrage" then I'd say it's about on par(maybe a little harder) with t8 as far as how much of a gear check it is.
 
All you need is a wall of shame:

The Wall of Shame traditionally shows the top 10 posters, or at most the Top 15. You somehow managed to conveniently show the 16th poster in this pic.

Final Coil getting wrecked. What happened, Mr. D?

Well they monitor the amount of player population clearing content constantly and were I a gambling kitty, I would guess that maybe they told GoD to tone the difficulty back a bit. And, well, it's notoriously hard to balance difficulty in this sort of thing. Oh well.

I bet T13 is still going to be a brick wall.

So I'm still in i90 gear and some i100.

Best way to catch up so I can do content as a PLD?

I'm addicted to Destiny D:

There's barely any crit on this new poetics gear :-(. I hate this game for not having any options. What are we supposed to do if we don't like the stats on this new stuff?

Run Coil to get gear that may or may not be itemized better(if you're a summoner then lol). No single set is meant to be perfectly itemized and if one was then what would be the point in having 2 sets that are the same ilvl?

There are other options when it comes to gearing, it's just most look at the raid option as being nonexistent because they don't have the time or just don't want to bother trying.

We got 4 main weapons and 1 alt weapon so far:

SMN Book
SCH Book x2
HA Blade
HA Crook

We got T9 on farm, no fluke anymore.
 
What's the other set?

Upgraded poetics gear? There's 2 ilvl 130 sets between Allagan and Poetics. There will be new CT gear also in 3 months for the 2nd ilvl 120 set also. Unupgraded Poetics gear isn't meant to be the end all be all when it comes to gearing up, that's why there's Allagan and items to upgrade tome gear.

You're not going to get perfect itemization just through tome gear, there's no reason for it either since outside of raiding you don't need even remotely decent itemization to clear the content at a decent pace. For raiders you are meant to split the pieces you get between the 2 though, because you will likely not hit your acc cap with just one set and you will be gimped when it comes to what you can do due to poor itemization.

Man, PF today was absolutely full of Fate Farms.

How the heck am I supposed to get Shiva or T9 tackled when everybody is rushing to level Ninja. D:
