[Be warned this is an advance guide on how to tank Coil of Bahamaut 1st boss, and will not cover the basic mechanics of the boss itself]

Introduction:

Hi this is Rexcale again brining you guys another guide on how to tank like a Baus. First of all, thanks guys and sexy ladies for the positive comments on my guide and glad I can help other new tanks to improve and get better on their end-game content. Well after getting the feel outta way, Lets get started on how to tank Coil Boss 1 Like a Baus.

Since I play the role as an Off-Tank for my CoB team, this guide will be covering how to handle your shit together in an off-tank perspective. To be honest main tanking this boss is fairly easy lol *joking* but off-tank must be abit more cautious of what to do since we have several phases which I will be covering right down below:

[Phase 1] â€" Stand On Your Ground

Before the fight begins here is where you want to stand:

*Black dot represent the off tank where you want to stand*

*From your perspective*


The reason why you want to stand here is so that you can reach to any tiles whenever it glows to spawn the dirty ass slug. If you look back at the mini map on the top, you can see the pattern. There are three different patterns on how the tiles will lit up. If you were to stand on the blue tiles then reaching the darker blue tiles will be a pain since you have to run up. However if you were to stand on the darker blue tiles as shown on the map, all you have to do is just fall down and right straight to the tiles that are glowing, with ease since the darker blue tiles are higher than the rest of the tiles IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU RUN BACK UP TO YOUR ORIGINAL POSITION AFTER FEEDING THE SLUGS TO THE SNAKE. 

[Phase 2] - Taking Your Slug For A Walk In The Park

This phase is fairly simple what you want to do is step on to the glowing tile on time

[Macro:]

Hi, I am Rexcale Chewy. A level 50 Paladin known for being the most handsome tank in FC *winks at Mion*. But this guide isn’t about how to become as sexy as me but how to tank this fat rock granny A.K.A. Titan like a BOSS so lets lets go.

Macro:

Before tanking this muthafuking Titan we need to prepare ourselves with some elite macros to make tanking as easy as possible. Why? Because we as tanks are fuking lazy and we like to boast how hard it is to play as a tank when all we do is spam one key and let the others do the rest.


1)       “Going Wild” â€" Pure offensive utility
          /macroicon "Bloodbath"
          /ac "Bloodbath" <me>
          /ac "Fight or Flight" <me>
          *This allows you to use two offensive utilities in one button for greater dps and extra heal*


2)   â€œ    Urber Defense” â€" Pure defense utility
           /macroicon "Convalescence"
           /ac "Convalescence" <me>
           /ac "Foresight" <me>
           /ac "Awareness" <me>
*This spell not only allows you to increase defense but also increase healing effect and reduce critical*


Now you that you have your elite macros I can finally start talking about how to tank this fat a$$hole titan so lets go lets go

Starting Phase:
Mion said: “Omg why so many tanks cannot hold titan agro at the start.”
Handsome Rexcale said: “Because they are not as handsome as me of course:

Of course being handsome has its perk but for those who are not as handsome as me don’t worry Rexcale is here to teach you how to instant get over 9000 hate


[Skill order]
(Shield lob)- ->(Provoke)- ->(Flash)- ->(Circle of Scorn)- ->(Spirits Within)

*By using all your instant cast you can create a lot of hate in a short period of time*

Mion said “Why use flash?”
Handsome Rexcale said “Because you wana flash your sexy Abs to everyone.”

*But seriously flash can give you a chance to dodge titan attacks so noob healers can heal your hp in time*



Phase 1:

[Offensive Utility - Going Wild] = Use once

[Defense Utility - Rampart] = None

[Tanking position]



*Black Dot = Tank, Red Dot = Titan*
                                                                                                                 
Phase 1 is fairly easy for tanks just tank and spank, chill out eat dinner or watch a movie until phase 1 is over
[/size][/font]

Phase 2:

*Important* When each phase is over and the titan falls back down ALWAYS ALWAYS USE THIS SKILL ORDER TO GET BACK AGGRO. DO NOT EVER USE PROVOKE AGAIN unless it is the next phase for you to get back aggro once titan jumps and falls back. This is to ensure your hate is always at the top


[Skill order]

(Shield lob)- ->(Provoke)


[Offensive Utility - Going Wild] = Use None

[Defense Utility - Rampart] = Use Once


[Tanking position]



Phase 2 is same as phase 1, fairly easy for tanks just tank and spank, chill out eat dinner or watch a movie until phase 2 is over
