Not looking for the ideal situation where i have full strike 6's full UC but just enough to get by without getting owned or frustrated.
If frustrated is the operative word... UC everyone you don't want to res multiple times when doing corals.
When I started I had 2 UCs (maybe 3) and I spent some time ressing when attempting corals. When I finally UC'd every melee I was able to finish corals under the 4 hour limit with no (or few) res stops.
I don't remember what level Augs I had for sure, but I would guess it was Vs and IVs, and some had none. I would suggest jumping in there and giving it a shot and seeing how your team performs. If you are not happy with where you stand... back up... finish some UCs and farm some Aug components and go after it again.
I would certainly finish all main armor from T4 so you can upgrade on the fly. Just from my point of view it's hard to get excited about the nifty new T5 bracer while wearing a T1.
