My GEO had no problems landing dispel on Sigh. Max BRD I ran with couldn't land it too well though.
On GEO I could land frazzle, distract, paralyze, slow pretty nice (and para seemed to have an unexpected high proc rate? Maybe it was just a coincidence) and Dispel wasn't too much of an issue I guess.

On BRD I could never land Finale instead. No macc food of course, and no focus/languor either.

I have the same experience, Finale doesn't land (didn't try focus/langour for obvious reasons), but Dispel landed 100% for me without macc buffs. I haven't really worked on or looked at my Enfeebling set for GEO either, just threw AF+3 at it:

Have you not upgraded GEO feet? With that +18% movement speed!?

It's on my to do list. I multi box so having 18% doesn't help much when limited by the speed of my slowest char, which is my WHM at 12% currently. If I had the feet I'm sure they'd be in my set too

I prefer V2 over V1 as hate reset seems like an annoying and costly process, and since I recently returned to the game all what I'm doing is spamming v2 normal and pickup HQ gear as I unlock them.

It is easy for me to solo it as A MNK (tanking) with all range DPS trusts.

I also noticed that when I end up in a long fight (10 min+) the aura seems to disappear.

He's on Quetz. We don't care. We don't have long waits even with people soloing.

FYI to anyone concerned about Tonberry hate - you only have to pay the 3 gold coins the first time you complete the quest. Every subsequent hate reset will just cost 250-1000 gil at the NPC.

The waypoint warp to the temple also puts you quite close to the hate reset NPC. If you CFH in the BC and only reset once every 5-6 runs, it isn't terrible.

6000 gil on character with 0 zilart fame. Not that it is much different just adding detail.

anyone noticed a sort of hate reset move on the monarch? I have seen it use somthing that looks like the throat stab animation then it will turn to one the DDs till that DD dies and back on the tank, happend to me tanking a few times and seen on others, it's weird to because in some instances the DDs were evenly matched but it switched to 1 of them then right back to tank after they die as if it marked them for death lol.

edit: I also noticed when it did this move just the tank would lose about half HP.

Cover is a life-saver.

There are some fights where I'm pretty much tanking as a DD, so I wouldn't be surprised if a move had a hate reset of some sort. Though if I'm focusing on stacking a SC-closer on the tank it's almost always sticking to the tank, so maybe it just has enhanced decay instead of a reset.

I almost always do it on PLD. I see him reset hate or whatever's going on in most fights. Obviously, the better your DD's damage, the shorter the battle and the less times you'll see it happen.

I just re-position to Cover and work to regain hate... or pop Invincible if I'm bound or things are dicey.
