BLU needs some form of buff duration enhancement. +20% attack is amazing. Having it last 90 seconds blows. Make it cost more MP if necessary, idc.

Never gonna happen but skill playing a role in duration similar to how smn buffs work would be nice.

Does anyone have a current BiS Cloudsplitter set?

What does blue skill do for Pyric Bulwark?

I'd even argue Metallic Body and Diamondhide don't really belong in the list. Both cap at 500 and BLU already gets 460 at 99. With ML 40 you're capped without any +skill gear and even if you were ML0, a 100% blue skill focused midcast set would most likely overshoot the 40 extra points by far. ML7 isn't too much to ask and at that point you can cast with Hashishin Tayt +3 to cap metallic body and equip fast recast in the rest of the slots.

It's so disappointing that BLU has to carry a full set just for 2 spells while other mages respective skills affect most of their tool set.

8 boss could work.

Song bonuses are massive and there's no replacement for Aria, but from a buff perspective, it's attack speed, attack and accuracy. I'm sure there's probably a way to do melee setup with a GEO entrusting Haste instead, but it's not optimal. You'd probably struggle to cap attack without a Minuet somewhere (unless you bolster), but you wouldn't have Aria to take more advantage of it. Doesn't mean it can't be done either. I have brought two sub optimal DD jobs to sortie PUGs (NIN and BST) and we still cleared 8, but it was more effort required than using better DD.

Bard and Corsair are pretty much "irreplaceable" in ideal melee setups. You can work around it if you're good enough as a player or group, but if you're that good enough to be well geared and skilled at other jobs, chances are someone will have Bard or Corsair built anyways, so it's a meaningless adventure just for the sake of proving it can be done.

Where's your data bro.

There's no viable melee setup without brd. It is what it is.

There's blitzer's roll, which is mostly a net loss in virtually every scenario I can think of. And it's not magical haste anyways.

I mean I said it in as many words that the comp was not good, but was trying to give suggestions based on what they were using. Not advocating for it, just offering advice based on what they have. Even still, my suggestions are probably going to be ignored. It's not like the SMN is Papesse or Pergatory, and I doubt the SCH+RDM have the requisite gear to even run a magical bursting setup without GEO and RUN.

Working on PLD, have 2 HELMS to finish Aeonic Shield.

Just curious, what jobs do you have available for endgame content?

unorthodox setups are always neat but yeah, no brd is usually a hefty loss, could probably swap the THF for brd and improve the DPS of everyone more than the loss of a "dedicated" DD job, or just swapping the THF to a more offensive burst DD (SAM or WAR, though DRG or DRK can also work)

Me looking at a group doing stuff without a bard:

Dog goodness

among those only skill effects magic barrier, diamondhide, occulation, and metallic body. If skill is doing anything for plasma charge/reactor cool id guess its effecting the accuracy of the spikes

Standard response to any Eiryl post fyi

I don't know what you're talking about, but the Marid version of Barrier Tusk is different than the blue magic version. The BLU spell just gives base phalanx effect and phalanx+ gear doesn't work on it. Blue Magic Skill doesn't affect it either. JP wiki lists all of these details.

You've mentioned MBing, so you may be able to go full out on a nuking strategy, as it can be easier to tackle bosses. Triboulex you might time out on and eat Setting the Stage. Still, with your setup, if you all practice, you could do a 4-step SC (Immananence: Liquefaction > Fusion > ClimacticFlourish + Shark Bite) and have the SCH+RDM nuke fire, and the SMN can do Flaming Crush MB. I still think THF is the sitting duck in this particular setup, but if you all are stuck with that particular job comp, I would try to create nonstop Fusion/Light Skillchains and have the mages contribute damage with Fire MB. The THF can even use Naegling/Kaja Sword instead of a dagger to force a stronger stacked WS in (Sneak Attack/TrickAttack +) Savage Blade. In fact, Savage Blade replaces Shark Bite in the above SC, so the THF can alternate a stacked WS with the DNC every other SC to close a big Light for more consistent damage.

As far as Impact is concerned, you can kill the Abyssea version of Shinryu and proc him for the Twilight Cloak, as it is an invaluable (and often underutilized) spell for higher level content. If that is out of reach, Fenrir has a much weaker version of Impact that varies with your summoning skill.

RNG doesn't need feet. Without hands it still slaps everyone upside the head. Dogs included.

Triboulex and Dhartok are probably the two easiest without BRD/GEO because you can land a guaranteed Distract on them.

The elk story actually renewed my hope in humanity.

The idea that predators while feels like strong and domnating.

In a long run, as long as the good can persevere the hardships.

They will be the last one standing.

The predators will fall earlier. Simly because their way of life is just not sustaintable.

This year was definitvively one of the coldest I have ever experienced at this city.

Worst than the coldest, the flutuation is insane.

We had a cold week, then a hot one, now again a pretty cold.

This variation is normally way more dangerous to cause colds and flus. RIght now Im about to have a cold due to those abrupt changes.

Yes to both, absolutely, but Cornelia also has +10 Acc, inferior but it does have some.
Furthermore there's hardly any relevant multihit WS for SAM, since we're discussing it for this job and not in general.

Thanks for the input, most of what I've read indicates Triboulex should probably be the next target. It certainly sounds a lot more straightforward. We're mostly around Empyrean+2.5 in terms of equipment level and between 10-20 ML. No REMA weapons aside from my own Twashtar and Terpsichore.

As far as roles go RDM is of course enfeebling and then healing/MBing, Scholar is primarily buffs and nukes/MB, SMN is healing mostly. I think we are getting all the important buffs/debuffs out there although maybe not Warcry and we do not have anyone able to Impact currently. SCH has a passing interest in GEO and I've got BRD almost up and running but I don't think anyone else will play either of them (or WHM) anytime soon.

Taking into account some recent frustrating attempts at other content I think we're just uncoordinated and do crap damage. Two dagger users and no GEO/BRD isn't doing us any favors admittedly but when you have the same problems doing most content then the content itself probably isn't the problem lol.
