[Dev] Delve Updates, Holding Times & Bosses
Groups can't outright ignore fight mechanics for many of these NMs. In fact, use of the mechanics leads to easier and more efficient wins. Just because the goal is still to deal lots of damage in the shortest window possible doesn't make it a total zerg.

which fights are you referring to.
'Fight mechanics' may be too generous of a word, actually. Probably better described as fight gimmicks. But the craklaw, chapuli, crab, and adamantoise are some examples.
Lakshmi.Feint said: » I actually don't see the jobs you listed under low man content when it comes to NNI, Salvage or meebles often. Abyssea yeah. Maybe I spoke a little too soon but it does seem at times that certain jobs just aren't popular in endgame content. I think SE did a decent job in trying to include multiple jobs in VW, but the content itself was kind of meh (WS spam and getting procs wasn't exactly difficult). With delve, it just seems like a zergfest again ><. People are picky about what they bring to meebles I don't even WHY (this also goes for salvage but that's beside the point) I'm aware that other jobs do work. It is just that select jobs are just preferred.
I don't know how many times I've been asked to come Sam. Horse ***! It's Support Crew WHM BRD COR Buffed DDs WAR DRK SAM MNK (Forgot to put them in there originally) Holding Team PLD Misc Guys THF (TH ***) SCH/BLM (Stun ***) Those are the A list jobs that get brought to everything. The B list alternatives / special teams are. If no other DD can be found DRG RNG If special fight mechanics require them, chosen on a per-fight basis. SMN BLM RDM (Dia III) The "not no but hell no" guys are NIN (Forgot to add earlier) BST DNC PUP RUN GEO BLU (if your really bad *** and the leader knows your bad *** you ~might~ be put in the tank party, maybe, if they have a free spot and nothing else to put there). No but seriously it's like you didn't read my post at all

No love for MNK or NIN?
Geo is awesome in delve. I would never say "hell no"

Saevel just doesn't actually play with good groups which explains why his posts are generally worse than even pchan + pchan2's

Are they so bad we don't even say their names? MNK is going to curbstomp SAM/WAR/DRK for most things, and Ryu is surprisingly still a top contender

Fenrir.Sylow said: » (PUP) has seen a significant increase in power in the most recent update and is probably functional in higher content Is the Alternator really that amazing? Leviathan.Kaparu said: » MNK is going to curbstomp SAM/WAR/DRK for most things, and Ryu is surprisingly still a top contender Has that ever happened? I remember when boost boost boost was the ***. I'd take a geomancer* 100% of the time if I could, MNK is great defensively, strong damage output and at many times a safer choice.
A good ranger party is the ***, backed up by a Corsair and a Bard who just pummel NM's from long distance.

My Shell has never asked. I do have a maxed geo, I should try it out. But as we run so often I cant see how their stationary pet would be useful.
Maybe you should stop running NMs around
(notice I specifically said farming NMs)

game isn't fair, i just want some items like everyone else

Leviathan.Kaparu said: » MNK is going to curbstomp SAM/WAR/DRK for most things, and Ryu is surprisingly still a top contender Followup for the sake of not misleading anyone: while I'm having no trouble maintaining a hefty lead over Rigor-users in my linkshell, I see little to no reason to play any DD job that isn't MNK(unless you literally cannot melee something safely on any job, in which case RNG) Finally got around to bringing up MNK up to speed, and I have no intention of going back to Ryunohige so long as DRG's damage is only moderately ahead and the likelihood of dying is immensely higher That's just our perspective, though. And to be fair, people who need this type of strategical nuance explained to them were likely just locked out of any real Delve progress with this update, so eh
MNK is great but you'll probably want at least one alternate form of DD for the Delve NMs that warrant SC/MB
