Your gear looks fine- I honestly have no idea how you're not managing to kill them on Normal, particularly while the Trust campaign is active.



Which trusts are you using?

Rahal doesn't seem like he's doing much there except giving you an initial provoke. You're probably better off replacing him with seltheus or something.

You can get rid of the added effect dmg for most of the battlefields as rdm, which one are you trying to do in particular?

I only have the information from the JP wiki, don't check the english one's much, hehe.

You have to do one of following 4 things when the enemy's in the middle of a WS: WS, ability, magic, or pet command. Every time they astral flow it gets reset so you'll have to proc them again. Which one it is depends on which avatar you're fighting so if you tell me which you're trying to fight I can be more specific.

Amchuchu would do a lot better if you have him; even if he loses hate, he'll still provide some defensive benefit.

I am not 100% sure, but I think the procs is just based on the avatars action vs your own action, like, if garuda is casting a spell, then a quick dia or something on her will cause a proc, and I know ive managed to proc her Whispering Wind by use of provoke (I normally do it as pld).

Same goes for steps, procs them too.

I do them on BLU with MG with a similar setup and have almost 0 problems on Normal beside the occasianly fail hickup.

I also would recommend Amchu over Rahal and Sel over Ulmia.

Edit: oh and i face pretty much every tpattack/nuke in PDT/MDT Turtle gear.

Each proc seems to have the same effect, you just 3 per Astral flow. JA proc, magic proc, ws proc. There's an add on or plug in for windower that will make you use echoes automatically, aecho.

I suggest trying brygid, she's invulnerable and gives you a defense and magic defense aura. And perhaps a 2nd tank with august and amchuchu but maybe that's overkill
