What beastman is it? I didn't play July until march and often take breaks this long and longer. Could have missed it for years.

8/8 Sortie. Frequently also in Ambuscades. It's also one of the best choices for dynamis D (but in this case it would spend most of the time in empy+3 nuking, but would melee bosses). Not sure how you define content that matters then?
Not sure if you edited this or I missed it in haste. I'd like to know BLU can do 8/8 bosses, but without Tizona? Probably not.

Ambu even this month BLU is dogshit for speed despite the Entomb strat people discuss. BLU is a toy people like to pull out, but not really ever needed for any Ambu I can think of.

Dyna D, not sure what you are referring to. It's content you need to clear once, and isn't particularly hard now with a few people using a variety of jobs. Farming is better with THF for obvious reasons, but that's not really content I consider when selecting what jobs to gear. Once and done for me.

Blu could take tank slot for 9 boss runs. It has all the tools needed and has some pros and cons compared to pld / run.

I'm always multitasking. Shitting or at work. See, I make good use of my time.

Have to laugh at all the fake accounts being made to try and shitpost and +1 shitposts. You're losing pretty hard here.

I wish it was true that THF increased drops but I'm doubtful.

FWIW, it's undeniable that TH increases drops in Incursion, which has an identical drop model [the server decides what you get, then every person has it distributed to them]. Wouldn't say it's too much of a stretch to think that TH works in Sortie, but it hasn't been proven to my knowledge.

Just to add to this, our GEO uses Dia with TH+4 gear during our Sortie runs. We can't really quantify it's usefulness, but it doesn't hurt our performance because we do 8-boss using Magic Strat). The only data point I can sure with 100% certainy is that we have seen 3 Old Case +1's in a single at 5 times.

Stun from /DRK lands on most of the bosses and all of the minis. You can pretty much stunlock C/G with Leg Sweep and it wouldn't get any moves off. In such a case, Sudden Lunge should be just as effective for a few bosses. I could see a very good BLU tanking the 9-boss run; PLD doesn't really do anything unique besides spike hate, kite, and heal.

This account has existed for nearly 20 years bud. But feel free to feel like people care enough to create sock accounts

9boss or tanking aside, Pasi said something about using SAM as sole DD with SMN stunner for 8 boss a while ago. You think this would work with BLU instead of SMN for F? E+G are too easy to matter, H with RDM proccing is fine too.
