Morning

Our static is now consistently getting 7 bosses down each night. Our set up is Run,Cor,Geo,Sch,Sch,Blm.

We use the same strategy for H as we do D, but Aita seems to resist our damage dramatically. Couple of questions for people that have ran this on a mage build please.

Once the SC is done against the opposite element and blue proc staggers. Do you continue to stay in the said SC or should you be switching magic spells /sc to ensure the resistance isn’t built. Or is this wildly false (chatGTP recommended this)

Do you switch buffs to be magic accuracy focused over mab. I.e. could we simply be hitting a reduction in damage purely due to magic accuracy requirements.

Or are we missing something key here? We do not kill mini boss on route currently either.

IIRC we used warlock/monk for this and it's worth burning a bolster for. Nuke the element strong against the move it uses. Do it early in the run and WC/cut the GEO so you can use bolster again later.

Wildly false. What resistance. What are you talking about. Why are you asking GPT on advice for strategy about Aita.

Aita is a "everyone uses 1hr" fight for mage setup.

Nuke element opposite his TP move, ie he does fire move you burst water.

The SC should be one that lets you burst water, doesn't matter what it is. Sch can make distortion to allow Cor to close with wildfire -> leaden for double dark - still bursting water unless he does another TP move. Also keep doing -ja.

If he's resisting a lot means your macc is too low. Use Indi focus/geo malaise, entrust int for more macc.

I'd keep the rolls to warlock/monk to reduce TP feed. Indi focus + macc food should be enough. Will need to check your nuking sets if it's not.

Also Run should be putting up gambit/rayke for the appropriate element asap.

Ideally Run puts up 3 fire runes at the start and hope he starts off with ice to make a fusion into a double light with Cor and Run.

With Rayke up, 1hrs from everyone, and two good nukers it's a quick fight.

Thanks both. I end up using chatGTP for everything of late lol. Ok some tweaks to magic accuracy sounds the part.

We use monk + wizard
Entrust acumen
Bolster indi-int, geo-malaise

If Rd hits entrust then add focus
BLM runs in on pull and does Vido WS
Water or fire mode subtle sorcery and put burn on. You want his int as low as possible

Ok I do not have mythic, will the ws still have some benefit though?

Vido lowers magic defense on the target, doesn't matter the weapon.

Can be good to do, I would say it's probably not needed if Geo is bolstering though.

This is true if he is in lightning or water mode.
