Carbuncle.Maletaru said: »The dispel is conal which means with good positioning it will hit at worst 1 person, it's one of 5 TP moves they can do, and they're not even guaranteed to even use TP the entire fight.
I agree with most parts of what you say in a single primary-DD setup, but if WAR is your main DD and Debilitating Spout does go off, it will always land on him because he will likely always be 2nd on hate list. So it's likely going to be a loss regardless, unless you get lucky with SV reset and can reapply songs/rolls.
Anyways, I wasn't disputing that a single primary-DD setup can work, nor was I ignoring the context of what you suggested, but rather bridging both yours and Taint'ss comments together, who said he is using DRK+SAM for DPS (2 DDs). I actually agree that WAR is the singular job you should always bring in either case; I'd sooner swap out the SAM in his setup for a WAR and keep the DRK, but wouldn't swap out the WAR in your setup for a DRK because of all the other tools WAR adds.
We tried SAM in some of our V20 attempts, and though it does work, I think in a 2-DD approach it adds less party-useful tools than other combos (WAR+BLU, WAR+DRK, etc). You also cannot use Overwhelm at all due to conal dispel from Kalunga. When we got to V25, we never considered bringing SAM over WAR+DRK.

Agree with all you said in the prior post Buukki, that's what I was referring to earlier when I said I wouldn't take DRK SAM, I would've gone DRK WAR if given the option.
One other nitpick though: casting songs on BRD isn't very difficult for a few reasons. IMO BRD should have their back against a wall so they won't be knocked back, also with the RD/WC/RD, BRD should have NiTro up at the time (if at all) you get dispelled. This is especially true sub-40 when WC has either already been used, or will be used soon. This makes getting replacement songs up VERY easy and quick.
You do lose the SV and CC, unless you got a good WC, but still... IMO (I think you agree) it's WAR > DRK > SAM

I was using Prime5 GKT which wrecks him. Damage really isn’t our issue hate is.
I can try Farsha WAR. Sakpata is really nice from a def standpoint.
Great tips ty!

SAM damage isn't bad at all, my biggest issue with it is that it spams TP on the boss and also the best TP gear (and even the second- and third-best TP gear) has not great meva. Getting terrorized for 20 seconds right at the beginning of the fetter window is...not what you want your DD to be doing. Plus all the other crap that can disable or murder you which involves magic

Does anyone know if Schah has been soloed yet at this point? As far as I know it's the only NM left in an Aeonic cycle that hasn't been soloed with trusts yet, but I may be missing a JP video or something. It would be kinda cool knowing an entire Aeonic could be soloed with trusts lol.

My group was WAR+BLU, the combination we favoured for anything slashing really.
We also had enmity issues with Kalunga, Eventually WAR(myself) would cap enmity, so I had come up with a solution. We implemented it and won first try.
Oh sorry, nope Dirge was not enough, eventually would cap enmity regardless. Our defeats were never due to actual deaths caused by fire/magic damage. We replaced Fire Carol II specifically only on WAR with a SV Ballad III, ran entrust refresh from lobby, and I drank Kitron juices when I could remember, more so when entrust bubble was gone. The result was completely maximizing enmity reduction from full time Schere earring for the whole fight. My mp refresh was like 25-30/tic if I recall. Otherwise my schere earring reduction was pretty much negligible with only viles/devotion, mp would be gone most of the fight resulting in hardly any additional enmity reduction. SV ballad III resolved that issue, entrust refresh and juices were just extra really.
Edit: If I recall songs for everyone were HM,Minuet,Minuet,Dirge,Carol II, Sirvente for PLD obviously and then yeah as mentioned for WAR Ballad III instead of Carol II
And perhaps calling the fight "easy" was incorrect by me. We tried several different approaches and failed many times. However consistently, enmity cap seemed to be our biggest enemy and always resulted in our failure regardless of composition. This change resolved that issue for us and resulted in a win on our first try with it implemented.

Pup should be able to do it, you can put the tank pet on Schah and all the adds will automatically come to you so you can take them out as you choose.

I tried on RDM and you can Sabo sleep Schah himself and he's harmless for as long as you want, you can crowd control all of the adds etc.
But killing the adds + Schah fast enough in the 30 minute timer seems rough. I know pup + geo can duo, but Idris frailty is kinda big. Was wondering if it's already been done solo or if someone has a video. I definitely don't wanna spend too much gil on trying it lol.

Cool, didn't know you could sleep Schah that's funny. I agree though, with only trust buffs it would be a slog.

So you can actually land Bind, Gravity and Sleep 2 on Schah after a few Immunobreaks, I do not have an accurate number of how many immunobreaks it takes for Schah himself (after 1 immunobreak I stymie'd due to panic of adds spawning since I tried sleep last), but for Bhata, Ratha and Ashva you can Sleep 2 after 1 immunobreak; Gaja was super resistant to almost all, not even immunobreaks, just straight resists. (Adds were without Sabo)

It's just a bug. Feel free to report it on the OF. TIL the SE dev team has an onlyfans
There is an OnlyFlans room. It's located in Sortie E zone, right before the Aminon port up.

Back in the day, if you checked your crafting skills really quickly after zoning, you could sometimes see your chocobo digging skill.
Does that still work / is there an addon to just send that query to the server and get the result? Or is it entirely opaque at this point?

For fishing ranking, what's the meaning of size/weight? Is it some combination of the two?

If she said both, then it's both. They add both numbers together.

I'll never understand incognito unless you're on a family computer. Then I'll ask, why are you doing it on the family computer?

You're fed ads on social media and other websites based on your viewing history. Sometimes it's ultra annoying seeing ads for Wayfair.com because I quickly wanted to look up if they had string lights, now im seeing them all over FFXIAH. Incognito mode doesn't record your viewing history so ads won't be focused on what you've been looking up. All I needed was a law aerator from Home Deptot, I don't need Instagram offering me power tools at the local hardware store.
I might want to surprise my wife with a nice gift from ThingsRemembered. I wouldn't want her seeing exactly the item I was planning on getting her on the familiy computer (she doesn't use it, but example given)
