Does anyone have experience with small sized groups(4 players each with a whm alt) in dynamis. My group is finishing it's last empy weapon and we're moving on to relics(or 2nd relics), most of us haven't really touched dynamis since the updates save a few duos when we were bored.
From what i see the ja procs mobs are overly camped. How viable are the magic proc mobs, with 5 characters spamming dia compared to us splitting up and each trying to proc our own mob as dnc\ or thf\dnc?
Magic sucks. If you have that many people, kill the higher level (DC) JA mobs.
Your typical solo perle Bst won't be messing with those, and they account for the vast majority of Dynamis congestion.
With 4 players each with a whm alt, I'd probably set up as two sets of thf/dnc (or dnc/thf) + DD/dnc + whm. Two DDs can tear through DC mobs pretty quickly if they're well geared and aggressive, and two /dnc (or dnc main) can usually get a JA proc pretty fast.
3 is about the most people I'd put on a single mob as a balance between proc efficiency and kill speed, but with 4 you can split into two sets. That also helps in areas with fewer mobs of each type, such as Tavnazia. Too many people in one area and you spend more time waiting on repops than killing. Splitting keeps you from overcamping your own mobs.
And as GG said, magic proc rates suck. Not worth the effort. WS proc rates actually aren't that bad, but of course you're limited in how many you can attempt on a given mob.
