Arch Dynamis lords difficultly.

you are acting like embrava is decisive, it's not. What makes you win is perfect defense. Haste dispel or not is not going to change anything. If anything, as 7th I would use a second SMN because this would allow a second stun to use in case the first clone is the wrong one. And sa bonus you can pop one more per run.

Let's assume that you are correct about a second shock squall being worth more than embrava. How exactly do you plan on safely getting the SMN close enough to shock squall at exactly the right moment? You do realize ADL's oblivion smash, violent rupture, transfusion, dynamic implosion, and tera slash all have a range of 30', yes? I'm not saying it's impossible for a SMN to find the right moment to charge in and use shock squall, but even a really good player would probably fail more frequently than they would succeed.

So no, embrava is more useful than a dead SMN. And again, I'm not talking about your strategy. You're using monks... monks don't exactly make the best use of TP when compared to other DDs. So for you? Yeah, go ahead and screw embrava. For my group, it's awesome.
