    Don't do it. Stop punishing yourself.

    I just wanted to add some input on the new update. I love the new Sortie bosses so far! They are challenging and encourage players to try different strategies and party compositions. You love to see it!

    I am glad to see everyone struggling to adjust to being in danger if they are near the mob, and unable to simply spam Savage Blade till it dies.

    Please do something about all the Saphires and nq earrings in my inventory. Any exchange for more Galli would be appreciated if you aren't planning to use them in the future for something else.

    I like Sortie, but for me it's slow going. I'm a SMN main. Every time I go in, I basically run around and nab all the easy objectives and then kill stuff with trusts til the time runs out I can't do any of the other stuff like "kill 6 mobs with magic only" (because I need Trust and it would take forever even if I didn't) or the ones that require you to burst down mobs really fast, because without a GEO that's really just not possible (I have GEO as well, but minimal job points / no master level). So I don't get a lot of galliwhatever. I haven't even tried the bosses, because they aren't strictly speaking necessary, if I'm being honest with you. The people I know all have groups already and nobody I don't know seems to want a SMN. So I' do it solo. Thanks in part to the free stuff they gave us I've gotten what I want to +2, but apparently we're going to need to do sortie for the new special weapon line. So not sure if I'm going to bother with that. I still need to finish grinding the Omen farm floor for detritus to finish my relic augmentation.

    Then go a different job? It's slow going regardless, but I wouldn't farm it solo on SMN.

    It's the only job I've got that can do current content. And the only job I currently want empy+2 on. And you need the job you want the gear for.

    I just really don't like these objectives that depend on high DPS because there are comparatively few ways to do them and you probably won't do them solo as trusts are becoming increasingly poor at anything other than mere survival.
