DPS Roulette Fantasic Four

Yes this actually happened in my trial roulette today. Who else out there can say that this has happened to them in a roulette?

Wonder how many of the dragoons survived :)

wow you have some great tanks/healers being able to carry those 4 dragoons.

The healers messed it up by not being the same class. Would have been hilarious to have a mono-role-job party composition. I've gone into ST before where over half the DPS were Dragoons. We were the derpgoon legion, and we burned through everything. We also took turns amongst the 14 or so of us in tanking the floor, because you know, we gotta maintain that derpgoon status.

Reminds me of my favorite WoD run.

5 Bards.

No songs.

But the real question is, did you beat Chrysalis after joining another DF group because this loldrg pt failed?

So much clash about drg. I support this. <3

There was no need. We did it without a wipe. One of the Dragoons was new so they did die, but we were so strong that there was no need to try it again.

This thread is hilarious! The dragoon comments made me lol, and I'm a dragoon. But I lost it at 5 bards, no songs. XD.

Of course one did. Always need to make sure you have a floor tank.

Well no Magic classes, mages are almost full MP, there's probably no problem with TP, Titan HP is high, i dont see why there should be a song yet, it would be a waste of damage !!

Unless one of the whm want a requiem.

*Through the entire fight.

Was it needed tho ? if yes, there obviously a real problem but if no, as you said "entire fight" it probably mean you've killed it anyway ^^.

There is never a case in which songs are necessary to complete something, that doesn't make it any less lazy to ignore part of your job.

It is not lazy if it's useless, it's neither lazy if they can output more DPS as Titan can be a real pain.

I'm quite sure that bards are going to become rather rare in this expansion...

No more luxury of worrying about Bards I'm afraid... :p Incoming complaints about Machinists not equipping their turret with MP or TP regen and leaving it on AOE dps mode for single target boss fight....

Basically whatever mode is inappropriate for the turret to be in, it will be that one, and whatever gun modification is the wrong choice, will always be the one used... It's just like the bard that starts Mage's Ballad or Army's Paeon at the beginning of every fight and when the song is actually needed, refuses to play it. :P

Turret are imune to damage :)

Unless your healers are doing some serious dps, there should be no need for Foe Requiem since it only increases magic damage (Which is funny because the tooltip says reduced elemental damage, but it doesn't increase Windbite while it does increase Ruin). While yeah, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't exactly help dps a ton either. All it does is drain the mp of your only Bard who is aware enough to use their songs.

You all do know that the Foe buff is applied to the monster so it helps the whole raid/alliance, not just your party, right?

2 Paladin, 4 bards, 2 healer wont do any magic damage (except maybe for healer if they're going to DPS).

We're just talking about the screenshot there.

And we're talking about it despit that we dont really care because we're bored. :p

I accidentally replied to the wrong poster, lol. I meant to get the guy who was in the 8-man Titan Hard.

If you look the screenshot, you can see a WHM is using Cleric Stence. So no, it is not useless to do a Foe as a brd.

Yeah I've been in a group with 3 other BLMs.

I had a fun Levi battle with a whole SMN party ^^

SO MANY GARUDAS!

It was a shame we weren't fighting Garuda.

Yeah, that would have been cool to do something like that.

Did any of the white mages think to ASK the bards "hey ima be DPSing this can I get a Foe's"

because at least one of them should have started singing at that point

As a main bard, I take a glance at the party list (in 8-man) and only automatically turn on Foe's if there's a caster. If someone asks, sure. But I'm not psychic and I don't know who'll be DPSing or not.

I'm more likely to use it by default in a 24-man raid, though.

That DRG party tho...

I bet the skyes shriveled, the rocks rumbled and the earth trembled :v

It's too bad the other healer wasn't SCH. That way you could have a full party consisting of just 2 classes.

I've gotten 4 drgs in t9 and 4 blm in t9

The tooltip for Foe is "Reduces all enemy magic resistance by 10%." The buff on you states "Using MP to lower the magic resistances of nearby enemies." The debuff on the enemies affected states "All magic resistances are reduced." Nowhere does it say "reduced elemental damage."

Also, Windbite is physical damage, not magical. That's why it's not affected by Foe Requiem. Only 5 jobs benefit from Foe Requiem; BLM, SMN, WHM, SCH and NIN. And that comment about 'serious damage' erks me. What, so if your healer is only doing 200 DPS compared to 300, you're not gonna sing to make that into 220 DPS?

It USED to say elemental damage in beta/early 2.0/2.1 area. They changed it after people figured out what it ACTUALLY did and complained about the tooltip being misleading though.
