Good to hear this isn't an exploit.
Guess we can put it down to "Interesting use of game mechanics".

I've run this dungeon twice with PUGs and both times we managed to finish under 20 minutes. As long as MNK is fast on the tab-targetting and keeps buffs up, single target damage brings down targets fast enough to not interfere with the speed of the dungeon by a lot.
My thought: Stop looking for parties with ludicrous standards.
If I get DF wp group with MNK I would instant quit . rather take a 15 min debuff and watch TV than group with MNK .
I see that this is yet another game where I'll have to stay away from elitists, the bane of modern gaming. No problem. :P
I do WP regularly with a DRG and either a SMN or a BRD. We finish between 17-18 minutes most runs.
We have a MNK in my coil group who stresses me out, and I've finally had to ask to hold back in turn 4 because he can out-threat me if he goes all out (might change when I get more i90, he's almost full i90 now himself).
Seriously... 18m WP runs can be done with any party combination. Hell did a 19m WP run last night with SCH, WHM, DRG, PLD.
I find it interesting how ignorant people are of the capability of good melee players. Its sad really.
MNK gets a bad rep in WP because it's not BLM or BRD I guess. I roll a MNK alt and I feel like they shine in AK with the right gear ....better to stay out of the WP AoE fest.
WP speedrun tiers:
10-12 minutes: God tier
12-14 minutes: Great tier
14-16 minutes: Good tier
16-18 minutes: Low tier
18-20 minutes: Bottom tier
>20 minutes: Not a SR
I don't want to waste time with people who think 18-20 minutes is a good WP SR.
