Bard - Foe Requiem Song - any recent changes?

[Jyoeru]

So the question I have is when do we use it? With a long cast time, and toxic mana drain, do we need to precast then drop then recast and drop when someone in the group is going to use abilities this will enhance? If I leave it on for any duration of time, my mana goes kaboom, and I have nothing left for more of this or for ballad. Just curious.

I just run it until I run OOM, especially if I use it early in the fight. Healers shouldn't be needing ballad unless someone's getting rez'd, and sometimes not even then.

Garuda extreme I've taken to running it during each of the sister phases, unless sometime during the transition I see that a healer needs MP.

4 man groups, it's not worth using at all since at most you'll have 1 magic DPS class. 8 mans, it depends on the party make-up. If you have at least 2 DPS mages, it's worth casting, but even then it depends on the fight.

Boosting a BLM or SMN's dps by 30% isn't worth it?

If you have to inject mana into your healer's veins all the time, then it isn't, no.
Otherwise it is.

Just a matter of that

You use Foe's Requiem during Burst DPS Phases like Titan Heart, Dreadnoughts, Snakes, and etc. Or you use it to finish something off for an execute or kill-shot. I would only Battle Voice Foe's Requiem if you have another bard or if the healer's MP is above 80%, since it does have a 3 minute recast time.

3 minute recast time.

5 minutes.
