Why dont you use RAID FINDER?

You might end up with stacked jobs that kills/makes it harder to do the Tank LB3 strat which is a widely accepted strat right now on NA/EU for Byakko.

Party comp was one of the reasons barely anyone used it for Zurvan EX either. (Most popular party comp for Zurvan EX was 1 tank in NA/EU, RF forces 2)

Matched parties doing RF:Practice ignore LB gauge penalties, and selecting RF:Completion forces a party compositon that doesn't get a penalty.

RF Practice ignores LB gauge penalties and RF Completion forces a party compositon that doesn't get a penalty.

Humm I didn’t know this, thks for that. If this is true I suspect many of us are not aware of this info. Thks

Still forces 2 tanks which was a no no for Zurvan EX.


Actually says 1 player per job

Party Composition
When queueing solo or with less than a full party, the Raid finder will match together 2 tanks, 2 healers, 1 ranged physical DPS, 1 ranged magical DPS, 1 melee DPS, and 1 other DPS. The fourth, unspecified DPS class or job to be matched will depend on the settings selected when registering for a raid.

When selecting Duty Completion
The unspecified DPS player cannot be the same class or job as other players to be matched together in a party.

When selecting Practice
The unspecified DPS player can be the same class or job as other players to be matched together in a party.

Patch notes talks about the "unspecified/other DPS".


This one doesn't for some reason.

I do remember them talking about waiving the LB penalty but can't seem to find anything on it specifically about RF.

max. 1 when practise is selected.

I have a recorded RF queue practice Shinryu EX on patch day, our party comp was 2 paladins 2 dragoons 2 red mages and the queued group (us) was SCH & AST. Dunno if it affected the LB bar though we were too busy getting hit by everything.

And there is not a single person over 6 pages of this thread who seems to know this.

That's cause no one uses it in NA/EU, lol. Only time it was really good was Sophia EX and maybe the first 2 hours of a new patch day when no one has any idea what they are doing/no parties. I feel like Cross server PF killed it for most people. There are usually parties all the time after the "gotta do the story" dead period wears off.

You don't get stacked jobs when clearing is selected and max. 1 when practise is selected.

Raidfinder and Dutyfinder are working different.

While I'm aware of the differences, they merging the two into the same window has blurred the line and it's easy to see why people don't consider them different entities.
