Physick on SMN

I feel like you're under stating just how much more popular than mch smn is lol. It's more popular than quite a few jobs actually.

Probably lol. I'm lowballing it to be safe since I don't have access to fflogs atm and fflogs doesn't keep total upload data past two weeks. Softballing it I'd say it goes:
Bard>Dragoon>Ninja>Summoner>Monk>Red Mage>Samurai>Machinist>Black Mage. Feel free to correct though.

Kind of depends on the which fight, unless you want to say all of savage together+ ult. Currently in UwU it is tied with ninja at 490 for most popular dps.

Lumping all savage parses of all floors past 2 weeks, your estimate was close though. Rdm is ahead of monk though, and surprisingly blm has surpassed mch. Looking at individual fights, it can shift slightly.

The difference between 4th most played and 5th is pretty large.

I generally talk over the whole tier of savage. Ultimate is a bit different, due to its low amount of clears, there isn't enough population to get a fair or accurate read of a job's general popularity like there is with savage.

That said...I can't say I'm all that surprised. As a RDM currently on TitUlt enrage, I certainly see a ton of areas where SMN's ability to cast while moving with minimal drop in potency while pet+dots smack the boss would be ridiculously helpful.

Hm...I admit, I was banking on Monk's popularity for the triple melee comp to edge it out over RDM for the whole tier, as trip melee is really popular for the first two fights afaik. I'm a bit afraid to ask what the dropoff is between 4th and 5th place though lol

I know that feel. Currently on titan as blm, and slide casting all the puddles and double landslide is pretty tight.

Geeze, I can only imagine how painful that is. At least for me once I get a slidecast off I have ~2 seconds to get into a safe place for my next cast. Right now my group is optimizing Titan Ultimate; one of the things we're considering is having all the ranged stand as far from Titan as possible; if you're far enough away from Titan, you won't get hit by either landslide without even needing to move because of the way landslides spread.

That's a bit off-topic for here, though. I'd love to compare strats and what we do on Discord or something! My tag is in my sig.
