FF 5.X Alternative Raid Buff Alignment and Openers

[HyoMinPark]

Yeah, the DNC in my group stresses so much on the fact that he cannot hold buffs (or do like ranged LB on healer gaols in Titan) because it will ruin his alignment for the entire rest of the fight cause it's just that strict of a rotation. Which just kinda tells me the OP has not put any time in most of these jobs nor has he thoroughly discussed them with people who are well versed in these jobs, otherwise he'd know things like this.

He should be able to LB the first set of gaols without really losing much. Here’s the tip from the DNC Guide for each fight this tier:

If you are Limit Breaking the first Rock Throw / Granite Gaols (Healer Jails) make sure you use Standard Step(Assuming it is available before you start LBing) then use Limit Break. If you have been using Standard Step with no drifting, you can get both steps off then Limit Break. After the LB, depending if there has been a drift or not, use Standard Finish (don't forget the 2 steps first if needed)

My group does ranged LB3 on the second jails, but there’s talk in the Balance showing Caster LB3 is better there. I know for me, I can get all my Flourished procs off before I LB, but then SF is delayed a bit. The BLM in my static offered to LB3 the second hails and I may just let him. We don’t LB2 the first ones, even though LB2 first jails > melee LB3 boss is an option.

Tl;dr - LB shenanigans in E4S are annoying. But doable.

Hmm, I didn't know that. But my group has been doing SMN LB3 on 2nd goals for awhile cause the tanks can hit the gaols a few times while the DPS remain on the boss and the LB will break the gaols.
