M6s in PF is the most miserable and unfun high end fight in the game

[Jeeqbit]

I hope we get some actually meaningful job buffs next week to make this less painful. It feel like some jobs are just straight up missing cleave, and burst damage to handle killing adds, and were just not tested in this fight.

I can burst nigh endlessly on BLM. In my very outdated, last-tier gear, I obliterate packs in Expert roulette in mere seconds.

Summoner bursts every summon. Even outside of Bahamut/Phoenix, it has actions like Slipstream that are strong AoE.

Red Mage can store up an awful lot of AoE bursts to do in succession. 100 Mana, + Manafication, it should wreck everything. Contre Sixt 420, Verholy/flare 650, Scorch 750, Resolution 860, Grand Impact 600.

Oh and let's not bother explaining Pictomancer. We all know Pictomancer's burst capabilities.

Viper of course can store up a whole succession of bursts of Reawaken if you include Serpent's Ire (750>480>480>480>480>1150). And Serpent's Ire itself unlocks a succession of 320>320>320>320. Not to mention its abundant ability to use Uncoiled Fury at 680 potency.

Machinist has got Chain Saw (600), Flamethrower (1000), Full Metal Field (900), Auto Crossbow+Checkmate spam, Bloblaster.

Bard has Pitch Perfect (360), Apex Arrow (600), Rain of Death spam (100), Barrage+Shadowbite (270), Blast Arrow (600), Reasonant Arrow (600), Radiant Oncore (900), all under various party buffs, Raging Strikes and Battle Voice and Radiant Finale.

Dragoon has got Wymwind Thrust (440), Dragonfire Dive (500), Geirskogul (250), Nastrond (720), Stardiver (840), Starcross (1000), Rise of the Dragon (550), with numerous buffs including Life Surge, Lance Charge and Battle Litancy.

Reaper has Plentiful Harvest (720), Communio (1100), Gluttony (520), Sacrificium (600), Perfectio (1300), Soul Scythe (180), Grim Swathe (140), Guillotine (200 or 260) again with buffs like Death's Design and Arcane Circle.

I could go on but jobs have AoE capabilities. Maybe people just don't know how to play them and coordinate their AoE burst/gauge at the relevant times?
