    Do you feel that at current gear levels there is enough leeway to bring different party comps, or do you think that you have to bring a certain ideal set of jobs? Could you down it with a DRG instead of a MNK or a SMN instead of a BLM, for example, or just one BRD rather than two.

    Also, congratulations! ^^

    We do think there's a lot of leeway. A DRG would offer Disembowel debuff to the party, which is roughly a ~7-8% increase in DPS to BRDs I believe. SMN should also work. We liked having two BRDs for this fight despite using melee-heavy strategies for turns 1 and 2, but I definitely think you could get away with just one if you wanted to. Ballad is pretty important during specific parts of the fight in my opinion, but as your group's ilvl increases, you may not need it.

    Can you actually pinpoint where the ones who failed the twister went wrong? To me it looks like they do the same thing but sometimes die, sometimes don't. Which would mean it is still RNG and this method only maximizes survival. I don't need you to tell their exact mistakes which will obviously come with the write-up. Just want a Yes or No answer to that.
