Hmm, AU meripo PTs took no skill at all lol. If you weren't getting chain 6+ your party "sucked" lol. (I'm not saying your party sucked, just in general.)
This doesn't make any sense. If meripo PTs took no skill at all, how is it even possible some parties weren't getting chain 6+?

I'm sorry to tell you meripo PTs did take skill to pull off properly, just as much as normal PTs did in the past. Not much, but not less either.

Saying they did not require quick reflexes is quite false, especially if you play offensively (like all the good parties did). Monks sub /war and go fulltime counterstance, Bards are on the ball with repop rotation, melees see an opportunity to throw a SC to the mix, they do it. Also melees switch targets before disengaging the last monster. And so on and so on.
