Rage over Sophia

[SpookyGhost]

Just some quick things:

1. Don't need 2 CDs for 1 TB, just 1 (Shadowskin or Shadow Wall). Try and plan your Living Dead for a TB when your other CDs aren't up. DRK is unfortunately not the best for Sophia EX busters since they're physical and iirc her autos are magical (so no Reprisal). However this doesn't mean you need to stack CDs, 20% and 30% reduction are both more than enough to survive especially if you've got Grit on.

2. Sophia EX is easy for an EX primal, however it is a big jump in difficulty from dungeon bosses or the primal's own HM version. EX primals and raid bosses are all about memorizing the rotation of the boss (usually split into phases, sometimes not). There's only 2 true random things in Sophia EX, as an example, and that's whether she'll do T2 or T3 at certain points and the tilt (which side/short or long) - however these are easy to react to if you know how they work.

3. Plunge is pretty good for the knockbacks/tilts(?). Try and make sure it's up when those happen.

Bonus thing:

?. If you're willing to run Sophia 10 times then I'd recommend just going PLD as it makes the fight braindead. Tempered Will works on the tilts and the head knockback, you can also Cover someone to have them avoid it as well. Sheltron works on the TB so you can actually pair it with CDs for more mitigation at 0 cost. Divine Veil is strong for the AOEs and the ultimate ability for 2x WHM groups (or a lot of vuln up stacks/weakness). Hallowed is better than LD since you don't need to strain your healers or force them to save a Bene.
