DPS Composition question for raiding

[Kyt]

So I am a main tank who never played and will probably never play a DPS at a raid level in this game. I just created a Free Company and almost have my static totally completed. As someone who's only ever had to worry about himself in raids, I am now tasked with putting together a composition that benefits each other with practically zero knowledge of the different buffs each dps bring to the table. So I am just simply here to ask if someone can give me a brief rundown of exactly what each dps brings to the table in terms of utility. I am under the impression that sam is just a dps bot with no utility or anything, ninja brings slashing resistance or something? I'm not 100% sure.

Any help would be appreciated!

What type of static are you? Hardcore, midcore, or casual? Only utility really matters with Hardcore raiding.

What type of static are you? Hardcore, midcore, or casual? Only utility really matters with Hardcore raiding.

I mean, if the difference between casual, midcore, or hardcore is how seriously you take raiding and what type of content you want to down, then I would consider my static to be somewhere between midcore and hardcore with an eye on all savage content in this expansion.

[Sacerdos]

If you're pushing savage content on release with the expectation of clearing and farming before the next set of content, you're hardcore.

Midcore will push savage without the expectation of clearing and farming before the next set of content.

Casual won't push savage at all.

I would say radiant shield and contagion are both better utility for smn than what you listed there. Contagion bring 10% more magical damage on target 15 sec with 60 sec cd and radiant shield reflect 50 potency damage against boss and bring 2% physical vulne 4 seconds for boss every time boss hit against radiant shield that have 1min cd and 20 sec duration so in perfect scenario you can have physical vulne 24 seconds.

radiant shield and contagion

Oh, missed those, I skimmed through the list and don't play SMNer much so my bad :/

Also Arkenne Mch Hypercharge is only 5%, it got nerfed.

Whops? You are right, I pasted a 10 there when I intended a 5 somehow :/

BLM:
- Absolutely none (other than maybe be an MP battery)

Technically, Blizzard2 still aoe binds, sleep is a thing also, and so is freeze, but yeah close to none

[Inuk9]

unfortunely, none of those crownd control spells are effective in raids.

I hope that changes soon

I did think of those but... yea... besides, even if the opportunity presented itself, doubtfully any BLM would ever remotely go out of their way to stop their DPS for the raid's sake =-=

Well I can be just fair and add it... why not?
