I'm not saying you can't do all dungeons with your squadron. But Stone Vigil is definitly the easiest and doesn't require you spamming orders all the time.
And about archers, they use Barrage with a (very) low cooldown. We are talking every 2 to 3 GCDs. This alone makes their DPS way above any other class.


ohh, that's interesting. I did notice my monk was using goad on me almost every pull...seems they just don't follow cooldown rules. That's funny, haha.I'm not saying you can't do all dungeons with your squadron. But Stone Vigil is definitly the easiest and doesn't require you spamming orders all the time.

I ran my ten dungeons as a healer with a WAR tank + two ARC. I always thought Stone Vigil was a longer dungeon so I didn't run it. Brayflox is super easy though. The biggest threat is your characters getting locked out of boss battles. The trash simply consists of hitting Engage and tossing a heal or two while stoning things. Bosses were pretty much the same but with the odd Disengage/Engage to get them away from the boss room gate.
I've only been trying as tank atm. My only gripe the dps/heals only does single target on Engage. There need to be a separate AoE engage button depending on who the target, with healer still focus on healing party ofc even if target is enemy. I don't mind healer dpsing, just when I press Engage then AI should know something need attention. Disengange is great for dodging but its funny when arc/cnj trying to run towards me, they got caught by the stalker in Wanderer's Palace. I ended up duoing up to last boss with a pgl (ran out of tonic). I like most of it, Engage button reminds me of good tanks who marks their targets in low-level dungeons. It saved most noobs like me from ripping aggro back then.




I switched between Halatali and Stone Vigil for my 10 dungeons. Both were super easy with me tanking. Squats are best emote :3

Possibly the best way to powerlevel your DPS for now. I did some Halatali > Toto-Rak > Brayflox with my MNK and DRG without any problem whatsoever. For some mechanics I need to actually soak some of them.



I've ran this as a Samurai, Red Mage & Warrior and it is definitely easier as a Warrior or any tank I imagine. For sure after clearing each dungeon once, I am only spamming Stone Vigil as it's the only dungeon I can run as a DPS without issue and has high XP. Totorak is also doable as a DPS, but low XP. I might try healer even though I've never healed before, but this might be good practice.
So...I like to think of squadron's from an in-story perspective. It's more fun that way, and I can imagine all the little annoyances Kaiva gets from leading these young Flames through her early adventures. The WoL is the only one that has the echo, so of course they will usually know when an AOE is coming. All the other NPCs...not so much. So I found it hilarious in Halatali that my squadron would constantly attack an invulnerable boss, because they probably think that hitting it hard enough will kill it. And the adds?
...well, I can't defend their mindset on the adds.
