So uh, Command Missions...

Quick guide on "How to run ___ dungeon with my squadron?":

• Halatali: don't, because bosses have invul phases and your recruits are too dumb to kill the elementals. Besides, you always forget to activate the switches thingies before the second boss.
• Toto-Rak: don't, because you still don't have your tank stance (see below).
• Brayflox: don't, because it's meh and bosses are a pain.
• Stone vigil: go and wreck everything in 10 minutes.
• Wanderer's palace: don't, the whole place is a mess for squadrons.

Quick guide on "What classes should my recruits be? And what about me?":

• DPS Recruits: Archers. Two of them. Until they get patched.
• Healer Recruit: Conjurer. Because the Grand Company is too poor to give them Job Crystals.
• You: Tank. That's the only way you can ensure the tank (you) keeps the aggro against the archers with your tank stance. Besides, you (hopefuly) won't cleave your party. I'd choose PLD, because you have Sentinel in SV, but whatever suits you.

Quick guide on "What strategy buff should I use on my recruits?":

• Archer 1: Offensive.
• Archer 2:Offensive.
• Healer: Offensive.
• ... Unless you have another strategy which provides more damage buff while leveling Offensive. Anyway, don't go Defensive.

Quick guide on "Will you make a quick guide with some random tips?":

• In SV, all bosses will only target you for their mechanics, as your recuits are considered as pets, and no mechanics in this dungeon target pets.
• Don't forget to open bosses' chests as SV cost 2k seals and you gain ~1k with the chests GC deliveries.
• Don't pull everything like an idiot. Archers are best when focusing a single target. Besides, your healer will DPS if you don't need healing.

I haven't had a problem on any of those dungeons with squadrons though. Them attacking invuln targets is kind of a pain but you can solo adds so whatever.

What's up with archers and why are they so good apparently?

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.
