Hurry up and fix V5s WAR ghost exploit

[Dualblade]

Curious about this, it's it really a DPS loss for the party? I mean the ghosts you fight in the cabins are not linked to the boss's HP so any damage you do to them isn't going to make a big difference. Yes I suppose you could say well it's easier to keep buffs that come through using rotations etc, but you would also be saving MP/TP for not wasting it on the ghosts to begin with, not to mention you don't have to spend seconds interacting with the point, reappearing on the train and then traveling within damage range to attack the boss.

I assume its a DPS loss A.) Because any class that relies on something like Greased Lightning will most likely lose it, and B.) For people who use the FFLog and parser stuff they also technically look worse compared to those who have everyone fight a ghost since they have more downtime, and thus less numbers.

This is also why people say RDM is best for this, as they have both high burst and the easiest class to regain resources with for this paticular use of them.

See I can understand the buff loss like Greased Lightning and other similar ones, but it terms of parsing then if it is a group that are concerned with that then I'm sure they would agree before the duty commences on whether they want to proceed with the WAR strategy or not. Definitely there are parse parties out there that's why they use PF anyway but for every other group that's isn't bothered, if they are doing the strat they know and/or accept any side effects.
