Eureka is a bit like savage.

Okay now that i got your attention here is my point.

Yesterday i tried to farm high level in a 8man group,then i did some solo i was level 5 and beat level 5 monster,and here is teh catch,i leveled up faster alone than with the group.

Why ? cause just like in savage,if you are in a group of 8,the the overall dps sucks,you will just spend an eternity in there
for the numbers:

with 8 man group,all level 5,we beat level 10 monster,without chain we get 70exp ,and cant handle chain above 17,we usualy beat them in 40 sec 1m,depending on CD.

Alone lvl 5 against level 5 i got 578 exp without chain,BUT,took me 25sec to beat them and could go easily to chain 30,with the eureka pot i could fight non stop with my monk.

So yeah better have a great overall DPs group and farm alone

Fighting things at 5-7 levels above your PT level, easily chaining to 30, rinse and repeat. That's whats popular in my data center.

[Gleipni]

yeah,but your group have to dps fast or its no that worth maybe longer

[xbahax92]

it is true, the better your overall dps is, the faster you kill the mobs. if you go in with your static, you are probably faster...
but lets be honest, pug/random groups just fill up with any sort of people who likely afk few times, do little to no dps which is satisfying and thats another sort of thing which comes to the fun factor. SE still believes their battle system is fun. Actually it isnt, not without mechanics/puzzles/riddles etc.

Can you imagine if those mobs had an Enrage timer?

ah,seems like there is something like #zergtrainNMspawn,that is basicaly going around the map,killing monster to make NM spawn,so maybe killing monster like retard is not the solution

We hit a chain of 20 (i think it was 21) yesterday and we were only 7. We had 2 tanks, 1 healer and the rest was dps

Go in with a group of hard hitting AoE classes, plus support to replenish TP/MP, and you can chain quite a bit, non-stop(pretty sure if the chain didn't reset my group could have had a 90+ chain at one point - 3 RDM, a BLM, a BRD, a SAM, WHM and WAR was the party composition) we were all(except the WAR) around level 2-3, killing level 5s.
