Why Squads and Trust is the best thing for classes

[Reaperking386]

I agree they have issues still. The idea that you have to level them versus them just syncing is a strange choice and siding with Shoguns' point that they need a boost in power, speed, and thought process. They have the breaking points, but I am happy the Dev's did not abandon the idea with squadrons and are committed so far into improving the system. I think they should consider having us bring a trust, squadron, or even retainer to do some fates or quest events similar to the choco system, but a more improved system.

I made the experience that dungeons with Trusts are faster as a DPS if you count the queue time. They take about 26-32 minutes (I always use food at the start and by the last boss the food buff is either almost over or it has like up to 5 minutes left. With real people it's like 20-25 minutes on average, after the wait time of 15-30 minutes. With Trusts you know what you get, with real players you might get a single pull tank, a zero DPS healer fishing for Freecure procs, or DPS that do the same damage as the Trusts. And most times you really get those kind of players in leveling roulette.

It's annoying that when you pull extra, the Trust tank takes so long to aggro the enemies, while the healer gets beaten up because he healed you. Or when you're the tank it's annoying that when you pull, the Trusts start attacking immediately and get left behind when you pull more. And of course they are slow and stop everything during mechanics. But other than that it's a nice way to level, or see the dungeon without being rushed through it.

It would be nice to unlock them for low level stuff as well, but it would need a very good incentive to make people do those dungeons with others instead of only Trusts.

This was my rule. If the dungeon queue was 10-15 min or longer, I went trusts. Doesn't really affect me because I usually tank or heal but I did have to level up my dps jobs somehow.

I tried squadron about 2 years ago when I got em to max lvl, think it was 60 for squadron in mid 2018, they sucked and were worse then a group of bad players so I haven't touched em since.

Trust are alot better but I wish they'd aoe, I wish if u died they'd raise u instead of the fight being over and I wish we didn't have to lvl them up to get them into lvl 77 etc dungeons.

Trust have some work to be done before I'll use them regularly like I do que'n up for a duty or making a of, hopefully they'll get there in 6.0

Squadron are badly scaled in lv50 hard modes, but for plain leveling dungeons lv20-60 they're probably the fastest leveling in the game with full Offensive 5. They blow real players out of the water. 11 min Stone Vigils, 12 min Aurum Vale and Sohm Ahl, zero queues, no risk of troll groups. You can take breaks, kill every mob for exp, spawn the seedlings in AV and you get all the loot to turn into seals. They're well worth the poor AI.

I prefer Squadron over Trust because they just melt everything so fast. I can clear a dungeon in 10 to 15 minutes with my squadron. I would really hope they give us more squad members of the newer races and jobs and expand it from 8 to 12 members at least. Also of course let us play up to level 70 dungeons. I really like trying out new jobs with Squadron. My only gripe is that all mechanics always focus on you and that can get you killed faster if you’re a healer or DPS like the dungeon where the T Rex throws those blob mobs at you and only you. The healer can’t keep up with the damage. It should also focus on the squads, too. Especially if you’re a healer and have to learn to heal them quickly.

I love trusts they're a great addition to the game. I'd love to see them expanded to other dungeons and not just msq ones.

For trusts, if you use the paladin tank you can multipull and aoe things down.even playing normally my slowest run was 30m playing as a dancer.

Fastest with a group is 15 but that was on malikah well where everything can be multipulled.

It really is better for a dps to just trust dungeon it once duties are used up, if not just use trusts period.
