You are trolling if you are not using essences and actions in Delubrum

Today I was in a Castrum a run with 18 players, so we got Echo bonus. My party's setup was pretty bad, with players having combinations like Cure II and Cure III for whatever reason including healers, or carrying Protect/Shell on DPS and a general lack of essence. I went as MNK with Beast Essence, Rend Armor and Assassinate. I went bottom with a 10-8 split.

Bottom had a 40% advantage on top. I stop DPSing for a bit waiting for them to catch up but the Drill is taking a lot of damage due to low numbers for the split attacks and tethers, so we kill bot with Top still on 50%. We kill the waves of mobs for 2+ minutes but eventually we wipe because Drill took too much damage from Top's boss attack.

We have time for one more attempt, so this time I go top. 9-9 split. This time Top finishes almost 40% ahead. Bottom is unable to kill boss before the drill dies from splits and tethers.

This is how important essence and action usage is on Bozja.

Yep, I call out Lost Spellforge is much more helpful nowadays for the first Castrum bosses because of sporadic essence use, and yet people still don't know that both floors of bosses have weakness to Magic.

The uninformed still play this "amount of people should be even" BS game. Of course if you have majority casters on the floor it will melt. Spellforge the best equalizer, not to mention saving a lot of time. I'm willing to bet 80% who queue into Castrum probably even have that skill in the chest and just never decide to bring it.
