    It’s a bit annoying but I don’t see it being a major issue. I mean, it’s not like there are strict dps checks in DF content anyway, so it’s not like you’re going to missing out on much if someone bursts at the same time as you.

    Plus isn’t it a bigger loss to try and offsets buffs but then end up having to do burst and 120-second follow up ability without full raid buffs? I guess that’d maybe depend on party composition too.
    I.E if there were two Bards a Viper and a Samurai I don’t think they’d lose anything from offsetting because the only buffs are the ones the Bards have anyway. If the Samurai changed to Dragoon though, wouldn’t whichever Bard was offsetting have to risk not getting Finale out under Battle Litany? I mean, it’s probably minor, but it’s worth considering.

    As for healers, again it does annoy me when I’m paired with Sage as a Scholar. Because literally every single time they won’t touch shields once, but the literal moment I start casting Adloquium or Concitation suddenly they start shooting out Eukrasian Prognosis/Diagnosis like some spiked their energy drink with crack. I swear it’s on purpose lol. If I see a Sage in the party I literally will not bother touching a single shield. Not using Deployment is a tragedy, but watching a Sage overwrite your beautiful giant shields with their filthy little Prognosis shields is soul-destroying. Like; they seriously couldn’t wait the 10 or so seconds for my shield to break before they spam the living daylights out of shields? For what? DPS-loss Toxicon? lol

    Joke’s on them anyway *laughs in Emergency Tactics + Recitation’s hilariously high direct healing values*

    I haven't done the math, but man.

    If that's not a striking indictment of combat design, I don't know what is.

    I agree with you that you don't know what is.
