With the changes to how the endgame event Dynamis works, there are some compelling arguments for seeing if we can successfully lowman this event, chiefly;
A lot of people still need Relic
A lot of Relic is still relevant
A feasibility test on building a Relic Weapon (settle down!)
To scope out whether or not this is feasible for our group, I propose a test-run in an area we are comfortable with first of all, to test the following;
Survivability
Kill Speed
Drop rate
The Testing Grounds
BASTOOOOOOOK
The Setup
PLD/DNC - Deltai
THF/NIN - Gnaal
BLU/NIN - Insrick
MNK/NIN - Zyhlaari
WHM/RDM - Kaegos
Battle Plan
Initial buffs are cast at entry point, and Gnaal will zip off snk/invis and pick a route through the zone killing all 5 TE's as fast as possible. This is critical as it will give us an extra 60 minutes, and also the more TE's you have the better your "proc rate" (see below). The normal monsters no longer true-detect so it's just NM's you have to avoid.
Meanwhile the main battle group will start pulling and killing mobs, to be rejoined by Gnaal when he's done with the TE's. We will have to improvise camps based on the lay of the land - somewhere near an NM that can drop 100s would be ideal though.
There are 3 different groups of proc-types (JA, WS, Magic), and which one you need to use will vary with the job of the mob you are fighting. There's no 1 specific trigger, but rather there's a % chance of stagger every time you use something of the right type. Dynamis weakness CAN be procced while mob is casting/TPing, so go nuts.
For Job Ability;
Deltai : This is your area of focus. Use steps (10s recast) and flourishes from DNC as much as you can.
Everyone else can throw any mob-targeted JAs they've got e.g. Steal, Chi Blast
For WS;
Best effort - throw every WS you can
For Magic;
Insrick : Your area of focus. Set many low-power & low-point-cost spells, and spam through all of them back-to-back until it's procced. Subbing RDM and spamming tier 1 nukes can also work, if you find you don't need /NIN
Others can throw whatever they've got, e.g. Flash, Banish, etc.
Individual Duties
Here's the individual breakdown of what each person will be doing.
Deltai - Front-line support & JA procs. When not proccing DD, throw heals where needed, and generally be survivable presence on the front line.
Gnaal - TE killer, pulling, TAGGING, and DD. TH is a big one here.
Insrick - DD & Spell procs. If set points allow setting 1 AoE sleep may help in case of drama.
Zyhlaari - Primary fighter; lay down consistent damage to keep our kill-speed up. Tank w/ counter & utsusemi.
Kaegos - Primary healer, keep the engine running smoothly.
Based on the results of this test (I don't expect a super-high currency yield due to LOLBASTOK), I can determine how feasible any future dynamis activities will be as the Onions.
