LDR from 60-70 on tank also gives you a cracked cluster which is pretty nice money (I think DH VI materia sells for like 70k)?

Heavens eye, savage might, and savage......the other one, all seem to bounce between 50-80k, yeah. Pretty good money for 30 minutes’ work.

Edit: for the record, I'm not saying you should save the LB for DPS. I'm just not convinced it's easier to get the healer to solo than it would be to just learn it.

Yeah, GCO is a bit intimidating but it isn't incredibly difficult to just learn and do as long as you focus only on your part. I basically saw it the first time one night and cleared the next. I don't doubt that it's possible to sac strat GCO but it seems more like a bragging rights thing for the healer than an efficient way to handle the fight.

So I'm super burnt the gently caress out on PotD, and kind of want to start working on my DRK. Are the Command Missions decent XP all the way to 60 or am I still condemned to do the 50-60 grind in there?

Like other people have said, if you don't want to do PotD, don't loving do it. You can chain run REAL dungeons. Do your leveling roulette every day and then just queue up for whatever highest dungeon you qualify for. You can do the 50/60 roulette too to change it up a bit. And trial roulette.

PotD might be the fastest on paper way to level but what are you racing for? Do what you enjoy. I don't even level my DPS 50-60 in PotD because its loving mindnumbing.

with everyone else off the table there's no loving around with stack markers or petrifies, and flood of naught/almagest is a joke to heal through if you don't have to worry about allagan field. plus you don't have to use any cooldowns to heal, so the gently caress-you off-schedule grand cross delta + almagest after isn't a threat.

the healer just does three color lasers/flood of naughts, the same way you've been doing it the whole fight, then hits a button.

i mean obviously if your group has GCO down already you shouldn't switch, it is a dps loss.

50-60 dr is fun because you can just chain pull the entire dungeon and dynasty warriors the trash. I’m still not sure how it compares xp-wise to just running the latest dungeon you have available, but it’s usually quick and it’s a nice change of pace from the grind.

Instead of doing 70 potd runs to go 50-60 do like 4 lldrs and 4 raid roulettes.

I wasn't complaining about it at all, it's fun! Plus it's nice to not be super-reliant on having a good DPS like Astro can be. With that said, it's not nearly as straightforward, the fact that you have to choose between using your resource for more damage or more healing makes it a bit more complex than AST.

I mean it changes a combination of stack, knockback shriek and whatever else mechanics that everyone must do correctly or wipe into the healer dodges two antilights with no additional mechanics and gets hit by the third one before lb ressing everyone. There is absolutely zero debate on which one is easier

For the record I am in the same static as bleu, and gco is the easiest part of the fight for everyone involved doing with that strat. basically every other mechanic is harder by comparison

You could always do PvP to level and get access to PvP glams as a bonus; but yeah, do the regular stuff as a DRK.

The main reason to heal or tank a CM is to get a feel for the class in a low pressure setting.

Syrcus needs a lower item sync badly. Every fight is just a punching bag until the boss remembers it actually has mechanics, except oops it died thirty seconds ago.

It's weird, Syrcus was probably the hardest of the three CT things on launch; every boss had at least one Do This Or Wipe mechanic. Nowadays you can ignore the mechanics completely (except for Ancient Quaga I guess) and blow through it in 10-15 minutes. LotA still has some Bone Zone, meteors, and Ancient Flare, and WoD has some mean parts with Angra whatever and the Cloud of Darkness, and level sync weirdness means it's not as much of a massacre as the other two.

Yes. It’s being a smn and hitting DWT right before the boss goes invuln for 15 seconds
