What's on your Cape and Herc Vest? Str/WSD? or DA?
STR/WSD on both.
Took an absolute age to get the two together on the body though.
GEO pretty much sorting out pDIF lets the COR use Fighter's Roll over Chaos Roll, that's a trick I often see people missing.
Mostly because just fury/frailty isn't enough to cap attack(at least for lower attack jobs like cor), plus many ws like torc fudo don't get much benefit from it. And even if frailty+ fury caps attack indi bubble slot is often more useful on defensive buffs.
Basically fighters roll shouldn't be a "standard" DD buff in a 2 roll setup doing semi high lv content unless you are really really sure that pdif is capped with absolutely zero doubt, and don't need defensive buffs at all.
Fair point but here's my math, feel free to chip in on it if it's off.
Geomancy (Assuming Idris)
Geo-Frailty = 41.8% (41% because it rounds down)
Blaze/Ecliptic = 73%
Bolster = 82%
Indi-Fury (Entrust) = 34%
Enfeebling Magic
Dia II = 10% Defense Down (20% with double Light Shot)
Bard Songs (Assuming BiS)
Honor March (Marcato) = +348 Attack
Honor March (Soul Voice) = +646 Attack
Minuet V (Soul Voice) = +446 Attack
Self-buffs
Berserk = 25% Attack Bonus
Footwork = 24% Attack Bonus to Kicks and Dragon/Tornado.
We're looking at over 100% Defense Down during Bolster, nearly the same during Blaze/Ecliptic and 59% Attack Bonus, 83% during Footwork. Also have to add +1092 Attack from Bard songs. If that's not capping pDIF on Omen-level NMs then I'll be very shocked.
Chaos Roll at it's absolute best will get you a 75% Attack Bonus, we're talking XI Crooked roll with the job-specific bonus kicking in. I've done enough Omen runs to notice a positive difference when subbing Chaos Roll out for Fighters/Monks/Rogues (depending on the DD in the group). Anecdotal I know but I'll need to go get some more concrete data to go on. In due course.
