Yeah that's why I mentioned the part about having time to do so. But if ja are up it's all good, can fold and rd and reroll instantly. RD always resets the ja with lowest recast first so PR is never missed.

This is not true. I use Triple Shot sometimes as a buffer to try to force random deal to reset snake eye or fold. About 40% of the time random deal will reset Triple Shot instead of snake eye despite snake eye having a lot less time until recast is up.

Well, it is true for Phantom Roll
Quote:
Random Deal strongly favors the restoration of abilities that are grouped on shared timers within a hierarchy (such as Stratagems, Quick Draw, Phantom Roll, etc.), as each ability within the hierarchy is counted separately when an ability to restore is randomly chosen. This is planned to be corrected in an upcoming version update.

Some cor recommendations that I don't see very often.

If you have an eleven up and you are trying to get a good second roll, let your PR recast refresh at 30 seconds before trying to double up on anything over 7. That way if you bust you can instantly reapply the roll.

If you don't have an eleven, but you have fold, you can wait until 35 or 40 seconds for a last double up if you want to be aggressive and try for that 11.

Additionally, moving out of range of your targets to intentionally bust a roll after an 11 is a nice way to keep rolls up on your DDs while trying to get a better second roll up. I.E. you have 11 chaos up and you are sitting at 8 fighters roll. You can move out of range and intentionally bust fighters and then reapply fighters to go for 11.

While it won't increase your performance, it will help you save a little bit of gil. Get the double food duration from santion, use your food, then homepoint to the appropriate buff giver (signet/ionis,) before events.

granted i never did formal testing, and this is going back a few years, but i remember it not working like that back in the 75 merit party days. food didn't last 2x as long if sanction wore or was overwritten between eating and food wearing off. I remember reaching the conclusion that the duration + effect doesn't double duration upon consumption, rather you "digest" at 1/2 speed, and when you lose sanction, normal rate "digestion" resumes. I suppose this would be easy to test with some low duration food.
To offset this sj on cor talk. Sanction strength can vary the multiplier on the food duration buff. If you have the strongest level of it currently on your server it will double the duration for it when it is ingested.

The biggest hurdle is actually the Anima ingredients (Memories) because no one spends any significant time in Promyvion anymore.
There is also a significant reason not to sell Hallowed Water, you'd make more money using them to make Haoma's Ring and finding enough burning memories to do both is pretty hard (at least on Asura). Malison Medallion also can be a money maker and requires Hallowed Waters.

Not like they are hard to farm anymore for someone who actually wanted to make them though. Promy isn't even level capped any more.
They have horrific drop rates even with TH8 on the higher levels.

I thought they fixed that years ago O.O?

Although Seha is correct that PR gets much higher chance to reset than others, just not 100%.

That is interesting because it is a clear bug that subverts the intended function of the job ability. Basically what it is saying is that when phantom roll is on recast and random deal is used, it has 29 chances to refresh the recast timer on phantom roll before it moves on to the next timer in your recast pool. That would make it nigh impossible to not reset phantom roll with random deal as long as it is the lowest recast timer in the pool.

I'm kind of interested. Does phantom roll subvert the other side of Random Deal where if you only have 1 JA up for recast that you can fail to reset any timers?

Here's a random tip that unfortunatly some WHMs don't realize..


When Blue Mages uses Battery Charge, Animating Wail and / or Erratic Flutter they last for about 5 minutes.

Please don't overwrite it unless it's a higher tier buff. It's frustrating when you use Diffusion on a buff that lasts over 5 minutes only to have it snuffed out when you apply the White Magic equivalent.

Another that everyone doesn't probably need to know.

If your HP is not Adoulin but wish to go to Adoulin without spending Kinetic Units, enter Mog House and go to Mog Garden and enter Adoulin via the little boat near Porter Moogle.

It's not like Flurry II is the only thing a RDM has that's useful. Haste II allows melees to cap magic haste with 1 March. Which gives the BRD 1 more song option free. Distract II/Dia III together cripple mobs a lot more efficiently than Dia II/Distract.

Don't forget Geo's here as well. ;D Distract II = -50 evasion, Dia III = -15% def. But for a Geo in a Rng party, Distract I (-35 eva) + Indi-Precision (+75 acc for Idris, sorry, don't even know non-Idris numbers anymore ._.) and Dia II (-10% def) + Geo-Frailty (-25.5% def) is much more crippling. No Refresh/Haste II, but in a Rng strat, that'd only help the Pld. No idea if the above evens out or advances past the differences between Flurry and Flurry II though. Guess it depends on if Flurry + Coursers + top notch Snapshot sets cap, or if Flurry II is needed for cap, but haven't seen (or looked for..) any testing.

If this is your mindset then stick with playing with your trusts NPCs or grow some thicker skin.

Reiteration: Timing is important. Efficiency is important.

Example: Before Ark Angel or other battlefield, it is not good for a PLD to cast Protect V and Shell IV on themselves when WHM will cast Protectra V and Shellra V for everyone in party.

------------------------------------

Please use auto-translate function.
Please learn job roles and tactics.
Please do not forget Signet/Sigil/Sanction/Ionis.
Please do not forget food and medicine.
Please ask questions before you start event.

------------------------------------

Leader, please specify treasure rules before event and ensure everyone understands and agrees.

------------------------------------

Dynamis Party Treasure Preferences (Personal)
Ensure you have several free spaces in Items so no items are lost due to lack of space. 
Do not forget items such as trigger item in Mog Safe or Storage. 
Do not forget to check characters for trigger items before event.
Specify what items you want before event -- otherwise: 
Single unit ancient currency is free-fall. Cast lots. No, thanks.
Relic weapon/armor: Cast lots. OK if you need/want it.
Hundred unit ancient currency: Cast lots. OK
Trigger item: Do not pass immediately. You may be asked to hold it.

------------------------------------

Trigger item comment is true for other things as well such as Abyssea.

Abyssea key / box person: Please transfer non-rare/ex items to treasure pool so that all can Cast lots. Check gold chest contents - do not simply open gold chest. Do not forget to add items to treasure pool.

Abyssea leaders please do not AFK! We will reform alliance.

------------------------------------

Please do not use  outside of battlefield.
Please do not use  immediately after you enter battlefield.
Please do not use  before everyone else has entered.
Please do not use  before/while running to pre-aggro camp.
