It's one of the ways we could possibly eek more galli out of runs/speed up Aminon potentially significantly
How though? Let's say you add that 300k damage from BLU in the whole fight against Aminon. That would maybe save what? 30 sec? On every other basement fight you wouldn't add any damage because you would kite anyway and you need to hold all Diffusions for Excavation to even dream about keeping hate. Tourbillion is also kinda pointless with GEO BRD COR and Dia III. I don't really see it.
More of a pipe dream, and thinking about it more it occurred to me you wouldn’t be able to sit in regain gear against Ami because you have to ensure the 0dmg hits from Aminon. And you’re right about not contributing dmg to FHE so, yea it quickly becomes obvious…probably not practical but it’s a fun thought experiment.

We do D>H at the start just to use SV before H and have 5 songs rolling the rest of the run. (B can spoil that obviously)
Our plan is a little different and can be a pain because it presumes certain items going in. Once you're set up for it though, it's really good.
Aminon, E, shard farming, DCBA, G, H, F. If B removes any songs, CC should be up by then. We can SV, bolster, GP, etc on aminon, still have it for E, and then have another one for H and F.
You need to go in with E shard and all 4 fragments, everything else is fine. Like I said not ideal for random PUGs, but we make it work with our rotation of people.

Actually the Gleti's gear all has regain and very high MDB. The BLU in my most recent v25 Bumba clear used it. So specifically in regards to Aminon, it could work. I've heard of RUNs doing it, albeit with a lot more effort than PLDs, so a BLU should be able to do it too. I think the enmity issue is the bigger concern.

Which bosses does def down ws actually land on? I know A/E for sure of course, C/G seem to be completely immune?, Does it land on D/H on pull or do they have to be in a specific mode first, Same with B/F, does it require a specific element mode?

C/G is not immune at all. It has 50% resist rank against wind, so it will force resist, but it should just land with 50% duration.
D/H is immune unless in it's in Earth mode
B/F is immune unless in Wind mode

I was curious how long the BLU would last between needing to re-up stoneskin on Aminon, or if the Aegis is really making that a PLD only thing. I agree with most others, I think the Kiting/Enmity would be the limitation on BLU for F/H. But the DPS would for sure help crush A/B/C/D/E/G faster. G maybe tricky to tank, wonder if sudden lunge would work.
The nice thing with BLU is you could create spellsets for each boss because you have at least a minute of running between each.

Since Aminon is magic damage, BLU would likely not use stoneskin, but instead Magic Barrier due to almost 2x "stoneskin"

Sudden Lunge works on E and kinda on G (you will have resists, but it's still reliable). I don't think BLU dps would make any difference on abcd, they die too fast and it's not like PLD Savage is that weak. You will maybe save 5-10 sec on each.

I'd estimate that switching spell sets inside instanced content takes around 3-4 minutes depending on how many spells get changed and connection. Teleporters often only load with several seconds of delay, sometimes not at all during switching.
Once you got the routine down you could probably do it faster by hand but it's imho extremely inconvenient, especially when you have to open/close menue each time you need to open doors/click teleporter/reapply sneak/invis.

Um...you think you'll save 10 seconds on A? How long does your fight take? Our longest upstairs boss is...25 seconds long maybe (with PLD). I don't think adding a 6th DD will save more than like...3 seconds. Maybe a few more seconds on the basement, but G would possibly be slower because of Holy Circle.

I was being generous with that time save to point out it doesn't make sense anyway.

It is custom indeed and after I spent like 2 days looking for right shop all over the world.. I found one in Poland and the price was like 30% of anything from Etsy, while having better quality too.
I think they send stuff to EU, but probably not to US.

What's on the floor is the reason I posted this photo XD
It's a treadmill for walking/running while working/gaming. The joke was, it creates 100% immersion during Sortie, since we all know, that Sortie is mostly running :D
