Hello fellow FFXI enjoyers!
For fun, I'm writing an addon/program that will take a list of jobs and generate weaponskill assignments for each Sortie Boss. I'm hoping I could get some help from folks who do melee sortie regularly.
Could you fill out this spreadsheet with your Melee WS assignments on each boss? I'll use your assignments (assuming they're correct).
Please fill out this sheet: Melee Sortie WS Assignments per Job
Edit: Permissions fixed 2026/02/21
Here's an example that one person filled out so far. Thanks Mordaunt!:
Updated 2024/02/24: This chart appears to be correct. I just updated it to remove Fudo from A/E Boss because Savage Blade > Fudo makes Distortion and we want to avoid water-aligned Skillchains for A/E.
I just want to see folks take their friends into Sortie, as their favorite jobs and who knows, maybe they kill 8/9 bosses and have fun.
Here is a more generic spreadsheet that I maintain. I don't know who the original author is. I added columns of the skillchain priorities to make and avoid for each boss.
Can I get some feedback if the skillchain element being avoided is correct? Thanks Vyre for helping identifying the correct skillchain elements to avoid. (I should be able to proceed with my code from here but verification is always welcome).
Updated: 2026/02/26: Updated to correct DNC WS assignments. I believe this largely works, verification is always welcome. Credit to original author, I just maintain this sheet until I can automatically generate it.
Edit: Updated in-line on 02/26/26 above.
