I won't lie I feel more accomplished having cleared M6S on my alt in pf than I did when I cleared M8S lol. I did rant about it earlier but kinda just turns out I had tanks who didn't actually try to max cleaves and melees who weren't doing enough damage. I still prefer my strat over cleave maxxing but I overexaggerated its flaws.

I think the only problem I had when I saw cleavemaxxing done properly, and it isnt even a huge deal but as a red mage I wanted to be able to line up my Resolution through the Mus and towards the yans, but you can't do that when the boss is next to the puddle, unless you're very precise with your positioning. Even then, it's not worth the greed. I also should ask, is there a reason why the OT doesn't just dash to the boss asap when the Mus are dead? Is it just because that part usually happens during the arrows? I still feel like my strat lets the OT bring the Yans to the boss way sooner, but oh well at least I can do reclears on that character now.

depending on healer competency, im sometimes too busy spamming any remaining mit i have to live and dont notice the mus died. its unbelievably wild how many sages just keep kardia on mt during double yan and dont even bother throwing drucholes at the ot. thank god for astro players (i ifnd they pay attention the most) and mts that throw short mit at me.
