    I know it's better, but in what ways is it easier to obtain? Playtime and LS roster is relatively thin at the moment... We can probably manage 8, maybe 10, for a scheduled event... So I'm looking at the best short term solution going forward.

    We're basically coming back after a two year break, so were all in Abyssea gear with level 90 empyreans. Can we reasonably jump right into Delve/other new content with that stuff?

    yes if you read up on NMs, most (if not all) KIs are 6-manable w/o delve gear.

    It's kinda hard to see when your luopan also has an obnoxious aura. Geos should help spam supportive spells on their parties so they may not notice it wear off right away. With an icon you can have an "ifnotbuffactive" rule in your spellcast to show that you need to recast it. It's not hard to move around and see if your indi is still active but it's nice not to have to focus on that .

    When standing right next to your loupan, some aura colors blend in together too much and it's actually hard to see what's actually present on your screen. I'd too rather look at an icon than try focusing on that headache-inducing animation. Maybe an indi spell duration could be added to Timers plugin? And since only one indi can be up at a time, only 1 slot would be used for it, so that recasting spell refreshes the timer.

    Tax'et is easily killed with 10 intelligently pre-adoulin geared players, wasting the time/gil on skirmish now is pointless (unless you are a smn?)

    Edit: I'm sure you could offer one of the active delve linkshells on your server 1-3M to secure a place in their alliance for a single kill. Well worth it if your ls isn't capable of doing it.

    Abby AF3+2 and lv90 empies should pull it off. If you have 8 people, just shout for remaining 10 people to fill in jobs you need. Also, if you cn't seem to get your wins because of low healing power or low DD power, you can always get 2-3 people stay out of alliance for fights and PL the alliance from outside with Embrava+cures. Then take those people in for repeat clear and let 2-3 other people PL outside. Helps with some T4-T5 NMs like moth or peiste that spam a lot of AoE damage fast.
    I can literally make a shout, invite 17 other people I've never met and get a 1/1 win now that strats for most NMs are known. For meele zerg ones aim for something like this:
    PLD WHM BRD xxx xxx xxx (xxx = SCH for embrava, BLU for Terror, stunners, THF for Feint, DRG for angon etc)
    COR WHM BRD DD DD DD
    COR WHM BRD DD DD DD

    BRD rotation is a must especially for shouted alliances. DDs need bring sushi. If you are unsure about party setup or gimmick strategy for any NM, ask on these forums first. You can do it. And if you fail, tell us what setup you had and what went wrong and you'll get advice how to improve.

    Don't tell me. On orobon I had the SCH drop alliance and want rotate in parties for Embrava. He told me earlier he did plenty of NNI to prove he knows his art. Well. Oh, and same orobon actually, I was in the middle of explaining battle strats and got to BRD rotation part. "BRDs use SV, sing your songs, drop and seek for invite". Someone woke up or whatever and did just that. Still pulled it off first try. NMs aren't hard. Making every DD use food will break your spirit tho. "I'm broke dood".

    As for Dia2 - you might be using QD for other purposes as well, and shorted QD recast comes in handy in general.
    Dancer's should be on the line below, was a typo when addiung it in at the end.

    I had that happen once, and on another pug run I got invited to, one of the PT leads dropped one of the CORs to invite his 2box SCH to Embrava the ally..........

    Yes, its damage is its least important characteristic.

    Others have given you good advice for Tax'et, but as far as Delve is concerned in general, you'll be able to do some of the NMs but not complete the entire system. Since KI stem from groups of NMs rather than individual NMs (Tier1-3, Tier4-5), you just need to pick the easy NMs.

    Morimar: Matamata, Kurma or Peiste (Both of these are hit or miss for pick up groups; Kurma favors manaburn with PLD+SAM2x for SCs; peiste favors melee burn with SCH stun and an enfeebler)
    Ceizak: Chapuli (Just melee burn, but do know he requires high cure maintenance), Tax'et (Pickups tend to have issue with this guy for whatever reason)
    Foret (I've only fought two NMs here and only once each): Pugil, Orobon (Both are zergs, but BLU with ES Absolute Terror helps)

    Uragnite in Foret is probably one of the easiest Delve NMs too.

    Why do mobs have two different IDs and why does POLUtils display one of them (eg 0104A1DD) in the monster list but the other (eg 17080797) when you export that monster list to xml?

    Is the exported XML List the exact same order as the list within POLUtils? So for example if I have a mob I who's ID I got from ApRadar (1DA = 0104A1DA) who I know is 3 positions above a named NM, in the exported mob list xml, will it still be 3 positions above the NM in the xml?

    Is there anyway for POLUtils to display BOTH IDs so that I don't have to export the monster list each time just to get it's ID to change it's name?

    I'd skip every pet roll except pet macc one for stun......in the situation you have a COR in pet pt because you need pet job, it's probably better to change to another pet job....or just buff your pet job DD buffs if they're meleeing.

    gallant/dancer roll may be good for pulling, so it's not that bad. I'm not familiar with fast cast cap but caster is also a good mage roll after evoker if they can't cap it. Rogue's roll is rarely used since Abyssea era is over, most jobs no longer use crit-hit WS and often get more benefit from chaos/fighter, I'd skip it unless I'm planning to do an event with DDs that gets benefit from it. Choral roll is useless and healer's roll after update is only good for epeen SS. I haven't use ninja roll since lv cap increase so you can probably skip it for now...evasion tanking is mostly dead and your COR will never get invite for an NM that's eva tank-able. If you're only using COR for alliance event, you can skip blitzer too since you should have a BRD in pt. I only see it being useful when you have 3 roll access and you need melee DPS over WS dmg, but no march to cap delay cap. You can also skip avenger's roll, only a few situation needs it such as brewing and doing self darkness with WF, and you probably didn't lv COR for old content.

    tl;dr
    Skip pet rolls except puppet, skip rogue's/blitzers/ninja/avenger for now and just buy it if you need it later, skip choral/healer since it's unlikely that you'd need it.

    Basic quickdraw set to get me started? (looking for a few things I can pick off the AH, and hopefully can use things like my Rani earring)

    Will try a few things out with just rolling and quickdraw to get settled into the job as I continue to gear it. Also, what subs for cor/what situations?
