    So... about assault

    Its dead at ragnarok atleast

    Almost everyone only does freaking Ex duty and most people dont even do assault in the first place

    After 8months like 90% still rank 1 its just weird

    Repeating EX duty like what most people do to rank up will require 250 run to get rank 10 now count the days where you miss your tags or fail or maintence and thats almost a year

    Clearing every area to rank up faster will take kinda 3 months if you count failers since alot of areas depends on luck 90% and your skill 10% alot of areas wont be clearable for small sets or stupid areas that cant be cleared like lebros tier2

    Some areas are hard even for 6 people

    I wonder if next patch endgame area (like sea/sky) will require rank 10 assault to enter

    I want to see people getting owned honestly so they start doin assault unless SE add new endgame area that require rank10 assualt most people wont care in this game and this sucks for people who cares

    Its really sad. Such a well designed and fun activity is overlooked because it doesnt have omgasmic (ex) items.

    Assault would be too easy to exploit to get into an end game area. Sky takes some (lol) effort and Sea requires a ton.

    Looking at ToAU so far, if the trend continues I doubt there will be much effort at all to get to the endgame areas...

    You dont have any friends?

    I would say 90% of assaults are trioable, most of them easily so.

    Get your NIN to 75, make a static group with a couple of people with some job flexability including atleast a bard and a rdm, and you should be able to rank up most of the way with very little trouble.

    I left the game for around 2 months, and I still just hit Corporal, and am waiting to do assault to get 5/5 Yigit. I have never done an assault with more than 3 people, and my static's job selection is:
    NIN/MNK
    RDM/BRD/WHM/BLM/BST/COR
    RDM/BRD/WHM/BLM/SMN/BLU


    Assaults are fun, require very few people and very little organisation, have absolutely no competition to worry about, and when it comes down to it, if there are no ex items you want, you can still make money from it.


    Wanna know the keys to continued assault success?

    Dont go with shit people.

    Doing evade and escape is so much easier and requires lesser time than ex duty even though there's a 100 assault point difference.

    been doing assault with 3 people now, our 4th is on vaction for about 3 weeks now. Just hit sergeant last night and have a hell of alot of fun. Don't let the six people myth limitation fool you, you can definitely pull these off with less than that.

    I actually do hope they require max rank assault to get to the endgame areas, and that the endgame area has something good enough that RMT would want to go there. Only, it'll take RMT a long time to get there due to the 1 tag a day limit, and by the time they make it, maybe they'll be banned again.

    I said alot of areas cant be cleared with small sets (trio) which is true sametime some areas are very time limited can barly win with 6 unless you have a tough set with strongest jobs

    Thats wrong though - most assaults are easily winnable with three. You do need the setup though. Win the ones you can win, repeat for the ones you cant. I would say 4/5 assaults across the board are trioable..

    We not talking about Strategies or so about assault in here


    Anyway i think taou so far is a joke if the only requirement is to finish the missions to enter the endgame areas we will see rmts there 24/7

    instead of shouting for shitty pickup groups, make a static ?

    Uh, I've cleared every assault except 2 with 3 people up to S-rank. The SM rank ones we've been going with 4.
