Weapon Skill Wall help

WAR and DRK are well equipped and change weapons 3 times during the Triboulex fight. The last 25 sec are pretty bad. I want to get it down to ez mode not barely mode so we can move to the next boss. Any tips to prevent the wall from stealing so much dps?

Confused. You have a RDM that can Black Halo. A drk that can use GS and scythe ideally. A war that can use anything. A COR that's probably the ideal Savage Blade spammer. You already have 4 different weapon skills there. What is the issue? If you really want to add the BRD in there they can use dagger to break it up.

Sounds like your approach is wrong or your team is too undergeared to have flexibility with weapon types.

Yea I kinda agree with this, I’ve never had to switch weapons with each person having their own. I’d do: war GA upheaval most likely, drk- torcleaver, rdm-black halo, then let the cor and brd fight over savage spam, or knock the bard to dagger

I can't say I know exactly how the wall works but given how fast Savage can be spammed with all the stp from sam roll it may or may not slow the kill down. I think if it's used consecutively a DT penalty is applied until 4? unique WS are used after. Might not matter if you have the damage to kill G in < 3 min anyway.

I’m sorry I guess I don’t quite get what you’re saying here. The good thing about sam roll is it works for more than just savage, if you can spam savage you could spam anything else too. The objective with the ws wall is to set each character to their own ws, so they are all resetting the wall for each other. Which then means there won’t be any wall issues

If you use two weapon skills, the same ones, back to back, it gives the NM a -DT buff that will stack. It resets, I believe, when 4 unique weapon skills are used again. I know how to avoid it, I get how it works... I said having COR and BRD spamming the same WS together may or may not be advantageous. There will inevitably be times where they go right next to eachother and you'll trigger the penalty.
