Lost Action for Beginners

All Roles

The usage of lost actions is key to clearing Delubrum (Savage). Bosses and enemies are balanced around using said actions (essences too!), so please make sure you understand how the duty action system works.

• Pooling resources, aligning buffs, and bursting together as a party will always yield the best results.
  • If you are looking for resources to improve at your job and understanding how to burst effectively, please visit The Balance website.
• Resistance Reraisers should be applied at all times. Having one on gives you a 70% (or 80%) chance of being revived immediately on death.
• Light Curtains are useful during Queen’s Guard, Stygimoloch Lord, and most noteably The Queen to reflect various AoEs.

Melees

Melee DPS have the highest damage potential of any base role with little to no outside support needed. Font of Power and Banner of Honored Sacrifice should be used together every 2 minutes along with other raid buffs and high potency skills.

Lost Rend Armor

Two players in the alliance will be assigned to run Lost Rend Armor. If assigned, you will replace Banner of Honored Sacrifice with Lost Rend Armor and alternate uses with the other assigned rend user to maintain 100% buff uptime on the boss(es).

Physical Ranged

Physical Ranged DPS (Dancer, Bard, and Machinst) provide a strong critical hit and damage buff to the party. These jobs are commonly assigned to run Font of Power and Lost Dervish and are to be used during every 2 minute burst to maximize buffs during that window of time. Similiar to Melees, you should be putting any high potency skills in this window to achieve their maximum potency/damage.

Dervish Drifting

Lost Dervish should be drifted into the next 2 minute window to catch all buffs. It’s suggested to hold the action ~20 seconds before using it to ensure it catches a majority of the party’s burst.

Casters

Using Font of Magic or Chainspell together during every 2 minute burst to maximize damage. However, one caster per party should bring Lost Cure 4. Cure 4 has a synergy with Pure Essence of the Elder that when used, anyone healed by it will recieve Lost Bravery for 60 seconds. This bravery effect is twice as strong as that of Lost Bravery, but must be maintained by casting Cure IV once a minute. It’s the choice of that caster to drop Font of Magic or drop Chainspell to instead bring Lost Cure 4. Do keep in the mind the pros and cons of both aforementioned actions and plan accordingly (i.e. Bringing Resistance Ether Kits to supplement Font’s MP drain).

Cure 4 Usage

Lost Cure 4 is a massive 21,700 potency heal that should be used on every instance of damage (raidwides, mechanics, etc…). This will make your healers happy and keep the Bravery damage buff rolling at all times.

Tanks

Tanks should be using Font of Power and Banner of Honored Sacrifice together during every 2 minute burst window. Similar to other roles, you should be putting your highest damaging skills during this windows to help maximize your damage. One tank per party should also bring two plates of Lost Shell 2 and two plates of Lost Aethershield.

Shell 2 and Aethershield

At both Trinity Avowed and The Queen the assigned tank should slot in Lost Shell 2 over their Banner of Honored Sacrifice and proceed to apply Lost Shell 2 to anyone who wants the buff. Afterwards, they will slot in Lost Aethershield and use it on the boss’s raidwide attacks. These raidwides hit for heavy damage and apply a strong DoT.

Healers

Healers should use Chainspell during every 2 minute burst window. Similar to other roles, you should attempt to put your highest potency skills during these windows to maximize your damage. You will also be required to bring multiple utility actions, like Steelsting/Spellforge at Queen’s Gurad and Dispel on several fights. White Mages can replace Chainspell with Seraph Strike, which should be used every minute as soon as it comes up along with Thin Air to negate the MP cost. You will also need to bring Lost Arise to raise anyone who has died. Healers should attempt to bring as many arises as they comfortable can.

Lost Arise Usage

Lost Arise synergizes with your Pure Essence of the Divine to grant Arise a 15% chance of raising a dead player. To better facilitate uses, please stand over the body you are trying to arise. This helps prevent multiple casts from going out and potentially being wasted. You should also attempt to raise mid-combat as well. Anyone raised with Lost Arise will not recieve a Weakness or Brink of Death.
