What i dont see is how are u supposed to give a pld knights Minne and dextrous etude for example if the other melees get Valor Minuet and Sword Madrigal. Each of the characters would have o stand seperately or do i really have to find a position for the party songs where i actually only hit the one person? This would be a close to not manageable task i guess.
This has always been my dilemma/problem, especially in dungeon settings where party members, of necessity, stand close to each other, or when, no matter how nicely and firmly you describe to a party the best positioning so you can do your job, they dispute your analysis, or ignore it, or during the mayhem of battle, forget it and move.
So far, I either fake it a lot (cast the right songs but know that they will have little effect because they are immediately being overwritten by something else) or I don't cast the specific etudes at all on a regular basis. I always ask at the beginning of a party whether anyone wants more than Madrigal and Minuet (and Ballad, of course) and try to address any specific requests as best I can. I think I have the theory down pat, but, in practice, in most parties, much is difficult, if not impossible, to implement perfectly. Just keep trying.
Thanks to the OP for all your work and the information you provided. Rate up.
Edit: Wow. I got rated down for this post in which I said I was rating up someone who started a wonderful and informative thread? Someone needs their butt smacked and to be sent to their room. You can't really hurt my karma, but, even if you could, I don't care. On the other hand, I can't help but be surprised that this particular post got me rated either way. Is kindergarten out today?
