You offer an interesting perspective on the scenario, I can partially relate to that, but even much more than that I think it's about "alliance composition".
For instance our targets die so fast (except Wave 2 NMs) that you hardly have the time to target stuff, let alone land a debuff.
I'm afraid most of the time we don't even have time for the ~3 seconds necessary after a GEO's sleepga to apply the frailty/malaise/whatever bubbles to them.
Stuff just gets destroyed, really fast.
We don't normally use BLUs and I can't remember the time someone complained on discord that they couldn't land the necessary debuff on first attempt.
Our COR usually hangs around alone oneshotting statues if necessary, or pulling stuff and bringing it back to the main group, while someone sleeps, geo debuffs, melees slaughter everything.
This is not the "best" way of doing Dynamis I'm sure. It's just the way we enjoy/do things and no chance it's gonna change anytime soon or that I'm gonna be able to change people's mind for whatever's reason lol.
I'm talking about Dynamis, of course.
I guess it's different on different content. I had to land Wind Threnody 2 on the Dahak with multiple PUGs this month's Ambuscade Vol1, for instance.
I used to love landing Threnody (way back in time when we were doing Reisen T4 with Mage setup) even if 99% of the times it was practically irrelevant because of how overpowered/bugged Languor/Focus were.
So it's not that I'm against Threnodies. As I said, body was the first Mousai+1 I acquired after all!
It's just that nowadays I only see it making a difference in a minority of situations, or other situations where it "could" make a difference but then again stuff become so easy because of power creep that it doesn't really matter.
Things could change tomorrow with new content, for all I know. I'm just sharing how things feels from the place I'm standing in atm.
In the end I think I kinda agree with what Comeatmebro said.
Like... Minne and Carol are rarely used, as such it's hard to define the relative Mousai pieces "important".
But when you do use them, it sure is very sweet to have those +20% potency/duration.
Something I cannot say for Mambo, simply because realistically when is the last time you used mambo?
And partially for Etude as well, because while I do use them (I'd say more or less as often as Minne or Carol) those ~4 more points in each stat that you gain from Mousai HQ isn't really gonna make your jaw drop now, is it?
