And do I really need a separate Dark team for Guild Orders when my Lights are doing okay at it? I mean it wouldn't hurt, but at the moment my dark weapons are very underskilled since I've been focusing on Lights since they're my main and Fire for the upcoming Tower.

Right now I've got one team of every element plus a second Light team, a leveling team for doing experience quests (just whatever needs to grow), and a team for daily gem quests featuring Mithra. The other slots are more or less open. My Lights are my best, Darks are probably second-best, and then I don't know between Fire or Water for my third-best. My Wind team is hopeless, and my Lightnings would take a lot of investment, but my Fires and Waters probably only need one or two Miracle Tickets each to turn into something nice.

I would take Provisional Forest with Herc on the Dark team when you have Satan Awakened and the MLBed Herc axe. That will get you -50% Def down and now you can buff overall damage. It is better to get the ATK and DEF debuffs first over Provisional Forest. The only time it works better is for Light where you can take both Provisional Forest and also Sniper Shot (Shingen soul with EX Sniper Shot).

If your Light is your main, you want to work on thinking if you can do more than one load out for Light. But it all really depends on how deep your Hime bench is with Light. If you have just 4 SSRs, you probably only have one good load out for Light. It won't mean having multiple teams until you get 5 or 6 SSRs that can switch in depending upon the job. Example: For my Dark team I have both Satan Awakened and Samael. Both give -25% DEF down, but Samael does it all (for 120 sec), while Satan has it for longer (180 sec) and a Black Propagnda skill. I switch them depending on whether it's a single fight (Satan) or groups (Samael).


Dark is a great second choice for Light... it helps when you have to do Light Catastrophes and Accessory Quests.
