You'd spend MP on THAT?

So combined with Atum, this was mostly the case of you having 1.8m or 1.85m cap. Probably 1.80m considering how you hit 1.85m against 10 Def and 1.88m against 8 Def. It's still a very nice number, but I'd say that you vastly overglorified it and failed to mention the amount of support cap-increase you've piled on it.

Sure, why not? Where is the problem with that? I guess it aint obvious enough what the goal of this roster/setup was? To basically make Herc a nuking monster in maximizing Ability Damage on her in addition to let her burst and attack like a monster. Else I wouldnt choose to set it up like that. You either go in one direction all the way or drop it. But if you do, make sure it reaches it full potential, else it's gonna crash.

I dunno, I think it's a more realistic approach to assume that people "bring what they can," not "bring the perfect optimal team for building up one specific thing."

Which I guess isn't even true as I'd assume that DMM Light has some Hime better in that aspect, but you get the idea.

Actually, not really. My Light over there is pretty much stated. Vishnu, Tish, LAthena, Michael AW, Atum. That's all the Light SSR I have.
Usually I run in that order aswell for the most content. Herc mainly debuffs and leads the BG-Game while the rest focuses on getting Vishnu going.
The other setup for Herc-Focus (LAthena out, Atum in) is basically for everything I wanna just smack away on the spot.

Checked through, doesnt seem like there are any other options to improve this. So yea, if you have Atum, this is an option, else, you wont reach that high, but Overlimit alone is already strong enough.
But yes, in the end, it depends on what you have available and make the most out of it.

If you've got a plan in mind, the desire to see it through, some number of Sundays free to grind with, and the half-elixirs for it, why not? (this applies to chasing after any specific new ex skill needed for some idea you've got)
It's like...what, just under 10 runs of the 25 ap sp quest on Sunday to get 1 MP? And anyone considering this sort of shenanigans ought to be high enough to get back at least 50 AP per half-elixir. So we'll round it to 5 half-elixirs per MP. And how much MP you can power farm for in a single Sunday is up to your free time, determination, and half-elixir supply (presumably not much of an issue in a world with the post-2nd anniversary gemcha system).
