w/ the pot from the sky option, wouldn't it be more efficient for it to be like a 3~5% chance to activate the dropping, and make them all party elixir / p.p.elixir / p.allcure?
give the boss multiple sections - like 4 or 5. this allows bstep, pierce, and most mage attacks / summons to actual deal some damage. granted, this also allows heros and DrK's to completely own the boss, but what can you do.
the low drop activation would have to be triggered by a high spm class - corsairs, NL, BM, MM. i think the lowest of those is 400spm, which equates to 12 sets of party potions dropping per min from the marksman alone. countering the fact you need the main DPS classes for potions would be that all of the mobbyish classes will be doing the damage (as it's multiple hit sections), and the DPS will be keeping everyone alive... which is kind of the reverse of normal.
i think just changing the number of boss hitzones changes it all. 5 sections would make a pally(acb =O), mages(ID/FD+summons) and marksmen (...pierce would be absolutely insane...) DrK / Bishop would be critical for pot conservation. BM/NL/corsair would be providing the potions. shads would be doing decent damage, as well as SS if there's a lack of potions (say a ranged team dies or something...) i think that's everyone except brawlers. i dont know enough about them to know how to fit them in. heck, i barely know if they are mob or single trainers.
