VPQ glitched?

That's wayyyy too many people for the PQ. Not trying to show off or anything but I can solo the bomb stage with ~20 secs left before respawn. It's really all about organization over dps here because death=15+ sec lost per char. I also cleared two platforms at the same time to maximize venom's effect (powerful ones). None of your members should be using 1v1 skills btw to ensure all mobs die around the same time. Also stay in 1 dimension together, most deaths occur from 2 dimensions being killed at same time.

Edit: The point I was trying to make is not to clear all 3 plats (same dimension) at the same time like how you described. Instead work together at the same time so everyone moves all at once.

Even with organization, without dps or certain classes you're screwed. I bring my fp as a mule on my duo runs to clear a few stages but if we really tried, we prolly could handle bomb stage (shad + sair). Sometimes parties need to compose of more people because they're lacking in DPS. Only downside is there are less splits per person if an item drops.

Before my duo runs, my party was me, a hero, and an MM all with excellent potentials/gears and on average we finished at 3:10~3:25 mark. We had very good coordination and organization, but that was 3 people

Now my friend's party run has an ice mage solo the room, and all she does is blizzard both rooms and can solo it. So they only need 1 person. While we take 2 more people [for that stage], there are different classes and each has an advantage over another in this stage.
