FFXI Sortie 9 boss strategy guide (Paladin)

**Credit to ​⁠​⁠‪@velnerxi‬ for the leg sweep Triboulex strat and ​⁠​⁠‪@shirajpleb5931‬ for min max strats including the AoE sch buff/naegling attack boost. Credit to my static for providing a relaxing environment and encouraging each other to experiment and try new things (with only minimal bullying). Here's my group's strategy for Sortie and a detailed explanation of my actions on Paladin. This is not even remotely close to the only way of doing this, nor is it the only set up for this content. I'd like to note that while Sortie 9 boss is considered "High Tier" endgame by many in the community, the important thing is to have fun and enjoy spending time with people you enjoy. It's not worth it to get stressed out by people that have poor attitudes in a game that is about having fun. I hope this is at all helpful and anything anyone has to add is absolutely welcome.
