As a Caster, you can have several types of holster setup. For the majority of the members, you could fall in either of the category: a Cure IV Caster or Flex-DPS Caster. Flare Star Casters are usually reserved for a single Black Mage. The nature of how Flare Star works, we often assign BLM to handle it, as it will not overly detriment the MP management. These are the three types of setup:
Cure IV - with the Pure Essence of the Elder, Lost Cure IV will grant the entire party with a 10% Bravery buff for 60s. Since Lost Cure IV has a very short cooldown time, this AOE Bravery can be maintained throughout the boss encounter.
Flare Star - Lost Flare Star is a massive DoT that can be only applied by one caster, last for 60s and has an insane potency of 350. Due to the MP consumption, this action is reserved for a single BLM to use. All other BLM assigned, will have to follow the assignment given.
Flex-DPS - A Flex-DPS caster brings 2 Lost Action buffs that can increase overall damage.
These are some actions and items to consider in building your first holster:
