* Call forth <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span> and summon her in any of her three forms (Child, Adolescent, & Adult) and place her in '''Passive Mode''' using '''Level 1 {{#skill:2456}}''' to get instant 1 second FCT and +5 ASPD. I prefer to use her Adult form in this case since Adult Ventus gets longer duration (20 minutes) than her younger counterparts (10 or 15 minutes) and you can use <span style="color:gray;">Neutral</span> PW. On the other hand, Adolescent form when placed in Passive Mode will forcibly endow your PW to the Wind element and you may still use this form if <span style="color:gray;">Neutral</span> element is not suitable in the dungeon you're farming; while Child form is just cheaper on the catalyst cost. The only drawback to this option is you cannot use '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #268F15 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>''', but this is just a small price to pay so you can use PW, alternate your 4th job DoT skills, and still have the capability to wear drop rate shoes.

* When wearing drop rate shoes and you have no Ultra Limacina Card, you will now need to substitute it with either {{#icon:470094}}{{#linkitem:470094|Hero Boots-LT}} or {{#icon:470204}}{{#linkitem:470204|Moan of Corruption}} to achieve 1.5s FCT. Hero Boots-LT is your closest choice that gives a balance of damage and utility since it gives 1 second FCT when it's Grade A and refined to +13 and its {{#icon:310911}}{{#linkitem:310911|Knowledge of Wise Man}}enchant when it procs will give +'''100 INT'''.

* Other options to supply the missing FCT include the combo of Thanatos Accessories consisting of {{#icon:490052}}{{#linkitem:490052|Sinful Sapphire Ring}} + {{#icon:490053}}{{#linkitem:490053|Sinful Sapphire Necklace}}(0.3s FCT), and {{#icon:490064}}{{#linkitem:490064|Brilliant Light Sapphire Ring}} + {{#icon:490065}}{{#linkitem:490065|Brilliant Light Sapphire Necklace}}(0.2s FCT), then wearing {{#icon:24747}}{{#linkitem:24747|Spell Caster Shadow Armor}} + {{#icon:24748}}{{#linkitem:24748|Spell Caster Shadow Shoes}} (0.3s FCT when both at +10). And though you will encounter a noticeable damage loss and minor but solvable instant cast problems with that set-up by losing key parts of your HoL set, it will still be good enough to let you farm low to mid game dungeons but not endgame dungeons anymore.

As the three options are already arranged according to their significance and tested effectiveness, my favorite choice will always be the first one because though it doesn't allow me to cast '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #268F15 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>''' it still gives me the ability to cycle my 4th job skills and wear drop rate shoes. The main idea behind this build anyway is to spam PW as much as possible in any given time and doesn't revolve around Elemental Buster. Just make sure you use your [[The Complete Elemental Master Guide by Goldie#Tank Gears|tank gears]] when summoning <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span> so she doesn't die that often and give yourself a minute or two of allowance to resummon her while she's active and on Passive Mode so you can take advantage of that 1 second FCT.
