An optimal formation for Rosie

[DarusMul]

Does anyone have any ideas on what formation is best suited for Rosie?

I'm not happy with anything I come up for her, because Tyril is so damn good and not having him in a formation is a huge loss.

She's just simply not worth switching, unless she was somehow 100x better geared.

I do use her now and then but I won't argue that she's not almost useless.
"Almost" being the critical bit, there have been a few adventures where she has done well for me.

I don't remember pre-rework Rosie being particularly necessary anywhere.

Mainly those adventures where champions get removed from the formation.
She's reasonably well equipped, I managed to clear z1600 in that event. So I can toss her in without worrying that she'll still be standing at the end ;). She provides enough killing power to the team that she's not in the "must avoid" group now.

Note the "pre-rework" part.

There is an interaction between Jim & Valentine that give those numbers, it seems the socialite buff is applied pre-stack. Potentially not working as intented, but in current state that how it works. And I can't see how VU can reach those number (prior Magical Mistery Tour) out of 13 VV stacks situation maybe.

To compare, right spec for Jim to get 10 stacks.
10 stacks for Vin Ursa's Vicious Vantage, too & 100 bounty contracts burned.

Same feat logic: 2 pre-stacks, 1 80% post-stack and 1 utility (10% crit vs. STR)
About gear filling the gap (330 vs 1010):
From Vicious Vantage stacks: (22.48/9.943)^10 = 2.2609^10 = 3489.7
With Deck speck vs. Jim's spec: (15.36/6.698) = 2.2932
2.2932 × 3489.7 = 8002.7, so still miss 23M to catch up.

Without Valentine, Jim lays a bit below with a 2.53e33% buff, but it's not counting on Jim's Benefits on other Acquisitions Inc. champions (that can be huge) and his buff being positional potentially buffed by Ravengard or other postional boosters... The gear difference can probably be neglicted by Magical Mistery Tour, so the question is really on other Acquisitions inc benefits from Jim (Vi's A Good Example, Evelyn's Lathander Grace, Omin's Champion of Tymora if it gets you more of them).

Just an aside. She did quite well for me doing "One Spelljammer at a time" today.

Only chaotic good champions allowed and she happened to be top DPS. Even better than the murder parrot.

I agree, I don't think she's generally useful but she is good enough to be useful/critical in some niche adventures.

I'm not at the point where I've cleared all the base adventures yet. Just most and I'm picking the remainder off when I think my overall killing power has increased sufficiently.

With her rework, she's now a very good dps champion, particullary if you can fulfill her requirements. She's in the same scale of power of Birdsong, Kas, Warduke, Dark Urge in an AA party, etc. There is only Artemis that is above that level (and only with good gear — and in fact outstanding gear for most players).
