Front row-- Fortress/Dancer, Landsknecht/Runemaster, Nightseeker/Arcanist
Back row--Medic/Runemaster, Runemaster/Imperial
On any given battle I have my fortress using taunt and strike guard and weak/party shield to sponge attacks, relying on guard mastery and fan dance and my land's swordbreaker to come out of big attacks unscathed. My land is more or less a standard link build, which relies on biding slices (I don't have swift edge yet), galvanic/glacier rune, and sword-danced normal attacks to get all 7 procs. Nightseeker has auto-spread and venom throw for random encounters and does ailments + link-feeding attacks for bosses, medic is on healing more or less all the time (though occasionally she'll move to the front and throw in a normal attack) and runemaster does mostly elemental runes and attacking runes.
The setup I have feels pretty solid in terms of damage and flexibility, but I know the 5th stratum is supposed to be pretty difficult and I was wondering if I'd be able to do well with this party, and if not what sorts of changes would be good to make. I have an arcanist/medic, a bushi/nightseeker, and an imperial/bushi registered and more or less adequately leveled as well, but I don't know how to go about putting them in along with my current party. All of my main party is level 54 right now. Thanks!
