I'm just a lowely lvl 55 mnk on Bismarck, but I have recently started turning my attention to HMN to learn as much about how to succeed in an HNM fight for when I am able to fight them. I noticed on your website you guys talk about needed a whm sub for some HNMs (fafnir, specifically). Being a mnk/war, and facing lvling thf and sam at 60 for fuidoma and meditate (and not looking forward to lvling another job from lvl 1), I humbly have a few question:
1) Why whm? If it's just for extra protection, why not rdm for stoneskin AND phalanx.
2) Aside for Fafnir, are they other HNM that require a whm sub for melee jobs?
Secondly, as a mnk, will my sole role by boost, boost, boost (repeat) chi blast? If so, is it worth it to go all out with getting the really uber expensive mind+ gear like a pride staff?
Finally, my profile is:

Comments and criticism are MOST welcome. I would love the input of ppl in this godly LS.
