RDM WHM BRD requires a strong melee set and a smart RDM to work properly

Or you could get a RDM/WHM, BRD/NIN, and 4x Misc. Decent (Not nessecarily 'strong') DD, and do as-good-if-not-better? amirite?

I've never broken 100# without 3 mages. although this is usually because melee number 4 is never as misc. decent as you would hope they are.

One of my better PTs was RDM WHM BRD WAR WAR MNK.

The one thing I did notice, the WHM never had less than 80% MP (estimated). We (the melees) were able to bounce hate well enough that none of us got hit more than once unless it was a stray pecking flurry. In that situation I wouldn't call the WHM a drag, but I believe another melee could have increased exp a bit. Though I'm sure the RDM appreciated a second person to Haste and throw out the occasional cure

fuck that shit. I only merit with relic brd/whm brd/nin 3 melee and rdm/whm (me)

the real question would be - was this pt enough to consistently kill colibri #10 as colibri #1 popped? (if it was, you were doing 23k/hr - which is *almost* the most you can do if you restrict yourself to one tier of nyzul birds) at which point, having the extra haste, the extra cure, the stronger regen, and the flash in the first place, is probably better than having a fourth DD.

if you weren't able to clean your level with that set up then you'd probably have been able to use another DD.

the other half of this of course, is with 8mp/tick recovery a whitemage who is 'holding steady' at 80% mp is spending 160mp/min - which without that whitemage would be a pretty significant drain on the redmage. the best merit parties are the ones where the mages mp out:in ratio is almost 1:1 - because then they can continue at that pace indefinitely.

That's why I said "I believe another melee..." because we were doing about 21k/hr I believe. I wasn't exactly watching pops, I was just trying to switch targets and kill the fastest I could.

I also realize that the refresh and ballad on the WHM kept her MP up, but I didn't say she was holding steady at 80%, she just never fell below that. The majority of the time her MP was full. Like I said, we were bouncing hate very well and didnt get hit every often.

Thanks there Dr obvious.. Does that really work, that's ground breaking stuff there...

I am trying to point out that while xping within your LS / friends list, (lol @ inviting people you dont know) RDM WHM BRD works.

from KI, a drama thread about a thf getting a ridill and then leaving his ls, in the mist of him getting pwnd by about 5 different people, a noble young man named "Blitzy" comes to his defense:

Blitzy himself is a huge dumbass, so it all makes sense.

Ridill is really only good for merit pts, that's about it. lol

I think Imperial was just "restating" what Blitzy said.

I'm pretty sure Imperal was being serious, I mean, he does represent all of Alla afterall.

Well, there's a thread about WAR/MNK being the uber tank and able to tank at all levels to complement that thread...
It started off as a question about WAR/MNK pre-40. Then some idiots showed up. Then grumpywookie showed up with his UGG UGG ME GRATE AXE WAR/MNK ONRY posts. Then someone claimed that because WAR was the main tank before PLD and NIN came along, it must be good at all levels...
