BLU is a good DD for dynamis and support in tank PT. They can Headbutt Mainly for WAR/NIN or NIN/WAR for when shadows are bein recasted. Diss on mobs u wont need to sleep (MNKs Mainly) And then 2 other nice Damage spells. Hysteric Barrage and Frentic Rip. BLU can pop 700-1k on each of the above 3 spells. Head butt wasnt for damage but it would average 75~ damage but was a stun. Never had a BLU for Animated fights so dont know how well they will do there. but farming up till wep fight they are a reliable job if they know what they are doin.
As for the animated fight most ppl above have it right. FEINT WS Spam KC-Mkris DRKs and BRDs/CORs.
Idk about suushi cause ive never Been a melee for animated Dagger. Only ever been WHM in an old shell. All i did was spam Cures on MNK/DRK (whore inorite?) Had 2 Mkris DRKs but they werent my responsibility >.>
Even a lv.65 BRD would be better than havin any extra Tanks. even bringing in a lv.65 BST might even be better than the extra tanks(sadly).
