Well depening on level-range as well as which job I play I have diffrent favorite setups.
Samurai (30-34)When I last played SAM 30-34 the setup which I favored where.
WAR/MNK, WAR/THF(Gaxe), SAM/WAR (me), THF/WAR, BLM, WHM
- I pulled as SAM and then the WAR/THF voked I did Tachi:Enpi >>> SATA Viper Bite off WAR/MNK BLM MB'ed.
- Next fight WAR/MNK voked and we did Tachi:Hobaku >>> SA Sturmwind BLM MB'ed.
- Repeat from 1.
Warrior (60-65)When I play WAR I do it as WAR/NIN or WAR/THF and have a SET DRK partner that subs either /WAR or /THF.
Basically we do either Power Slash >>> Rampage or Guillotine >>> Raging Rush depending on which tank we have we sub diff jobs (NIN tank we sub THF, PLD we sub /NIN and /WAR).
For the other three slots I like a BRD, RDM or WHM and BLM setup since it allows for fast-paced fights and decent exp per hour.
Basically a school book example.- Pull mob
- Build TP
- WS + SC
- repeat from 1.
Paladin (60-65)I set with a SMN as PLD (actually the same player that is DRK SET with my WAR).
I must say as PLD I want a RDM since it makes my life so much easier when it comes to manage mp usage/fight, BRDs work too but creates some headaches for song positioning when fighting certain mobs (some mobs you just don't want to be facing any mages).
As PLD my preferred setup would be PLD(me), SMN(SET friend), RDM(or BRD), 2 melees that can make a beefy skillchain and a BLM to MB off the Skilchain (my SMN friend gets to MB off it as well of course if timers are up).
As PLD only thing I really care about is mp usage/fight and to keep hate on me, the damage and skillchains I leave to the melees and mages to fiddle out since I am not really part of them.
For other jobs, well I havn't played them so much recently so cannot really state an opinion on them right now (since I have no recent experiences).
But in general tank + 2 melees (skillchain partners) + healer + support + BLM is how I usually build parties.
