I pull without utsusemi, dont get hit. My question is why do you insist on wasting you money, albeit only maybe 1k-10k a party when the mage can do this and cost you nothing? Its not like the mage is complaining, they still have full MP at the end of the fight.
I don't see me listing poison's as a must have.. unless you're fighting the Uragnite mobs on the Manaclipper - then they're essential.

Basically - the better a job you do, the more likely you are to get reinvited. Conversely - the worse job you do, the less you get invited.

I mean - if I was fighting a mob with a poison move that could tick for more than 2 - 3 hp's a tick, damn skippy I'd be carrying Antidotes. You'd be suprised how little time it takes to chunk out a large quantity of hp's a 20 - 30hp tick poison will drain when you're not on the mages 1st priority list.

Sure - it can cost you a little bit of gil... and sure, you're equipment is probably great. And I'm sure HNM's are where you make the effort, but - being well equipped with expendables can easily be the difference between a good party and a great one.
