For any of you still unclear on this concept, allow me to introduce myself: I'm the 'deadweight' in this party.
Don't attack with avatars in Caedarva if you're a SMN. Amnesia and Silence are both crippling for you. While I don't prefer SMN as a main healer, they're pretty effective at it when everyone has shadows.

Your other option is to use Titan's Mountain Buster to get around the Amnesia problem. Mountain Buster has really good range, certainly more than enough to avoid getting either effect.

As for dead weight, that RDM is an idiot. You don't sub BLM to land enfeebles. Tell him to get his ass in gear and get some real Enfeebling Magic gear if he's having trouble. /BLM doesn't do anything for accuracy unless you use Elemental Seal, and that's only once every 10 minutes.

I'll forgive this stuff from newbies, but if you're still playing like a newbie in the 70's, I don't wanna be anywhere within 5 zones of you. I'm not going to take a chance that some of your taint will rub off on me.

TP-burn a fast, easy way to make exp in a hurry, but the downside is that all the 'experience' is in numbered form only. These are just as bad as the other kinds of burn parties. These players can hit 75 fast, but they show up to your mission or Dynamis raid and it's like you're taking the place on with a crapload of lvl 15's again.
A lot of people wonder why good HNM LSs these days are so selective about who they let join. This is one reason.
