/RNG are also valid choices

/rng has always intrigued me, especially since I like to spam bolts, but what does it have to offer besides Sharp Shot? I haven't researched it that much.

I was also wondering, if I SA+Shield Break for example, or another Break WS, will that make it land for it's full potential? Or can it still get resisted?

Shield Break looks good, but it is capped at -40 evasion. As you get higher in levels, the mobs that con IT will be even higher than before, is there a point where taking off 40 evasion from the mob just isn't as useful as it once was?

I'm not too concerned about using Warcry, I normally use it before the big SC+MP that will almost kill the mob goes off, so either the mob is dead or almost dead if/when I draw the hate.

The difference it makes in your damage is so small that you may as well save it as a hate tool for when Provoke alone isn't enough.

It does seem useful for other jobs that don't focus on +att food/gear, such as thfs. It always seems like their SATA+Viper Bite is higher when I use Warcry before they do their attack.

I think Warcry is a bit situational in it's use, I don't use it anywhere near as much as I use Berserk at any rate, it just draws too much hate even for a paladin tank.

The point of WAR/BLU (in my opinion) is to keep Cocoon up, eat meat, keep Berserk up as often as possible, and keep the mobs Shield Break'd 24/7.

Don't the stun spells from blu stand a decent chance of still being effective as well? You might be able to stun some of the mob's tp moves if so letting you avoid even more damage, for a time since even while stunned the mob retains it's tp.

I could see it being very potent with Hasso, but that's Lv.25 SAM, isn't it?

It is, part of the problem I'm having is trying to figure out which would be better at about level 60, and through the 50 range as well. War/thf offers good WS damage, but if my primary WS is Shield Break, that may not be as much of an issue. War/sam offers faster tp gain, and is more helpful to your DoT, which I think would be better if your primary WS is Shield Break.
