Re: Been awhile since the WHM's had a discussion

Depends what you use your whm for. Seriously endgame, yes. Casual/meripo, no.

Genbu's Sheild: Why does everyone love this thing? Yes, damage -10%. I can see that being pretty nice. Is it worth sacrificing attk+12? Obviously, since I'm using healing and dark staff in pt, I'm not going be using a shield unless I'm soloing. As a melee/solo whm, should I make an attempt to get a genbu's?
Personally, I have rdm at 75, and I'm happier soloing on that job, so I dunno about this one.

Quote:
Do any whms use /pld, especially in place of /smn for auto-refresh and job ability buffs? Dynamis applications come to mind for this combonation.
Have any whms ever experimented with /sam? This is off the wall and random, I'd like to try it out someday as a melee sub along similar lines as /nin (but without utsuemi and dual-weild, ofcourse)
Can't say I have experimented, I'm tending to stick to ordinary subs for whm (for the whacky, I'll try rdm again, though won't work for /sam)

What is the job priority for hastes? I know I have my own priority based on things like tp gain and other random stuffs, but I'd be interested to see in what order OTHER whm's haste people, especially DD. I don't want to see something like "I hate the tank then the dd then someone else" I want a specific order, like NIN > PLD > DRK > THF > etc etc down to SAM > RNG > BLM > SMN
As a sub-question here, do you commonly haste yourself?
I haste tank > 2 handed melee > 1 handed melee > never mages. Well, I'll haste a blm when he is d2ing people home.... As for me, it depends on how things are going, I'm not in the habit of hasting myself, as I am an Elvaan, and mp is mp, but if I have a lot to do, I will, to free up more time to rest.

Do you use enfeebling, IE, paralize and slow, in pts? And at what levels and situations do you enfeeble?
Hmm...I think that's enough for today. Discuss!
Yes, I do, except if there is a rdm there. I have 8/8 enf magic merits, plus gear from rdm, so I'm happy to enfeeble whenever I have to - if I can save a melee from being hit with a para proc, less mp for me to expend.
