Never really had trouble with asking CORs to pull, whatever they use for support job. Call me a lazy when it comes to the philosophy of pulling, but I'm happy when a puller uses /NIN; it makes puller dying on the way back that much less likely.

That's a bit impractical; on Ifrit, a Pellet Belt is priced modestly at 9-10k, but only 0.352 sales per day. It's likely to be absent from AH most of the time.

I've had a grand total of one person (MNK) who proclaimed he has a Pellet Belt in party since I start playing.

THF has the ability to not get enmity from a WS when used with TA, but doesn't have the ability to remove existing enmity already on itself. (It can steal enmity from others and add to its own, though, with Accomplice.)

As far as I know, only DRG (plus /DRG) and BST can shed enmity. Until S-E implement that wacky temporary enmity reduction thing for NIN, anyway.

Assuming the two jobs, if pulling, would each spend same amount of time away from camp--if they spend that amount of time DD'ing, which would do more?

The one which does less damage should pull, no?

Unless you're claiming the average COR can out damage the average WAR, I'd say have the COR pull--the same argument for asking THF to pull instead of WAR.

If you want some RDMs to pull with arrows, make sure you let them know ahead of time. We don't typically pack them (can't hit much even with capped skill), and often don't have room unless we leave something behind.



I’m in pain, but I’m happy.
It hurts, but I can smile.
That’s why I can tell you from the depths of my being…
