Thanked 173x in 135 Posts Gil: 15,633 Bank: 15,173 Total Gil: 30,806 Donate  | Unusual yet effective party setups In the past few days of exp on my thf, i've find this style great for days where you see nothing but a mage or 2, a bunch of other thf and drgs.
Day one. Party started as thf/nin x3 drg/nin, drg/rdm and whm. Area Mamool Ja staging point where we chained Sea Puks and a few mimicers/drgs.
Day two. Party was same drg/nin and one of the other thf besides me. thfx3, pld/nin, drg/nin, smn/whm. Few misshaps and more or less, pld and smn left. One forced d/c other afk too long. Then our drg left ; ; But we still kept going, blu/nin, whm, and smn came to the rescue~! Over all exp was a typical slow paced bibiki bay party would pull around 3-4k/hour. More or less, just because how fast paced it seemed. Post some interesting none standard parties you've had, :3 or some unusual experiances in normal exp |  | ::Quote Selected::  | | | 08-31-2006, 10:45 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Digital Wizard Super Moderator Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Florida, USA Posts: 6,018 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood:  Thanks: 69
Thanked 465x in 306 Posts Gil: 3,123 Bank: 108,404 Total Gil: 111,527 Donate | Re: Unusual yet effective party setups There's lots of unusual party setups at higher levels.
TP-burn (melee/NIN, melee/NIN, melee/NIN, melee/NIN, healer, BRD) is pretty popular right now.
Mana-burn (BLM, BLM, BLM, BLM, MP-support, optional 5th BLM or additional support or healer mage).
SMN-burn (SMN, SMN, SMN, SMN, MP-support, optional additional MP-support or 5th SMN)
Double Bard party (BRD, BRD, melee/NIN, melee/NIN, melee/NIN, support/healer/optional 4th melee).
As long as a party as sufficient targets of adequate difficulty and enough damage and recovery output, you can set up a lot of creative parties if you do enough planning (I've hit XP chain #204 with a TP-burn setup, and I've heard of people getting much more).

my favorite setup ^^, got invited into it once around level65. in bibiky bay killing birds, around 6K/Hour ^^
usually i don't bother looking for another DRG to form such a party with (most of them refuse =_=) so it's sorta rare ; ;

The coolest one I've ever heard of is a dagger burn (not sure what they're called) when you have 5 or 6 thfs all continually SATA'ing on eachother. Takes a LOT of coordination, but an incredible idea. I RNG 75 I WAR 37 I NIN 38 I SAM 50 I Woodworking 92+2
