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

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).

Re: Unusual yet effective party setups

DRG/RDM DRG/WHM DRG/WHM PLD/WAR RNG/NIN and BRD/WHM
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 ; ;

Re: Unusual yet effective party setups

I always thought Jug and Jump burns were highly innovative.
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.

Re: Unusual yet effective party setups

as for SATA burn i did a mini-SATA burn when 2 members disconnected, 4 members 3 of them are friends of me and the 4th is a THF
THF/NIN (me) THF/NIN RDM/BLM and WHM/SMN at 66~ mobs dreamt to hit us, only hits we got is from the multi-hit WS Colibri does.
wanna try a 4 or 5 THF party!
