That blue and underline combination does not work well here. Sometimes, less is best.  | I was trying to keep the info compact and accessible with that notation. Have not trouble distinguishing between " ," and " ↘" on my computers, however, and all the coloring are default, I think. ↗ ===== Tier 1 (Superb) no arrow = Tier 2 (Capable) ↘ ===== Tier 3 (Adequate/Situational)
Generally, you want Tier 2 (or above) for any role, but each party's particular combination and dynamics ultimately determine the partying experience.
Those rankings are personal judgements.
Oh, and DDs are not ranked. (Though, with the last update, maybe all two-handers should get a ↗, while all one-handers should be automatically sentenced to the dreaded ↘ category...)  “ I’m in pain, but I’m happy.”

In theory, that's somewhat true. In practice, I saw plenty of both good and bad one-handers and two-handers on the climb to Lv.70, and have to say that distinction is not a good predictor for DD ability.
There were just too much variation for a meaningful ranking of DDs, IMO, so I skipped that. Going to see if S-E will be fixing the update first, before I consider ranking DDs. (Chances are, I won't.) “ I’m in pain, but I’m happy.”

THFs are 1 handers, but most people would have put them under ↘. SAMs were 2 handers, but most people would have either put them under ↗ or no arrow at all.
The sign that this update is broken is if the new rule of 2hd = ↗ and 1hd = ↘ always holds true, regardless of other factors. If MNKs exp with Staves, NINs exp with GKatanas, and THFs just don't exp at all, that would be a bad sign. Lyonheart

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,457 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,457 Donate | Re: The EXP Party Index Sorry, I am a returning player looking for exp locales for ceratian levels.
Its been a while so I don't recall where to go for exp parties. Also, things may have changed since I last played, and places I did go to lvl are no longer used. 
I checked the links on this sticky and apparently the links are no longer valid.
I will continue to search through the forum and other sites, but I was hoping someone could point me to the right direction.
