What's the challenge in having a 75 WHM standing around? If you can't get good exp in a regular party, then the problem isn't a lack of healing.

I saw that. I might be back on in a bit. But I have some stuff I have to take care of.

The LS is pushing me to level BRD now.

I've also noticed the new RMT around in the dunes, everyone in lvl 1 gear, lvl 20 mages having nothing but starter gear and maybe a lvl 10 staff or whatever.

I've also not had that much in the way of great PTs lately.. yesterday was trying to level whm more and get to lvl 51, so I could use my elemental staves.

PT consisted of:
WHM (me)
DRG (leader)
DRK
PLD
BLU
COR

Since the COR wouldn't pull.. the DRG decided to be puller. And not Jump-pull. AGGRO-pull.
The spot we camped at was in CN by the Helm Beetles in a tunnel there with the beetles at the end I think and a crawler spawn halfway in.

We get a couple good pulls in, COR is doing his job half-a$$ed along with stupid macros for doing hot shot.. Crawler spawns right after a battle and aggroes me, and we all wipe except for the COR who seemed to be afk without notice while we're trying to kill the crawler and once we're all dead, starts walking away.

We regroup in Jeuno, the COR and DRK disbands. We get another PLD and RDM and go back to the same spot, DRG is puller again but this time the beetles want to be spread out just enough to where they MIGHT link. RDM complains about the DRG taking too long to pull and decides to pull. Not with Dia or anything simple.. but with FIRE II. The RDM also did not enfeeble (I was doing Dia II and trying to stick Paralyze w/ my Ice Staff.. didn't stick half the time anyways), looked like they only had a Dark Staff out of the elemental staves, and was saying that she was a BLM. Oookay.

So after a little while with the new setup we're doing ok, my lvl 75 PLD friend comes by my PT to hang out a bit, and they all think he's there to PL or so(which he wasn't, but he did help out with curing a bit). I sit down to rest after a fight and my PLD friend comes over and positions himself to where it looks like I'm sitting in his lap, and the leader makes a comment:
DRG: Taruun you having fun?
Me: Yep
Me: Tons of fun.
DRG: Well I guess that shows what Tarus are good for.
Me:.....

(If you don't get it.. PLD friend was Hume and I was Taru.. and I think you can get the picture of what they meant.)
I left shortly after.

There's nothing wrong with having a PL at any level as long as you have a good party that can do their jobs anyway. I have two characters, one of which is a 75 WHM that I keep around on my laptop to help PL my other character while I'm leveling low level jobs. There's not a thing wrong with having a PL to keep chains going, it just helps the exp. Now if you've got a PL and all the people are like "I don't have to do my job now that you have a PL around," then you run into a problem, but it's with the players, not the PL.

I can understand having a pl if theres no whm or some such, as long as the pty still functions as a pty. This is a part that I left out of my first post (prolly cause I was upset and tired>.>; )but I'm serious when I say the drk was trying to pull hate. Every single time that he use any of his ja, he would use them at once, right before I was able to get off a second voke. If it wasn't for the pl (that he was dual boxing) he would've died everytime he did that.

The people in the pty just treated it like a free for all since we had a pl. When looking for members, the one that had the pl just said, 'It doesn't matter, we have a pl'. Thats what really irked me. I think he dual boxed the pl just so he could pull stupid stunts like that and he didn't have to play his job right. There was even a whm lfp when the leader was making the pty...but didn't get them 'cause we have a pl'.

On the plus side the gil seller pty next to us had their mages die like 3 times each =P
