ideal PT combination?

[x0imaginazn0x]

DRK/WAR
SAM/WAR
PLD/WAR
NIN/WAR
SMN/WHM
RDM/BLM

we were lvling in yutunga(sp?) and i barely had to cure people ^^. We had the Garuda Blink and the NIN's blink which pretty much tanked every monster. gotta love garuda:p exp was great too(140-200+ each monster)

Any Problems With My Party?

PAL/WAR - Front
SAM/WAR - Behind
THF/NIN - Behind Samurai
THF/NIN - Behind Samurai

BRD/WHM - Support
RDM/BLM - Support


The idea should be obvious. We have 2 secondary healers one primary and are using WS chains SAM->THF1 SAM->THF2. Lots of yokodama too. Any problems? The only change we are considering at current is to switch the SAM/WAR to RNG/SAM.

I'd really like some feedback 4 days left.

I always found this to look like an uber pt

WAR/SAM
DRK/WAR
PLD/WAR
BRD/WHM
WHM/BLM
RNG/NIN (for the two daggers)

We got our 2 tanks with a DRK, so melee if fine. RNG is like a BLM bein they nuke from a range so I'll just stick him right back there. Also, there are 3 characters that can heal, so I personally believe the healing is fine. Pt's main renki?

Shield Break>Sidewinder>Gullotine :spin: I'm a happy DRK now!

[Arto]

I Would go

RNG/THF
PLD/WAR
BRD/WHT
WHT/SUM

Im not entirely sure i havent played yet but im definetly being a ranger =P

[l)@RK-l)EVIL]

drk/rdm elvaan
drk/rdm elvaan
war/thf elvaan
thf/war hume
whm/blm hume
bard/whm hume

im insane to have 2 dark knights in my pt maybe
but i like my pt

we rock

[Alagor]

my party

BLM/SMN(me)
BLM/somthing
BLM/somthin
BLM/somthin
BLm/Somthin
WHM/Brd or WHM/BLM

Simply if you have a lot of BLMs everything Dies very very quickly

Trust me

5 Blms with Aeroga(120dmgish L23 spell)
on one poor gob is 600dmgish.

Dead in one other cast.

problem with this PT is the monster would be able to kill you very very easily, especially at high levels, and you'd be resting for a looong time inbetween battles :/

Lol how come there is barely any monks here? No one likes us? Lol.

Well, anyways, here is my party:

Mnk/Drk (Me)
Pld/War
Rng/Thf
Whm/Blm
Blm/Whm
Brd/Rdm

The paladin would be our tank, while the monk and ranger deal out the melee damage. The white mage would heal us, and would sometimes use black magic when needed, and vise versa for the black mage. Then our bard would play some songs, and could heal and deal magic damage, whichever he/she wanted.

Lol that bard combo is probably really bad huh? Sorry but I'm still learning hehe.

[Zenogias]

pal/war or nin/war
drg/sam or drk/sam
rdm/whm or bard/whm
blm/whm
whm/blm or /sum
thf/ninja

[voodoo]

i just got out of a PT which took like 2 hours to form, anyway it was:
rng, thf, whm, rdm, blm.... and our tanker? oh yes our tanker was a taru bst she wasn't using tamed monsters to tank, just herself... guess that's what happens when no one suitable is available ; ; it wasn't bad actually though, got decent enough exp.


but! soon I shall be starting a set-PT I setup which is (so far):
rng, pld, brd, whm, blm - with a thf I think it'll be one awesome PT.

[Awntawn]

Ideal party should have 3 melee and 3 mages, else it's kind of inefficient. Granted some 4 melee parties are better than crappy balanced parties, the average 4 melee party is quite shitty, whereas the average 3 melee and 3 mage party is on average, much much better.

[Nameless]

Might as well post a good party I had in ghelsba when I was 11.

WAR/THF
WAR
WAR
MNK
THF
WHM

We owned, chained a lot (up to 7 which is good), I KNOW it was because of the WHM, she was great, I mean the party split up and attacked 2 different monsters and she kept all of us alive. Later the monk left and were still pwnt. Best PT I've ever been in, all PTs have sucked thus far, I got a level that night, and am barely into 13. That pt was awhile ago, almost all parties afterward have sucked, perhaps that's why I'm stuck at 13.

Oh yeah everyone but the WHM was in CG.

[xRei]

Had a damn good PT yesterday, in fact it was so good we all added each other to friend list and promised to PT for the next few weeks or so :O

this is at low level though >.> no subjobs yet.. so the pt might not do so well at higher levels.. anyway.............

WAR (1h Sword) Galka - Main Tank and Puller
WAR (1h Sword) Hume (me) - Secondary Tank
WAR (Spear) Elvaan - Damage Dealer
THF (1h Sword) Hume - Damage Dealer (Sneak Attack + Fast Blade :O)
WHM Hume - First Healer
WHM Tarutaru - Second Healer

We chained 'tough' mobs non stop, hardly had any downtime at all, the WHMs would take turns .. one cures while the other heals, practically non stop xp (average 40+ xp per kill)

[Secrenja]

depends on levels and areas.
My favorite would have to be quifim, killing a worm for 72-100 xp, by myself :D
Anyways I think it would be
Hume RDM/BLM
Galka PLD/WAR
Taru WHM/BLM
Elvaan NIN/THF or another melee like DRK/WAR
Mithra BRD/WHM
Any WAR/SAM
^thats a party for like 45

[DannyForgette]

On the last days of beta I had a part consisting of:
PLD/MNK-(two hand sword)backup tank/backup damage<-me
PLD/WAR-(one hand sword)main tank
BRD/RDM-support/backup healer
BLM/RDM-damage/backup healer
BLM/WHM-damage/healer

This PT config gave us about 2k-3k an hour, only having to rest about every half hour. My job was to support the main tank by use cureII on him so that i would gain hate while healing him(killing two birds with one stone) while the mages could cast away, killing the monster before it could attack the casters. I went from lvl37-40 that day. Kinda a wierd combo, but it was the best PT i ever had.
