Choosing a melee job.

DRK's and SAM's are both very usefull in HNM heh if they were'nt then every one would be leveling RNG. These 2 jobs are the only ones I've seen do 700~1k dmg on WS vs Tiamat.

Yeah they might do nice damage with SA+WS, but getting that TP takes ages because they keep missing so much. Optimally the main alliance consists of tanks and mages (perhaps rng) and melee who have gained TP are cycled in and out of the alliance. Melee is just the added spice, the real killing and survival is achieved with tanks and mages. Why do you think every HNM LS has 10 of each mage type, tanks and bards and 0-2 of every melee? This is how it works against strong HNMs and don't give me any of that "you don't know what you're talking about" BS.

I know perfectly well that RNG outdamages my main job, which is THF. I also know THF is not at all desirable in almost any special battle including BCNM and HNM. I chose to play THF because I like playing THF. Not everyone play to score the biggest numbers.

Actually, meeles are useful on hnm... the ones that can trick significant damage anyway. Just one trick on a tank lets a whole alliance of mages and rangers ramp up damage a notch higher, which is an extremely powerful capability when you add up all the extra damage--the result of just 1 melee and a skillchain.

Shrug you said they are'nt good at HNM. Which is a false statement. It doesnt matter if most LS's only have 1-2 of the job. They wouldn't be in the LS at all if they were not good at all. They are good at HNM, even if they have to sub thf they still are going to out damage every other persons WS. There are plenty of add mobs around Tiamat to get TP off of so if you think it takes a long time to get 100% tp your wrong heh.
