Ancient magic vs yokodama

[Cri]

OK THEORETICAL QUESTION!!! If u use yokodama before u have a mage uses ancient magic will the paladin still hold agro? :| :| :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

it can possibly i have a thf and blm. sometimes you can not even get hit doing ancient other times it will seem like it killed you 10 times over. to take the hate back it would have to be a ws hit with yoko after ancient. but most likely the monster would have moved smacking the blm so you would miss it. also ancient is hardly used in pts massive mp waste and slow cast. i only use when pt is insanely fast or i lvl up

Uhhhh....yeah can some one repeat that in english? Or even japanese please?

What Zoey is saying is that if you use Ancient Magic, the monster will run away from the Paladin and start attacking the Black Mage who is standing in the back with the rest of the mages. In order for yokodama to work, your tanker and thief needs to be in a certain position, so unless your PLD and THF are quick your BLM will be dead long before you can get back into position to restore order.

In fact, you wouldn't even be able to Yokodama, unless your intent is to get the BLM killed. It would just be a normal Fuiuchi combined with Damashiuchi used on the PLD standing behind the monster while the BLM tanks.

Basically, unless the THF uses the fuiuchi + damashi abilities very quickly after the BLM casts Ancient Magic, the chance of survival is slim.

Hate all depends on how well your frontliners are doing. One PT the whm used 2h and the monster was still hitting me :dead: Ask evilghost for proof :p
