Even post Ranged Attack nerf, a RNG can match a BLMs damage output. But with basic jobs? Only a MNK on Hundred Fists.Pheonixhawk wrote: Can any other job deal as much raw damage as a BLM..... or is blm the only non advanced job that can make a mob scream mommy?
Ah yes... DRKs. People chose DRK to do damage, not to hold back, and certanly not to enfeeble. But every Absorb spell weakens the prey. I personally will kiss any DRK who leads with Absorb INT. Haven't found one yet.Keavy wrote:Most Dark Knights have two huge problems that annoy me to no end: They forget to shut off Souleater after a Skillchain and cannot restrain themselves when it comes to damage. As a WHM these two situations are especially bad for me because not only do I have to expend MP that I could use to prolong our Exp. Chain but I also run the risk of pulling the hate they pulled if they went overboard with the damage. This is where experience as a mage comes in handy. As White Mage they see why we bitch so much when they try desperately to keep the DRK alive to keep them from dying and end up either dying, exhausting their MP, or some combination of the two. Red Mage teaches you about enfeebles and which to use. DRK's have Drain and Aspir and if you keep Dark Magic skilled You can feed off the monster and be amazed at the "No downtime" for you.
As WHM or RDM main healer, I haste the tank ONLY. I refuse to spend 40 MPs to help other DDs steal hate and make me blow even more MPs Cureing them.
WHM MPs sets the limit on chains. The less MPs your WHM expends per battle, the longer you can extend the chain.
