They shouldn't and I'm pretty sure it's a C+. Saw a DRK/NIN using Axes in Besieged the other day, he couldn't hit for sh*t.

I left out COR because it's not a pure DD job. COR, much like RNG, can stop shooting :roll:

PUP never pulls hate and can have curse from their automaton. They also have Evasion Bonus(es) and like an A skill in it too (I think).

BST - have Charm, Call Beast and yes Utsusemi for /NIN Axes (their best weapon).

MNK - I forgot Dodge, Counter and Counterstance, they also have a B+ in Evasion I think.
Tsybil wrote:BLU - Cocoon, Utsusemi, native Curing spells, Blink, Stoneskin, ect. from mage subjobs. Metalic Body is soon useless.
BLU have no native Enhancing Magic skill therefore Stoneskin from a mage sub is next to useless, Metallic Body would absorb a lot more damage.

Does Met. Body really absord all that much?

I've always been under the impression that it really doesn't- even at 75.

At 75 w/capped Enhancing and proper gear I can max out Stoneskin @ 350 hp absorbed. Anyone know how Met. Body stacks up against SS?

Metalic Body, at least in the 20s, is a 40 HP Stoneskin. I don't believe it gets better. Well I gues I know why I never bothered to dispell it on crabs.

I honestly believe that Stoneskin on BLU/RDM would be better than that.

Joke, right? :p Speaking from experince, a well geared Pup can outdamage a Mnk pre 41, I do not have 1st hand experince post 41. Though I can say that versus Colibri that a Rng Atk Puppet can WS for WS outdamage a Monk with Daze, and that's not even counting the Master's Raging Fists.

Then again, I was seeing and extremely well geared pup (Rajas, Peacock Charm, etc) versus Colibri, which can be killed by a stiff breeze I think. And there was a Bard in the pt, me.

But yeah, as a Puppetmaster, I can rip hate off a Nin tank unless he's totally pimped out. Which is rare.
In the end, I'm just talking out of my ass. So take it all with a grain of salt.

PUP has 2 or 3 evasion bonuses and lots of gear to add more on. In fact, most PUPs ballista in a full set of evasion gear and kick ass very well. In parties, my PUP tends to act like a DRK, gets hate from huge damage and then he gets 1 shotted. I outdamage most DDs by a fair rate. ("I" meaning both me and my auto.)

It's a shame SE is not done adding onto the job and people judge an incomplete work as harshly as they do.

60+ damage drops off, 70+ you'll be lucky if you pull hate bar Raging Fists at the start of a fight. Which is really what I'm talking about, merit parties.

Oh yeah think someone mentioned Metallic Body only being good when you first get it but a subbed Stoneskin is no better. You have the Enhancing Magic of a WHM or RDM37 at 75, which isn't enough to absorb one hit from a robber crab.

Seems the RMT are given a big slappin in the face.
The method for obtaining the items listed below has been adjusted.
The monsters that dropped these items now have a chance of dropping an EX/Rare item with the exact same attributes.

Fuma Kyahan/Speed Belt/Ochiudo's Kote/Strider Boots/Healing Staff/Eurytos' Bow/Cross-Counters

- The Notorious Monsters listed below now require a certain item to be traded in a certain location in order to appear.

Big Bomb/Alkyoneus/Pallas/Sozu Rogberry/Ullikummi

- The items listed below can now be obtained through different methods.

Cassie Earring/Serket Ring/Juggernaut
*The Juggernaut will still also drop from the usual monster, but at a lower probability.


- The “Lock of Siren's Hair” will be removed from the treasure dropped by the following Notorious Monsters.

Voll the Sharkfinned/Zuug the Shoreleaper/Pahh the Gullcaller/Worr the Clawfisted
*In accordance with this change, the drop rate of this item from monsters other than the four mentioned above will be increased.
Tho I wonder which Demi the RMT will go for next now Ulli is available to everyone...
- Certain items obtained from the Notorious Monsters holding the “Virtues” in Lumoria will now drop with 100% probability.
I hope the also mean the Virtues themselves.
I'm getting kinda sick of seeing:

You find a Hope Staff on the Jailer of Hope.
*Slices open the Shark*
Where's my Virtue!!!!
