hmmm i think this may be because elementals arent the best choice in mob for a WAR, to a RDM understandably they can silence bind and aspir them and if all else fails just kite them all over the place, but for a WAR this seems crayz, try some plantoids or some bats or basicly anything that's not melee resistant or casting, u'll have a much easier time. I believe every job can solo xp you just have to pick an appropriate opponent, for MNK its obviously bones, whereas for THF bones are the worst kind of mob mess around with some easy prey of different types you'll see what i mean

as for WHM, i wonder if you could take /RDM and some drinks, and maybe try kiting bones? if not maybe experiment with /NIN and dual clubs on them if stoneskin + utsusemi is gr8 defensive combo, i know some WHMs that sub THF too sometimes for SA + energy drain type stuff although i cant really see THF helping u through dc or higher battles; but then i really despise /THF kinda biased like that.

Well I have found that WHM/BLM works best for me soloing as pointed out earlier though the real issue is that it takes forever to solo. And I also might be lacking because at my level EMs I have 40/60 chance of winning and DCs are 50/50. DCs really dont give me decent xp. I dunno I must be doing something wrong.

I dont think u should let it bother u, WHM is notoriously slow to solo and whereas with THF i can take anything up to tough fairly safely and fast i will often die to easy prey as WHM Although i am a fairly weak WHM. I guess really your main concern as a WHM as with alot of tank type jobs is being able to damage your prey reliably since this is your weakest area, aside from this i dont really know what to suggest, although you may find duoing with a DD of some kind will get you some reasonable xp and give you an opportunity to skill up. I often duo with a WHM friend of mine for this reason, duoing even match is what i find best all round.

those gobbue leech things in Zi'Tah were fun, they did some nasty dmg to me, but I had them down to half life jsut as fast, plus Sahyu healed me... woooo still not worth the 20 exp per mob, but it got me to halfway to 58, so im not complainin there.

I gotta admit this is a really interesting topic, what is a breeze for one job is hell to another. Leeches are horrific to THF at any level even dc leeches can turn very nasty very fast in my experience, and on top of this they drain and have some seriously high HP i think for THF vermin have to be the easiest, bees damselfly spider etc die very quickly and dont resist anything, gobs are pretty good too since i started macroing in a narasimha's vest for the bomb tosses etc.

Soloing mobs with EXPs is not the same as soloing for EXPs. EMs latley are 5 + mins and a full rest if I had to Sleep / Convert during the fight. I can chew through EPs, 1 - 3 mins each, doing most of my damage with Sword or Dagger to conserve MPs. 1K EXPs/hour is beyond my solo capabilites.

SNMs can get great EXPs soloing bombs in Ifrit's Cauldron. A friend got chain 2s there on VTs & ITs.

Yeah agreed, or any pet job for that matter. If i'm going for xp/hr say to get a buffer or finish amerit or something i generally do go for EPs or DCs too, like i said earlier EP wasps in ifrit's cauldren are practicly a 2hit kill and for 40~xp so 1k/hr easily on those, far better than struggling with a EM flamingo for 10mins for 80 or so xp.

Just so you know, I only touch EP even with an NPC, cuz im like sucky at anything higher.
