well said, i hate it when a party is getting good xp from chaining VTs and Ts, well over 6k/h and one of the whinny newbs leaves cause they are only getting 80-130 xp a mob. Its about the overall numbers people, the xp per mob doesnt matter when ur chaining up to 10

seriously you think 5 rng and a bard would work just bouncing hate with shadows?

might have to give that a try.

Oh it works all right.

I dont think the Mob will bounce around for long either.

More like crawl and gravel in pain until it dies.

Actually, WAR is a great DDer with the right equipment, I c an post some parsers of me outdamaging rangers if you want me to

the thing is people dont appreciate the dmg a warrior can do at higher lvls, when they think warrior, they think tank, not DD, so i guess its ignorance rather than discrimination

WAR is the most versatile DD and with the best equipment will normally out damage RNGs.

wrong a ranger with all Ratt gear will by far out dmg war in end game lol. just most ranger think they should load up on Racc gear instead of Ratt and str. have you seen a war do 2k WS 1k barrage 2k WS 300 SC lol I don't think so

1. Arrowburn ROCKS...very easy to get 7k+ per hour (4rng, whm, brd or 5rng, brd)



2. This is laughable....Run a parser and you will see....only job that comes close in damage are mnk (very good gear) and blm (well paced caster that hits MB's)



3. No argument there...War's can do GOOD dmg at all lvls...not great but good.



4. It is so, so sad when ppl don't realize this... Chaining VT's and T's is your bread and butter exp (unless you are in an Arrowburn, Manaburn, or Bonecrush party)



5. I've ran parsers for over a year when lvling Rng and the ONLY time I've been outdamaged is by a Mnk and a Blm and trust me it's not often....I'm fairly sure the rng didn't have the gear he was supposed to or was using an xbow which lowers his overall dmg for the benefit of the party (i.e. status bolts). Other than that situation you would have to reference a lvl that your war was outdamaging the rng in your party... Rng's from sidewinder/slugshot point on pwn...

You need to be beaten. 2k an hour is worthless. If the party isn't makeing at least 3k an hour it isn't worth the time.

EDIT: Arrowburn is ok but I am not sure how it works under new Ranger situation. Manaburn is where its at >.>

lol...manaburn with any job (5 BLM +1 puller that can be anything) for much better exp. Last weekend I scored 35,000 exp (around 7k an hour) in one day. If anyone has ever beaten that on this forum, how I ask you?

my best was 7.3k/hr
all jp but me
nin/war nin/war blm/whm blm/whm sam/war(i think maybe /thf) war/mnk
quite nice i average 5.5k-6.5k/hr anything lower becomes a skillup pty if im not leader or if i am i just boot ppl till i get my target exp for lvl range.
A little mean.. maybe but the rest of pty apperciates it 95% of the time.

as a BRD 55 I solo quite easily when I want to, thank you ~_~

It's just not as fast as PTs ^_^

the most exp I have ever got was 12k in 1 hour and the strongest I fought at 62 with a blm was a EM and u can solo anything if u got all your skills up there

other then that a 2k party is very very bad
I make that soloing at any time

and I getting a job to 75 in less then 45 days so I know how to get exp

job 65 blm 32 whm 28 drk 20 war 20 pld 22 smn 10 brd 5 thf

2k per hour lol
4k per hour great
6k per hour fricken aswome
more then that your kicking royal a$$

Good PT setup without adv. jobs (didnt say GREAT)

war x2 (sub mnk if possible)
