OMG, it's your mother!

BLM:75 WHM:72 SMN:44 THF:75 WAR:61 RNG:44

Here he is! The only single job that is up to straight up tanking a level 8 Besieged Mega-Boss by himself. That's right it's a THF/WAR! Perfect Dodge > Provoke > Take that with my dagger!

So you're wondering what would you like to merit. I think that way some times too, but mostly what I want is to merit BLM. I really would like to merit Dagger some more though so that I could take him through the Besieged campaign more easily and even against the Notorious Monsters. However, I find that BLM is what I feel the need to improve.

With Elemental Skill maxed more, I would be able to wear the Weskit and hit more often and that would give me more satisfaction in nuking since the way the Weskit looks IS rather snazzy compared to the "doombringer" cloak that I usually wear. I think the cloak is superior mind you, but therein lies the dilemna, more ice potency and wear the cloak or more elemental skill and wear the weskit. Hard decision.

Right now I am forced to wear the cloak so of course what I want is to wear what I can't wear cuz it's stupid to wear it. That's perhaps the title of my favorite country song.

I am leveling my WHM with some few efforts and even though I can't abide hearing people with their comments in parties, I have to think that they ask me for stuff cuz I suck at the job so much. Who knows. I do know that I like the job more once people shut up.

Haste on mages is like using haste on Paladin. I have found it's not so necessary so even though I can tell the difference when I cast, I don't cast Haste on myself anymore. I also don't Haste Paladins. If they can't keep hate with the blob of MP and tools that they have, I just stop hasting everyone else too. Turns out that works better sometimes. Haste really does use up a lot of mp and hasting 4 is like a gob of mp. I just won't do it unless I have a lot of support for healing from others. I realize Paladins have problems with people that won't play along so those people that pull hate, they stop getting haste. Those tend to be the monks and darks and thfs sometimes. You have to wonder HOW can a thf pull hate knowing what I know. You'd just HAVE to do it on purpose for god-knows-what reason.

Today I worked on getting my Map for Caederva Mire. I have had the printout for a while and that's usually how I finally get out and get stuff done is when I have a whole lot of time to think about it. It was looking rather grim at first and since the printout sed that 3 75s could kill it, I was of the mindset that as WHM/WAR, I might could tank it if someone else could like 2 hr and kill it off quickly. But thankfully that didn't happen. In about an hour we had 8 people all 70+ raring to go and the kill was a rather simple one. We could have killed like the behemoth though with the mob we had. We had 4 BLMs 2 WHMs a WAR and a THF. Needless to say, I didn't have to tank. There was sort of a delay cuz the first person to read the cs came out early and the rest of us were still in cs while his hp turned yellow! But we caught up just fine.
