Well... i was just wondering, what type of healer would you ninja's out there rather take post lv 50, SMN or WHM? My Nin friend said to me she would rather have a SMN rather than a WHM because of all the nice buffs, and i also agree with this idea since i would give Stoneskin, Accuracy bonus and evasion bonus to the ninja during battle. i am wondering if any other ninjas out there beleive the same thing, since alot of people beleive more in the job of WHM's as healers, rather than SMN's. i would like everyone's point of view on this, thankyou :)
 
Smn gets Hastega from one of their blood pacts. I had this argument once with my linkshell and everyone thought a whm was superior since they are meant solely for healing where as a smn also has offensive capabilities. However, like veteran said, it depends on the party. I know for a fact that smns cannot be healers when you are fighting cockatrice. The spell Stona (removes petrify) is a ~lvl 40 spell and therefor a smn cannot obtain this spell and a smn would be useless to remove it when the cockatrice spams it. However, for the most part I think smn can be a good healer maybe even better than a whm provided the right circumstances.
 
haste-ga on the summon and sub WHM you get erase at 66 I think.. so after 66.. there really isn't any use for a WHM except raise II or III and stona.. in an exp party that is... in a HNM fight.. I'd say WHMs are nice for the higher level curaga and the higher raises and -ra spells.

my thoughts exactly
 
You would also want a whm for those nice protect and shell spells.
 
that would be the -ra's :D Protectra.. Shellra... but a RDM can cover the protecting and shelling as well ^^ only the tank should really be getting hit in a good exp party :D (other than AoE spells)
 
True, but he didn't say anything about having a rdm or not. I was just pointing something out that he'd be missing.
 
WHM > SMN, Just my opinion though. Yea, I've played with them and they have nice buffs but I don't have a problem evading or anything anyway so I prefer WHM. SMN is like a Mage type DRG...they are ok when that's all thats on to pick up. Like I said, just my opinion.
 
As long as I can be hasted without having to tell someone ALL the damn time and they can keep my status debuffs off all the time I could care less really.

Personally I think some WHM take Ninja tanks for granted and about 3-5k xp into the session they are so bored that they tend to forget to keep them hasted and so fresh and so clean clean...which is a bit frustrating at times because I hate having to ask for these spells constantly. Unlike SOME tanks (OMG 1 N33d R3Fr35H N0wz!!1) 8)

Fortunately my stay in the Labrynth was cake, that xp is so easy as long as your WHM is sharp, I can't think of one that let me down in there :P
