When so a rdm can do the job better then a whm for simple fact that a whm has to rest and rdm does not. Cure V is overkill in a dd cannon and you get divine veil what every 8min? the reason the 2 mage/ 3 dd/ 1brd work so well because each can take care the dd so the dd all have haste and para when they need
I can call what mobs you will lose your chain on with that setup. The THF and MNK/NIN mobs have high evasion, and with 3 melee you're asking to lose your chain...I've seen it happen with 3 elite melee. If you're only gonna use 3 melee, then use 2 brds, don't have 2 healers.
I said both jobs CAN do it, its just easier for WHM...RDMs that are with my cannons run out of mp MUCH more often then WHMs.
I already said hell that Divine Veil is a 10 minute recast, but it saves chains. You're fighting wyverns and paralyze hits everyone @75% HP, you're SoL. A WHM also enables BRDs to sub rdm, which cuts their cast time even more.
Having 2 Healers in a party will NEVER enable quicker kills then another melee, how can you argue that?
Also, as Uzor pointed out earlier, don't forget the Buffs that WHM gives are much more mp efficient AND stronger then a RDMs buffs. If you don't know why this would matter, then don't argue anymore. I know RDM CAN land PRO/SHELL IV on everyone, but the mp spent on it while keeping up with other buffs and cures drains MP quickly...
RDM CAN'T SUB BLM, RDM CAN'T SUB BLM. RDM CAN'T SUB BLM. Read my posts please. When you're spam casting spells, Conserve MP is HUGE.
Cure V is NEVER overkill, read when I said to use it. You fight a BLM mob that opens up Diaga II before silence hits (since you debuff the mobs), then rushing drubs 10 seconds later...you're gonna need a Big cure. A THF mob triple attacks, then does the dancing edge type move right afterwards...LIKE I SAID...2x's Cure IV is a loss of mp and time you could be resting. A WHM resting ISN'T a waste of time, its good play...Resting 1 tick here and there to keep your MP up isn't a waste by any means, I'm not saying full heal when I say "rest"...
Will, it wasn't a bash on you, you've admitted how hard you have to work to keep up sometimes, rappa doesn't and rarely drops below 600 mp lol ;;
Please, read the posts in their entirety, I'm tired of explaining things like you're a kindergartener (edit: I meant this to Hellstorm not you will lol)
