So I finally got WAR to 30 because I thought that the attack boost trait I'd get for subbing WAR, wether goofing off on WHM or doing an ENM or something BST...
....Cept I only get 13 or so attack on WHM (which would be...5%...which would be..1/2 that of what WAR would get main?)

God I wish I knew melee job traits worked at half power when subbed >< That's just stupid...I don't see M.Atk/Def Bonus / Acc Boost / Killer traits being half-strength when subbed, this just sucks ;.;

Says the RNG. :wink:


I'm just disappointed at WAR as a SJ. I coulda spent that time getting NIN to 37 so I could Utsu:Ni and pretend to be a half-decent tank, but NO, I hafto up WAR so now I getto pretend to be a half-decent DD. </3

Think I'll just focus on getting the 70BPs for now, maybe pick back up on DRK once I finish that..
 
Mishaela, lvl up DRK to 37 and sub it. Then...

Activate Last Resort and Soul Eater before doing Hexastrike. Watch the sparks fly!

Its an instant mage killer in Ballista and takes most Galkas to half Hbar or less. You can get Provoke on an item that gives it, so you won't depend on WAR sub for it.

It will be great for the goofing off like u want. trust me. ^^

Attack Bonus I gives +10 attack, regardless of job or subjob. There's no penalty on subbing it either as far as I know, so my AB1 as WAR/WHM is the same AB1 as WHM/WAR. Berserk & Double Attack are the money makers for /WAR.

Souleater as /DRK takes 10% of your life per hit, but only adds 5% of that to your output. So let's say as a Mithra 75WHM she's got 1000 hp. Hexa Strike would take 600 from her, but only add 300 to the WS. Not bad, but not nearly the badassedness of DRK main.

Sorry to bring logic into your lolflame. I'll go now.
 
I thought it was 10%....a raw 10 is just...crap, even 5% is better than that. Thats not only burying my hopes of it being as good a SJ I hoped, but it's dancing on the grave. :irked:

Oh well, dualwielding the Sea clubs looks a bit neater anyhow. Though I lose nearly 600 damage if I go that route. Hm.. ><

A raw 10 is just fine, considering 10 attack takes two levels of A skill in a weapon 50+. (1 skill = 1 attack)

Considering WHM gets no natural Attack boosts and relatively limited Attack+ gear options, I'd say it's a good idea.

Alternatively, you could go the DRK route. At 30 DRK gets Attack Bonus II which gives +20 (which is matched or defeated by only five pieces of gear in the whole game!)... but you don't get Berserk that way.
 
ABII gives 11 atk on top of ABI, so with a fully-levelled DRK sub you get +21 from AB's.

/WAR does offer you Berserk, Double Attack, Warcry, and... er... Provoke? For WHM soloing though, /NIN is definitely the shit. There is no shit that is more 'the' than /NIN.

Whatever you want it to say
 
Hexastrike is based off STR and MND as I recall, so sub nin and grab yourself a pergatory mace and whatnot. The stats you can gain of the 2nd weapon are gonna do you far better than a silly attack bonus when it comes to your WS. Besides, shadows are far more useful than normal WAR traits when soloing, and if you have any pieces from the blessed set, the +haste% makes for some wicked action.

Raw 10 sucks eh? Then why wear things like the Thick set? Or things like an Assault Earring?

Already have Seawolf and Sea Robber, don't think it'd be worth it to get a Purgatory..though I tend to Hexa for much higher as /WAR than I do /NIN (up to 1800 on WAR vs stuff EP or lower, whereas on NIN I'd only get up to 1400..not gonna try soloing anything higher than that unless I'm /BST or I get off my lazy butt and get NIN to 37)

And Druw, in my sentance I meant to word it as "crap, even 5% is better than that" (sorry, I know I suck at English despite it being my only language..). 10att isn't worthless, but 10% would've been so much better. Oh well, guess I'll still be popping Riceballs/Coeurl subs in the end anyways..
