Why I play WAR/WHM

Uzor said:
you know, in all honesty, WAR/WHM is an extremely good backup tank/backup helper on things like Tiamat and Jormungandr =/ Just make the WAR/WHM cast Curaga II instead of the WHMes. Saves them a lot of hate, and the WAR's won't get eaten up with defender and DEF gear on.

besides, the PLD can cover the WAR when he takes hate. It actually works quite well.

I think I might of first met you around this time. But my memory doesn't remember most pt members.

I was a 30WAR/14MNK with a GS 4tw. Then when I dinged 30 on Meezschrst I had learned better and was 30WAR/14MNK
 
If your tank is any good, Curaga2 (and especially Curaga1) shouldn't generate enough hate that you can't Voke or Flash your hate back. So um, eh... I've done Divine Seal+CureIV on a PLD and didn't get hate, and getting hit for 100dmg with a capped Healing skill interrupts my PLD's Cure. So ... yeah...

It works, although I'd limit it to somthing like jormungand that AOE's like a motherfucker as opposed to tiamat, but it can and has been done on tia as well. But I prefered /drk after we tried /whm on jorm a couple times mainly because of stun and souleater. Depends what your setup is though.

who said main tank, you said war/whm for backup tank and backup healing. i was agreeing. Any tank/whm works well as a hate stablizer and backup tank for when wyrms AOE.

Yeah, but over the course of an entire HNM fight, Curaga's realyl isn't a good idea as WHM :p

Well, I suppose that could work, didn't think about that :p Although WAR can get quite a lot of +MP equipment, and more +enmity then NIN can get

The way we did Tiamat and Jormungand, was PLD/WAR PLD/WAR WHM/SMN RDM/SMN WAR/WHM BRD/WHM, and that set up alone could hold Tiamat and Jormungand forever as long as there's no links. Replace 1 PDL/WAR with another WAR/WHM and you have the perfect set up, and I believe that's how both IRON and BlueGartr does it.
 
Bah, Curaga1 is my remedy to only Sleepga, anyway lol.

What, didnt you hear? Thats why SE made the BLU job in the first place!

Healing Breeze ftw!
 
NIN/BRD ftfw for pure hate.
 
Getting pure hate is good and all, but that is only half of tanking. The other half is hate control which is where most other jobs fall out on the whole tanking spectrum.
 
While were talking about sucky combos, I was Rdm/war when i first hit 20 ;o
 
You might want to check out this guy's SMN guide too:

I've been seeing many summoners not playing their jobs respectively lately by posts and such, and just thought I'd make this for those that need it.

Ten Tips:

1) Don't ever summon an avatar unless its to two-hour.

2) When the tank loses health points be sure to cast Cure I, Cure II, or Cure III. This is very important because if the tank's health points reach zero, then that means he's dead.

3) Tell the RDM not to bother casting Refresh on you because you already have Auto-Refresh.

4) Be sure to always stand in one spot.

5) Don't talk in parties because you'll distract other members from doing their job. It's okay to respond to them if they ask you a direct question.

6) Be sure to cast protect and shell on ALL party members.

7) For your gear and food, concentrate on MP+ and MND+ gear, and nothing else.

8) Don't ever sub anything but WHM.

9) Even if there is already a main healer in your exp party, do not summon avatars. Instead, save the MP for back up healing.

10) Have Fun!

When I first started I was WAR/RDM. Did you get unrelenting ridicule like me? XD
 
I was in a 30 or so pt with a RDM/WAR that was tanking with phalanx, stoneskin, and defensive gear. It actually went pretty well.
