Second post! Oh how NIN loves these jobs! (omgflame)

I have a post under this that's new by the way, I just separated this into two.

Okay, I have a few things to say about my parties I've had on NIN.

First one:

NIN/WAR, THF/NIN, DRK/WAR, DRK/RDM, WHM/BLM, BRD/WHM.

Seems simple, right? Well it kind of was. We started off in Sar(tab) with a WAR in the place of the DRK/WAR. Weapons were weak, with meat (<3) I was hitting them for 10-25 damage a hit decently often, and my Retsus were doing 80-120. Love love love love. However, our THF was slow on SATA, so our WAR got pummeled. I died once here due to a 324 Smite of Rage followed by a double attack. Stupid high damage WS. EXP was fine, but once our DRK dinged 33, we had to leave to go to E. Altepa. Here, our WAR and THF left, whom we replaced with a DRK and a THF. So, we got to camp, and things had high(er) evasion, so I popped a Jack-O-Lantern. Yay for evasion. I was hitting fine though (they checked low evasion with food/madrigal), but not hard. I was doing 5-20 damage on these in DD gear, and Retsus did 20-80. Not too shabby. Our THF had the EXACT same problem as our other one, it took like 20 seconds for her to SATA. Gah. Here I died twice due to Stomping (-_-;) for 200+. Tanking Dhalmal at 31-32 = no. Party disbanded, I was 32, about 100/5.8k in. -------------------------------

Next party, next day! Set up is: (At Garlaige, 31-33 at first) NIN/WAR, THF/NIN, DRK/WAR, RDM/WHM, WHM/BLM, BLU/NIN. Oh. My. Gawd. Let me do pros of this set up first. . . . . . THF! I can held hate a little better. WHM and RDM! Healing and dispel/erase. It looks good on paper! Our DRK is in TBH, so he was good. =P Cons! Our THF consistantly hit SA onry, so 50% of the time I didn't have TA. THF was 33, but was using sword main hand. ; ; WHM would *not* use Erase, which caused me to have evasion down ALMOST ALL THE TIME. An easy 95% of the time it hit me because of this, where as the other 5% of the time I didn't have it on, it had like a 66% hit rate. Our RDM had nearly full MP all the time, didn't back up heal, didn't enfeeble or dispel unless asked. So, you may ask, what did he do with his MP? Perform half-assed nukes with a sword on. Gah! Our BLU was /NIN, but didn't use Utsusemi. He also had no food. . . . It wasn't as bad as it sounds, however it could have been much better. After a while, our RDM said " gotta go" and left. Our leader got a RNG apparently, but I didn't know so I asked if an LS mate's BLM could go. Too bad he got the RNG... The RNG has full NQ Noct gear, an Assassin's Bow (. . .), and some Crossbow that he only used Acid Bolts on that did 10-15 damage (I didn't even look). Okay, problem number one. LOLSHORTBOW. Also, he had a bad habit of using Barrage RIGHT when the mob got to camp, messing up SATA. Needless to say, the only way he pulled hate was through that. Also, the funny part about it is he has a 71+ SAM, so he could afford to have good gear. >_>;

Lawdy lawd I have had enough bad people in my party for a while. I had to go, so I said I had 15 mins then left after that. <3>
Oh yeah, here's a few pics of my equip with my macro exec's copy and pasted. Lollazy.
