WHM DD?
WHM DD?
go dd if you can keep the party alive, noone is stopping you.

WHM DD within parties is not for the purpose of DDing per se. You gear to hit the mob and thus gain TP for Mystic Boon. It's just a roundabout way of gearing for MP that, if done right, makes it incredibly difficult to run out of MP.

i beg to differ...many ppl kick rdms and whms out if they even pull out their weapon...

those people are called ***. if you're doing your job by keeping the party alive, i don't give a crap what you are doing.

Sometimes its best not to feed the mob tp.

WHM now has Auspice, TP feeding isnt the issue it once was.

The other times your a BLU screaming at the monitor for it to work a TP move or three

The other times are when you are fighting Wild Rabbits outside San d'Oria when TP feeding doesn't matter >.>; lol
You're going to probably want to dual wield without the shield, subbing NIN for any random hate spikes...
Purgatory Mace and Perdu Wand will be your best friends. Also, the AF+1 hands and Rostrum Pumps should be tossed, melee in swift belt, turban and full blessed +1 and Goliard Saio. for the 26% haste cap from gear. Add in haste spell for additional 25% and you'll be a monster.
Something like this: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=30038
For Hexa Strike you'll want to get all the STR/MND you can (bring in the AF+1 hands here) as well as Optical Hat, Rev Mail, Accuracy Rings etc.
WHM with this setup can do some pretty serious DDing, on par with non-Usukane MNK's but you're going to have to really try at it.

If in a good merit burn party, feeding tp isn't too much of an issue.
Though it can be very difficult to melee, ws, (if u are subbing nin, watching shadows), macro swap, keep haste on urself, (as well others), keep people alive, watch mp.
Then, rest mp if mystic boon isn't doing the dmg necessary.
All of this goin on, can be fairly difficult to do, not saying it can't be done. But to be 1% less attentive to healing your party, is hurting your party.
Also...If someone dies, (even if it wasn't preventable.) Your *** is gonna get blamed. So..yeah.

Had a melee-rdm that wanted to use energy drain in a bird-party, and he drained like. 80ish max, decent amount of extra mp, but members were allways in yellow HP and we went sevral minute before haste got back up after it wore, and we did better when he started not to melee, so.. idk.. might just have been the player tho.
just that from personal experience melee-mage dont work very well in a meritparty (if that is the only mage).
A proper geared whm\nin will outparse a gimp mnk! (fact)

Like I always say, trying to DD as a mage is like having sex with your sister. Very satisfying when you're alone, but frowned upon in social settings.

lol ^^
I whm DD all the time. Never ever used it in meripos, but farming sea and sky on T-ITs I hold my own. Used it to solo all my eyes for o-hat as well as solo avatars quite often (except Leviathan, *** and his spring water >.<), as well as most campaign mobs. Im using Purgatory/Prudence Rod (mini k-club, lol) atm, and trying to save IS for Perdu. Not sure which combo ill use then, though. Have TP and WS sets on my page if you wanna check them out.
Necro Bump Detected!
[94 days between previous and next post]
necrobump go! But I missed thsi topic and gotta give mah input!
Whinja setup, with Mjollnir/Kraken in most situations, otherwise Perdu Wand offhand (best club next to relic. 10.83dps). I've successfully out-DD'd other DDs in my party and well, overall it's a helluva lot more fun than standing around curing since I'm able to both cure and hit stuff. Randgrith comes in handy on NMs and other mobs with high-evasion and being able to spam Mystic Boon to get my MP back means that any BRD in my party doesn't have to worry about ballads and can full-time melee songs.
I go for max haste in my TPing set, focus on accuracy for Hexa, and STR/MND for Randgrith/Mystic Boon.

You self skillchained? I don't even think /Sam can get you TP back that fast on Whm, unless you used a Ic. Wing.

doubt you could but maybe have a chance with a KC and you get lucky 8 hits in a row lol
Would have to be back to back. And if he is /Sam with a K.club, there's no way the numbers would be that high being the K.club is garbage damage-wise.
FEESHYNESS - I smells it.

in campaign you can buy wings sorry should of said that in last post. and yes it was self skillchained
DD WHM ftw.. once you have a kclub and caped and merited Club, the fun really starts when it comes to soloing as a mage, like, can solo escort for hire sandy as WHM with a kclub offhand.
I just hate that "You must prove this works before we'll let you do it" mentality.
How are you supposed to prove something works without doing it to begin with? Meh.
