Co-operative Play! (for new players)

Re: Co-operative Play! (for new players)

Actually, if you plan to do 2 BST combos, I would suggest you do this:

1. Lvl BLM to 18 before you do anything else. Both of you. Once there, unlock your subjobs.
2. Switch over to WHM and level both of you to 37. You will never need to touch BLM or WHM again if you both do this. Once there, unlock BST.
3. Start leveling BST and you'll be just fine to 75.


It may be slightly hard to find a party as two WHMs, but you don't slide out of Powerlevel group ranges until 40s now, so it's still doable.

But! But! I thought BST these days needs /NIN, too!

(My Assault static has two players with BST75; they pretty much go /NIN only, when on BST. BTW, a BST/NIN is a terrific DDs who's great at reducing overall damage taken by the party though the use of Rampage-Snarl "tanking".)

Valkrum Dunes level parties are usually better with two healers, but these days it's hard to get a lowbie party without PL, and even harder to just get a party (at least, on Ifrit). By the Lv.25, most parties do not need two full-time healers; one WHM and one back up healer would be plenty.

Two WHM seeking just isn't a good idea Lv.25 or later, IMO. Actually with rampant powerleveling, it's just a bad idea at any level range; a lowbie party with PL is better off without WHM at all than with two WHMs. x_x

I've actually seen them nuke in parties, which was odd, but interesting to watch.

If I put up with a PL'd party on WHM I usually put myself on main enfeeble with a side of Banish-nuking. It can be awkward when there's a RDM too, though. The attentive ones shift to focusing on black magic, the inattentive ones just toss out whatever they normally would even if I just landed the same thing a moment earlier... :\

Exactly. One of the best parties I was in mid thirties was a bone party in GC with 3 WHM... we cure nuked everything to death. Toss in the odd banish for the melees, smooth sailin'.
