Re: Ballista 1 on 1

RNG/NIN can also easily come out on top with Bloody Bolts and Sleep Bolts against most classes.

Not really since you get penalized for gear swaps in Ballista. And you'd be surprised what a WHM/DNC or WHM/NIN with a Kraken Club can do :3

Well I think that can be said for alot of jobs, given a Kraken club...

Re: Ballista 1 on 1

Well, my personal experience has been with PLD/RDM. Given a minute to buff up before the fight (Stoneskin, Phalanx, Blink, etc) personally I don't think any melee can beat the combination. I never do ballista, but recently I started playing with PLD/RDM, and this is what I have tried so far:

THF/NIN - Thf was using Mercurial Kris... He did 0 dmg for the entire fight... Literally killed himself too. Mercurial Kris + Triple Attack on a target with blaze spikes = death. He dropped dead before my tp even reached 50%. Didn't even need to recast Stoneskin either. (I believe my Phalanx was absorbing all his dmg and my stoneskin never took a hit)

SAM/DNC - 0 Dmg for most of the fight, since he was hitting for 0. He used meditate, and used the TP to heal, then used Meikyo Shisui, first weapon skill did 0 dmg, second did around 37 (took stoneskin off) third did 300. That was all the dmg he did before dying.

DRK/WAR - interesting fight... Nonetheless the DRK lost (In addition to Stoneskin/Phalanx/Blink then you have Flash/Reprisal/Shield Bash/Sentinel etc etc.

WAR/NIN - One-handed weapons have no chance where 2-Handed weapons do 0 dmg.

That was all I tried. However, PLD/RDM is bound to have some serious trouble with a BLM, SCH, or a RDM. But, I believe any job would have trouble with those XD Sleepga II + Nukes

PLD/RDM w. capped Chivalry merits (Working on rest but that's it for now) and capped Enhancing Magic skill (unmerited).

This reminds me of a friend of mine that was telling me about how badly PLD/RDM haxx. I saw first hand how incredibly attack damage was mitigated by abilities and spells. "PLD/RDM CANNOT BE KILLED!!!" which ended up being his famous last words. Me, him, and 2 of our ls friends (DRG and PUP) went to farm me a Warrior's testimony last year. He was tanking goblins and eventually he got hit by a bomb toss that killed him along with both of my friends but somehow I survived and got the Testimony which dropped from that Goblin lmao. Of course they were like "How in the hell did we die and you survived???" They were all level 75 and I was like a level 67-68WAR.
