So last night I get an invite as RDM Main Heal. Now I really dislike main healing but I was desperate to grab 60 - 17.5k tnl.
By the time I grabbed sanction + refresh, everyone had joined and we all headed out to Wajoam Woodlands. Empty camp, bit of a wierd setup I think as well. RDM (me) BRD BLU BLU PLD NIN - NIN was tank, so PLD was trying to play DD.
Well, it was only Refresh x 3, seeming as PLD didnt need to heal. Haste x 2, as BLUs hasted themselves. So that was great, plus there really wasnt much healing going on. This left me with with full attention to enfeeble and MB. BRD was excellent with Ballad until she got tired, then we noticed that she seemed afk a lot (fell asleep??) - shortly after she disbanded.
Replacement - BLU.
Again, exp was flowing, everyone was happy and having a laugh (no more silent parties).
Then PLD left, which was replaced with another RDM. Whilst he refreshed, I enfeebled and hasted NIN, and we both did whatever afterwards, be it rest or nuke/MB.
The great thing was, I asked the party to humor me by letting me melee for 2 or 3 fights. They hurmored me, and it was fun to say the least. I missed a lot, but bearing in mind I was in full AF with no +Acc, undercapped sword skill and no melee food, I think I did pretty well - when I DID hit, I hit for same damage as the others. Ok, so they slaughtered me on WS's (I couldnt even let one off)...
Anyways, 3 hours later, 18k exp later, and Im 60 with a small buffer XD
