Re: Selphiie's Guide To Party Leaders
lol. I only get invites on RDM lately when I'm trying to get back into alliance after d/c. >_<;
Agree with the general flow: take those looking first, only ask those not seeking if can't make a reasonable party from those seeking. Be polite, don't get angry if turned down.
It's a good idea, but may want to condense it a bit.
"Ask a member if he would be alright pulling before heading out .(Somepartymember â—€Fishingâ–¶ OK?) That way he can grab a range weapon and ammo first if he doesn't already have it. Avoid asking members with MP (DRK can do it, especially with Refresh), shouldn't be asking DRG or MNK for the role at all."
I find asking tank to pull is generally a bad choice, especially NIN tanks for some reason. Provoke pulling is non-optimal, but can work; the puller better not use WS in the first 30 seconds. (Without enmity gear/food, the enmity from Provoke fades away in 30 seconds nearly completely.) WAR isn't a bad puller at any level; they are always using /NIN anyway, might as well make them spend a few shihei.
The problem with using a DD as puller at higher levels is that the good parties do not need a lot down time to recharge MP, so it make more sense for a DD to be flailing away instead of disengaging, then running around to bring in the next victim. At lower levels, though, the mages can use the break anyway, so stick to players with good damage mitigation (armor, Utusemi, flee, evasion, etc.) as pullers.
