pld/war + rdm/x

[Wiseman40]

I've heard that a paladin with a red mage duo would be fairly powerful.

What are your opinions on this? Also, do you think the red mage should sub smn or whm?

It should sub smn cause you will need all the mp you can get. i guess it can work, it cant hurt to try.

also is this like the 3rd duo thread?

Re: pld/war + rdm/x

rdm should sub whm because status cures will increase what you can fight by a very large margin. Pld low damage output makes this slow going but extremely safe. If Rdm is getting hate from curing, they can stoneskin ahead of time to take the hits just fine. I would suggest some STR gear on Pld since your natural stats and some good armor will cover the defense needed for anything you'll be fighting. Greatsword may also be a good option. mid levels (after 40 with refresh) this combo has some outstanding staying power. higher levels(60+ or whenever it is you get Spirit Taker with Staff), you become unstoppable assuming no danger in a lengthy battle (some places it's in your best interest to kill fast so you don't get hordes o' links). Pld with Spirit Taker and a rdm will never run out of mp, so you're basically invincible.

if you want a powerful duo, try nin/war and rdm/whm.
pld still needs to be healed and still relys on mp. a nin just needs to be healed, when and if he does take dmg. nin dmg output can be one of the best. rdm has the stamina to last long after you get refresh and convert. sub whm to handle any status ailments.

In such long fights the Ninja will most definately spend more than a fair amount of gil for less than a fair amount of EXP.

Re: pld/war + rdm/x

very true. gil is what limits nin in a sense. but in terms of efficiency during a battle, id have to say nin trumps pld in areas such as downtime, healing upkeep and the length it takes to take down the mob.

A Nin and Whm can duo avatar fights. I definately wouldn't try that with a Paladin.
