/whm endgame????

[Caspian]

I read on another forum that /whm was viable sub endgame. At first I figured it was a joke or something, but it was referred to again, this time in reference to the wyrms. What exactly is the point of subbing whm endgame? Surely not to backup heal. Is it for the mnd boost on holy's? Does it really change the additional dmg that much on holy bolts to offset the lost str from /war or /nin? I'd never heard of this until last night.



Also, saw some ss's of a rng subbing warrior on kirin and hitting in the mid 100's and criticalling for 200. It was with zerk and minuet, but its still damn good dmg. He said w/o zerk or min dmg was in the 40's if I recall correctly. He only died from pulling hate once. Looks like my worst nightmare has come true and I'm going to have to lvl warrior again. Oh well, here's to doing kickass dmg once more.

RNG are pretty worthless on all the CoP wyrms, as they all heavily resist ranged attack damage. I suppose WHM SB would let you do things like Viruna yourself if you get plagued by Tiamat's Tebbad Wing, or Curaga the party if you get Sleepga'd by Vrtra... but I dunno. Seems pretty flaky to me. Weak Stoneskin is of moderate use since it absolves the enmity problem of healing you,,, I guess. Not sure that's enough reason to use RNG in a wyrm fight. I know it wouldn't be my choice (I'd much rather have, say, a DRK/WHM in that slot. Damage, Stun, better base MP pool, can cast Aspir and Drain too).

Yeah, I knew ranged attacks sucked against them. Extra MND was the only really viable thing I could come up with. Seems you'd be more of a burden trying to backup heal than anything else.

correct, though when I did go as rng I subbed war for 400 damage slugshots.

Re: /whm endgame????

if plds were tanking fafnir id go rng/whm to save whms MP, it was also nice on Behe BC99(he is pretty easy to dodge even if your kiting him). As for CoP wyrm, rng was probably better off exping another job while there LS killed them, expecially now lol.
