Two SMN party, duoing.

Re: Two SMN party, duoing.

Just a few minor corrections here:



Silence isn't available till Whm lvl15 - so you won't have it on Smn till 30 (aka not so much use in Korroloka). That said Silence does seem to land well even as a subjob. I was able to Silence Tonberries in Temple Uglyface with Pld/Whm when Pld's have 0 native enfeebling skill *and* my Whm sub was gimped at only level 31. Hopefully that'll mean Silence is still useful with a Smn main job too.


You reversed the desert names (I do it too a lot, which is why I thought to check). *Eastern* is the lower level desert. It's the one with the Tele crystal and the one you exit to if you go straight down Korroloka tunnel. Western is the higher level desert, has the link to Rabao and Kuftal and is the where you exit from Korroloka if you stay on the upper path and hang a sharp right past the last bridge.

Lol, sorry Slip..i slipped up ^^
Temple Uglyface ....i like that. a lot. haha!


@SharMarali
I see you're point. I was thinking in terms of not having the carbuncle mitts. Unfortunately, they are a pain in the ass to get (pardon my horrid language ). At 49, i still havent been able to even get the Offering, let alone bribe people into helping me farm the key and fight the NM. Thus, i don't assume that people would have access to it, as i myself don't. And you're right about the charts, none of them take into account Auto Refresh.

Unfortunately, i'm at work and every ffxi site but this one is blocked....
i thought Conjurer's Ring was based on the latent effect of having low HP? or is it based on sub job? {That's Interesting}. I could be thinking of another item...i'm not a walking dictionary ^^

Also, on the comment above that you think the AF pants are mistranslated...i can double check on that if you like. I'll fire up Ye Ol JP Pol client and take a look at it. Just haven't used my japanese PS2 in forever as i never wanted to sit through the hours and hours of updates. SO yea, if you want, i'll look it up.


Bottom line is, SMN is great to duo or even solo with. Hell, at one point i was in a party with 5 SMN and a BLU/NIN (who thought he was the tank...poor fool. He was the only person in the group running around like a ping pong ball, between all the summoning/unsummoning of avatars making the mob jump back and forth...it was fun though). And don't get me wrong about BST, im not knocking the job, i just think that SMN is awesome because we dont have to charm/recharm mobs to exp...we just keep chucking blue squirrels at them until they die....but when we run out of mp...{Death}{You can have this}. All in all, these opinions of mine and others are just those: Opinions. And those are like assholes...everyone has one! (i have two...). This job is one of the more exciting jobs i've played. I recently got stuck on BLU (14+ hours learning spells, and only level 9. i should be 18 by now! hah!).

Have fun and see ya later!

It is based on having low hitpoints (I think it's around 70%, but generally speaking, if you're yellow you're good) and less than 100 TP. The reason I mentioned SJ is that WHM gets the auto regen job trait at level 25. So when you're 50 and high enough to equip the conjurer's ring, you also have auto regen if you're using /WHM. Therefore, it's virtually impossible to keep your HP low enough to use the ring unless you use another SJ, because your HP are going to be constantly going up.
