Duo SCH+ ????

is just for farming items for AF3,atmas ect ( we both are returning players so no "awesome" gear :( )

i was thinking in Nin,dnc, thf, bst?

i have nin at 90~ , but wont mind leveling thf or dnc (49) or level bst.

Thf has TH its a plus , but nin/war or even nin/dnc i feel more tankish and can let the sch nuke while tanking and selfhealing...

bst is the most safe i guess , but looks slow.... and sch will just be there for debuffs/buffs while bst pet tanks ?

any advice is welcome ^^

Atma: Out of those four, Nin/War. With merits/gear you can get all but one red proc, assuming you have Ark Scythe. 3 Staff merits give you enough skill to use the 150 Staff WS(Sun or Star? Can never remember).

Seals: Thf/Nin out of what you have listed. Blu/Nin is useful as well(TH2 + Blu unique procs + Nin Procs) but that wasn't listed.

Bst is slow, and if you actually have other people with you, offers pretty much nothing over the other jobs you listed. Not a lot of use for this job while duoing with a sch.

thf/nin + BLM/whm should honestly cover you for most af3+1/2 items if u have access to that.

or is BLM not an option and they only have sch?

Sch/War would be great for the procs, but losing haste from sub could really hurt.

Only way to get Koki is if you give up your Supp earring.

thanks for the answers.

2 questions :



why blm over sch for procs? its beacuse blm can use scythe?


what about thf , isnt needed ?

Blm over Sch for seal proc, not red. Blm doesn't get Shadow of death naturally anyways(not sure why they can use scythes at all).
Can't think of anything a nin can tank that a thf(or any job) can't, so I think it'd probably be fine either way. But if it is just to get atma, there's no real reason to take a thf over a nin.

The cactrots in Altepa come to mind also.

For reds i've seen a nin/dnc + war/whm killing Amarok so i asume that set up could hanlde a lot of targets, nin/war+healer works too.

For yellows, blu/nin + blm/brd or /whm, depending on target, is my favourite set up. Nin, Thf or Dnc are good also.

Anyways, to start up i'd probably get nin+thf in one character and whm or sch+blm on the other, that's enough to make your way through abyssea, after that you can start working on different combinations.

yellow procs are covered by the sch right?

Blm gets more

nope not all of them are covered by sch.

-3,
-4
-ga3
-am1
brd song
nin spell
blu spell

blm gets 4.
sch gets 2.

BLM/BRD and BLU/NIN can cover all yellow procs.

You still miss the ones from whm on lightdays and it's pretty hard to land kurayami on the majority of mobs on darkday, but yes, avoiding those days you got everything.

ah true, dispel is missing also, totally forgot about it. It's on the same bag as kurayami anyways D;

Bst is very safe and worry free, just send pet and start to proc (need dual guard and pet pdt gear). however you will need a mule nin/war for red.

For seals blm/brd (avoid light days). that's how i used to do it. with a blu outsider most of the time
