What Heavy DD Would You Pick And Why?

No, but we can talk about BLU having AoE cure stronger than curaga III :)

Tbh I also think that BLU damage potential is lower than for example MNK, but like you nicely and sarcastically pointed out, it has nothing to do with innate traits, because BLU has tons of them.

Me Waking up: O.O;

LMAO. Thanks for all the input- It gave me a bunch to think about. i think warrior is gonna be the winner here for now. thankfully war gear can translate to other jobs for the most part so if i turn out not liking war, i'll have options.

@hideka,

This is true ffxi endgame. Stop playing and just theorycraft or shoot on other theories.

When in doubt, blame PS2 limitations.

Your 2 hour is "blame SE".

With all do respect, the whole post is pointless and has nothing to do with what you quoted me on.

The usual is expected, walls of text about how knowledgeable one is with the history of this dying game and nothing of significance is added to their responses.

Semantics aside, the lack of knowledge when it comes to “other” DPS jobs is quite noticeable across these forums, and again the argument still stands: these days, none of the classes that are able to deal damage matter DPS wise, what matters is how tactical you are during the fight.

Literally, every class has a JP button now.

Also a stoudt regen set goes a long way for SCH as main healer.

I normally take 18 monks to do end game.

You've opened Pandora's Box.

Yeah pretty much between Regen V, Phalanx and White Wind staying alive would be the least problem of this party.

But no! They will all die, because no curaga III.

nah, they all die because they can't "exploit" the ai by doing enough damage

Honestly it would be a lot better if it were a muffin button instead.

Even more reason to play mnk

I think that's what most people said.

The OP asked about playing an offensive focused jobs aka "Heavy DD", so we provided info from those. Then players who liked utility jobs felt left out and had to start moaning about how their favorite job should be included "because reasons".

Woah, how the heck did I forget who this was and how did they make it off my blist. Must of been when I was doing cleanup a few months back.

*click* problem solved.

Friendly Reminder!
You can't blacklist without first making a public statement about how you're doing it. Otherwise everyone will always remember that time you didn't get the last word in with that other person on the internet.

Not arguing about utility jobs, I did say I was nitpicking with BLU. Max BLU damage will compete with the heavies but it will never win, that's all. WS frequency is absurd and WS damage is high and incredibly consistent. It's not a heavy DD but you can at least refrain from spewing *** about it.

Hahaha! I don’t ever recall anything about what Saevel said. I think it’s his way to admit defeat..

don't recall the last time DPS mattered so much that I couldn't just go as MNK NIN or BLU even when MNK wasn't the best. Going to say never.

Warrior is fun and has a lot of different threads discussing different ways to use it. Enjoy.

I don't really like the term Heavy DD because in yesteryear it basically meant Plate Armor. In today's game, it more often means someone who can lay the smack down. But different people use the term differently and it creates a communication barrier that I perceive to be beyond unnecessary. And it's not something easily controlled because people use different vocabulary to describe the same thing.

I think threads like this often put a lot of focus on certain jobs or certain settings/scenarios that many other jobs and their capabilities get overlooked. That said, it can often be difficult to fully qualify every job's capability, and any suggestions based strictly on numbers are often discounting a huge part of your personality that we know nothing about. If you're looking at a DD job, most DD jobs have a thread maintained in their forum section with extensive write-ups and guides.

Context, fight mechanics, strategy, are all important factors, but it's pretty hard to go wrong playing most of the DD jobs right now. Ninja is probably the weakest of the DD jobs at this moment, but you can still accomplish a lot and do a lot with the job. We don't have much for Patchwerk dps checks in this game (WoW Boss - 6min timer for enrage - was not survivable) and you can always play a support job like BRD or GEO to help get past content you struggle to get invited for on a DD job.

It really doesn't, as you said. However, in any game, there will always be the tryhards who feel you have to be the top "rated" of something just to participate even in trivial content. I've even heard rumors that on some FFXI servers, there is some goofy "if you don't glow, you don't go" (I think that was how it went?) mentality or expect people to have a REMA for even doing CP.

When you start having mentalities like that, this stops being a game and becomes a chore or contest.

If I am forced to pick best Heavy D, I think there is no question...going with this guy:

Gotta be Heavy DD

I don't see any other heavy dd slapping cheeks

Vote mnk in 2020...
