What is the best DD?

As far as the azjada question, i have 4 manned this- mnk, whm <me> thf and rdm. Thf and rdm were only there for procs. Easily duoed if the whm is smart enough to carry poison pots<which i always have echoes,poisons, and holy waters on hand> Most abyssea nms are lol at best. The nmk <or thf or war or w/e job we are duoing on any given day> even without a md meva mresist barely takes damage at all regardless. He goes straight dd atmas, i go whm/rdm pop an aquaveil and phalanx in the off chance i pull hate and i cure bomb my little heart out. I have yet to find a mob there that can one shot me on whm, let alone oneshot one of my dds.

To answer the previous poster, what is wrong with macroing meva gear when having the wyrm cast on you ? Are you one of those guys that explained us for 5 pages that taking 50% of the damage is better that taking 20% ?

My sig is a joke :). I am lazy, in a nutshell. I've only bothered to work on my 90 Vereth for about 90 minutes on one of my 3 day weekends a while back. Mostly it's the fact that I've been helping other friends finish their Almaces and Masamunes. I'm not one for excuses though, so I'll readily admit I've been lazy about it. I'd rather be lazy than, well, be Pchan :)

I think Tamoa was wondering where the hell you were going to get Dark resist gear, or how you would carry MEva sets for all 5 of those elements without gimping up your normal gear. This is especially true if you bring Resist atmas into the picture, seeing as you would have to pick 1 or 2 elements at most. I doubt her or anyone else was expecting a serious response from you though. Pretty much the entire FFXI endgame community has learned better.

Yeah it was more of a question to anyone advocating separate elemental resistance gearsets, and was the only NM I could think of at the time that casts different high tier ele spells etc. By all means, I wasn't saying Azdaja can oneshot you. However - Glavoid can! :P

Because you can have 4 barspells/8 carols up at once (in the case of Azdaja, and there's no light/dark based barspell).

I can carry around 4 pieces of gear for each element to resist magic down to taking 14%?
lets see, 6 elements, 4 pieces of gear, 20 EQ slots? well I guess we subtract earrings for half of it, since theres 2 elements on each earring, so 16 spots? 14 spots?

THEN since theres no light/dark bar spells you would have to carry around your MDT set anyway for those? or another 10 pieces of gear to have enough to resist them?

This is assuming of course your math is anywhere near correct. I think I'll just stick with my 4 pieces of gear I require beyond my normal DR gear to cap MDR, instead of 4 for each element+whatever for light/dark, only taking 33.5% of the damage is good enough for me, I dual box my own whm after all, and 15% isn't really all that much.

Still waiting on your answer to this.

Where's Pchan!?
He totally never answered my question! And Im bored, so here's a bump so hopefully he see's it.

But seriously, people said it in this thread a lot, about someone doing math that mythic drg was better then ukon war, where is this math located at? Can someone link me please.

Melee rdm for sure.. i mean you're a mage.. and can use magic and weapons at the same time !!!!

thats gotta be like double w/e damage any other job can do ;o

This is is impossible to answer because it depends on your playing style. If you think 1hp is low and run away then your not going to be much good at anything. If you look after your own healing or have a healer support you then again it is different. If you only want to do as much damage as you can and ignore your health then you are not going to last long. If you only look after your health and defense then you are not going to hit hard. Any job can be as good as you make it.

Accordng to the 2004 brady games start guide, drk is the best DD.
