So there's only 5 jobs that work now?

To the OP - Don't listen to anyone who says certain jobs are no good anymore. Yes, there are huge advantages in Abyssea to certain jobs, but you don't HAVE to be one of those jobs. Play they job you like the most and make friends. Chances are, someone in your circle will have the jobs you need to get things done. In the process, you might become fond of one of those more "useful" jobs in Abyssea, and level that up too.

Not to mention WAR is by far the best DD in the game (even outside Abyssea)

OP, is this the problem? Cookie cutter elitists?

There are only a few mobs in the game that can only die to a war, and they all exist in solo war bcnm.

I'm just stating fact. You can argue that something is better, but you can't beat out simple math.

WAR might not have utility like MNK and NIN do, other than red procs, but there's no possible way to beat it in terms of DD (except MAYBE Ryunohige DRGs).

There's no way around this fact. It's not like I'm telling you to play WAR, just letting you know that it is indeed the best at dealing damage, and that this fact is indisputable.

In abyssea you can play whatever you want, as long as somewhere in your party you have a WAR+NIN+WHM and, depending on your goal, a MNK, or a BLU+BLM/BRD or BLU+BLM+BRD. With just those jobs you can complete any task, and get the most efficiency out of your time spent. Can SMNx3 do the same thing? Yes. It will just take significantly longer.

I believe you have told me to switch to WAR several times. I dare say, you can't shut up about the job our your weapon. Getting you to talk about another job? Not gonna happen.

Switch to the job that fills the role you need done, don't just use the same job on everything I think is what you're trying to put into my mouth.

I.E. WAR to DD
SMN to Kite+Kill
PLD to tank Voidwatch,
etc.

He means that you can't shut up about SMN or Hvergelmir either.

I understand, I like my emp.

but I switch to WHM when we need heals, or BLM when we need stun/nukes/yellow, or MNK when we need tank/blue.

Except that WAR is not needed to DD. WAR is what you prance around on in forums. Prance for us!
