Subjob question

[Glamdring]

ok, I'm wierd, I solo /thf, mostly. Evasion is evasion, I don't really care where I get it from. I do care about having the gil to pay for sushi and the like, so against almost anything but evil weapons /thf gets the nod from me. I am practicing my /nin to use ninjitsu for yellow !! procs, but mostly I stay /thf solo. I have seen no difference to my survival (I never die solo either way), but not using shadows I've managed to go up 7 full skill levels of parry in the last 2 months, I'm 203 now! My SJ doesn't seem to have an effect on my skilling throwing tho' as I hit 266 /nin today, but with slower skill-ups compared to my /thf earlier in the day.

umm....going /thf does not increase your evasion. The evasion bonus traits do not stack. Also, it's easy to cap evasion using gear on dnc, regardless of subjob.

Not to mention, Evasion isn't going to shield you from a Thunder V, Burst II, etc etc.
/THF is a bad sub for DNC, only useful for TH but that's a universal /THF thing.

At 80+, I would argue /WHM becomes your de facto soloing sub when you don't need shadows. No other sub offers anything close to being able to Haste yourself, and even a 1 MP/tick refresh from a manual or a Sanction/Sigil latent is enough to keep a Haste cycle up permanently, to say nothing of -na spells.

(I can't believe I'm arguing for this.) Don't forget Stoneskin and Blink. And there's something to be said for the 15% -mdt from Shell II.
