If I ever needed to 2h back in the day on Ninja at "hard" content like "HNM" then I wasn't doing my job and couldn't be called "veteran".

Though, I also wasn't engaged on those mobs either and was using a Terra's Staff so I'm not entirely sure what your point is? Mijin is easily one of the best 2h in the game ESPECIALLY for low man situations. Any WHM that can't curebomb themselves until you're up with a set of shadows is just as terrible as people who actually ride apoc/mijin to begin with.

Also, it's a trap.
