DNC Merits? What should I pick?

[Infidi]

I've been using 5 Saber, 1 Fan, 4 NFR for about the last 6 months.

AF2+2 augmented pants add 1% Double Attack per Saber Dance level and having 6STR/Acc, 4% Haste, and 5% DA on my pants is pretty nice. To each their own, but Saber Dance is one of the strongest DD JAs in the game. Not meritting it at all is a waste.

By the way, /WAR's Double Attack trait does not stack with Saber Dance. You'll get 25% DA with AF2+2 augmented pants and Saber Dance with or without /WAR. Because of this, I am not sure what our ideal DD sub is. Berserk is still pretty nice, but offers nothing in many of the situations I use Dancer in (low defense enemies). SAM is a nice alternative. Maybe consider giving it a shot!

Only problem is that saber dance degrades over time. I know with the shortened recast timers it's easier to keep up, but the times you might have to heal really quick by dropping saber dance or inbetween recast times on saber dance or if you're full timing fan dance ( for whatever reason lol) / war helps you keep the constant DA there. ^^

I mean im not gonna lie. If im doing Events on Dnc which is rather often, ( Sometimes its hard to convince friends that i want to go pup sometime) I end up tanking a lot... the party setup won't contain more than 1 healer (or less...). As im not planning to put pressure on that Healer. My tanking set contains AF2+2 Hands (Meele Set Af2+2 Legs) so i went with a 3/3 Split on Fan and Saber since i need both frequently.

Seems like theres no ultimate 'Right' way to put points in here. i depends on what you are doing mainly (so put the points in for your gear if you have the gear that is.) If your not Tanking a good bit.... Fandance is a waste of Haste Samba.

Or, you can just let the healer cure you, which is their job. If you're putting "pressure" on them, then they're probably just a poor healer.
