I must agree with you Capriciousone, but at the same time, i disagree. You see, even if you have a fierce attacker, that has a great sword, if you have a dagger, you might do as much Damage as ur NPC, and you will. But at the same time if you gave a dagger to your NPC it does little dmg and give too much tp to mobs.

In that case I would switch my fellow to Soothing healer as it will spend most it time healing you and maybe bebuffing the mob to reduce the tp feed. Also unless the mob is NM why are you worried about tp anyway as most regular mobs I never worry about anyway. Sometimes I think people worry too much about stuff like tp against mobs bc no matter what you do you're feeding it tp and every hit that it lands on you is gaining tp as well. If i remember correctly reading an article on FFXIcylopedia.org about TP and Magic attacks give even more tp than regular attacks. In addition when you factor in the base damage of the weapon and the delay all weapons give about the same amount tp to mobs anyway. A Great Sword with a 444 delay with a base dame of 82 gives about the same tp to the mob as a sword with a 224 delay and dmg of 39-41. The only real differnce is that you would get more tp at once with a Great Sword than you would with a normal Sword.

In any case in general you should be dealing more damage to the mob than your PC regardless because it can only goto 95 and we can goto 99. So overall our base damge with/without weapon is higher than our npc. Also if you dual wield like I and give your npc a one handed weapon and a shield you will generally stay the priority on the mobs hate list unless you just really suck. As a result I generally am feeding more tp to the mob, damaging the mob harder and more often and ws more often than my npc to keep hate off it short of me being slept, paralyzed, stunned, or petrified.
