Low level exp parties

[Daemon]

Mages? How many WHM know how to be patient and spam lower level cures to conserve mp rather than use the highest tier all because it heals people faster?

Nukers trying to be a 1 man show depleting MP while drawing hate for nuking too hard when spamming lowest tier can build up to better damage over time?

Then you have DDs who don't know that if they are taking too much damage to begin with they shouldn't be eager to tank a mob especially if a War or Pld is in the party.

I could go on really...

The difference here is mages and tanks function much differently in a party than solo. DD is actually pretty straight forward, and really if the DD is getting wailed on, and is not hate capped alongside several other players, would say the issue is more often the tanks fault than the DD. Not saying every time the fault is with the tank, sometimes the DD's do keep using abilities they should not.

BLM spells are pretty powerful at low level though. Especially BLM could out damage a DD through Spellcasting speed especially now that elemental adjustments have now made casting faster.

DD that does not have skills capped or does not have proper gear can still lose hate. Balance as a team is where strategy falls into play. Need to give tanker time to cause enough hate to keep mob under control and mages also need to help out by not casting too much to draw hate from mob onto them.

In which cases sometimes mages need to back off and wait for the tanker to recover control.

This cannot be learned or practiced effectively in gusgen mines when 17 other people are gang banging mobs.

Well duh. There are certain dynamics of parties that can only really be learned in them. However, can still learn most of how most jobs work without them.
