What is the best DD?

[Greatguardian]

Rani is a ****. And the fight is anything but a question of DDing or maximizing damage output. Inbefore brew.

Says the guy who refuses to believe Briareus can be done with less than 6 people.

Oh Pchan, you so funny.

Ukonvasara WAR/SAM is a safe bet. Ryunohige DRG/SAM is a potential contender, but I do not know if one of those even exists. Buff levels can make a difference as well, as even inside Abyssea getting full Haste buffs will cause NIN's potential to plummet compared to WAR and MNK (as DW forces them to artificially cap delay reduction and thus lose out on the benefit of added haste). At high buff levels, Verethragna MNK/WAR is a safe third behind Ryunohige and Ukonvasara. The rest just sort of fall into place after that.

Yeah sure blame the whm when the war doesn't know how to gear himself. The only one I've ever seen obviously didn't. First hit he took was nearly a one shot. Hard to save him when he's taking that much damage at a time. I'm not a war. If you guys say there is gear to reduce the damage he takes, great. I'll be sure the next time I see one die in two hits that he needs to find that gear.

Why in almost thread do i see whms complaining it is hard to keep dd alive? with cureskin, almost unlimited mana and 2500+ hp ffs just toss the cures you aint gonna pull hate and die- unless of course said dd is too gimp to hold hate, then just aquaveil yourself and tank for them by self curing lol. <aquaveil is that nifty little spell that everyone seems to forget exists>

Haven't you heard it's because the DD are blinking too much and ppl who don't know how to use macros.
