DD's don't ask for heals... erase on occasion, but those boss fights there needs to be good communication and quick. Translate isn't sufficient, and if you need further explaining... play a whm in a Skirmish 3 and you'll see what i'm talking about. Positioning is very important, when to use sacrifice are the main things that don't translate for crap.

Edit: What program are you using to translate that JP? If I could understand half the crap that JPs don't auto-translate it might be a viable option.

Words like "Tumz is Paralyzed" come up on my chat log in English no matter what the nationality of players I'm with. Enfeebles you often tell from animations. HP totals are displayed in numbers and color coded based on percentage of max. Most of the time, I know exactly what I need to do to the players because it's obvious. If I miss something, they're never shy about asking. Simple phrases like "Stona", "Petrified", "Haste", "Paralyzed" etc., get the point across easily. If a player doesn't feel like communicating that, it's their loss, but they're usually not. There's nothing you need to explain about simple concepts like "cast this spell on my now please".

How did youget those translations? Every time I try copy and paste into Google Translate I get gibberish. The Japanese characters paste, but the English translation is nonsensical.

I didn't use anything to translate. I can understand the basic FFXI terms in JP. Such as the lotting rule, the mission BC, skrimish, and jobs. I can read Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji. I don't know much about grammar, but I can read the terms so I just put the terms together.

Positioning and when to use sacrifice shouldn't require explanation, ever. It's called wiki, FFXI common sense and understand mob TP move additional effect. If I play WHM, I'd be pissed if DD ever ask for anything in /p chat. Because that means I'm too slow for -na/erase/sacrifice, and that's fail on MY part. Most of the time, DDs needs sacrifice because certain move made DDs need sacrifice. Just use it right after the move after it appear in the chat log. Same deal for every erase and -na. Always use erase/-na/sacrifice after certain TP move(which you can read in chat log), not when DDs ask in /p chat. By the time DD finish typing something in /p chat, it's already considered too slow if you remove anything after they type.

Positioning is the same too, WHM should* know where to stand. Exactly which mob/NM that requires further explanation?
