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 is very important, when to use sacrifice are the main things that don't translate for crap.
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?
