At least from what I remember, you'd almost never see a SAM/DNC

I was SAM/DNC onry...And thf/dnc...

Maybe it was a server thing, and I'm certainly not saying nobody ever did /DNC on any jobs as a main subjob. I usually saw SAM/WAR (because WAR buffs made WS's insane I'm sure, coupled with self skillchains? haha) and THF/NIN =p I did see some people on those jobs /DNC running around Jeuno before Abyssea. After Aby and level cap increases came out I think /DNC became more of a mainstay for it's heals. Plus Samurai's TP skill was perfect for self heals, right? And you could put the steps and whatnot up.

And I don't remember, could you reverse flourish as /DNC? Was probably great for SAM.

That said, I usually ran around as RDM/DNC and DNC/WAR most of the time =p I went RDM/BLM (or WHM) only for 6 man parties or alliances of if I knew I'd need to warp a lot lol.

-SNIP-

I only used sam/dnc during campaign lol or soloing (Soboro + /dnc = infinite heals). /war was definitely the way to go. You couldn't use reverse flourish when I played, but they may have changed that. I stopped playing shortly before the 99 cap and we didnt have access to it at that time. That would have been insane on SAM. Meditate - WS - Reverse Flourish - WS - WS. *goes home*

I doubt DNC will be anything like it's XI counterpart if they add it, but I would like to see where they take it.

Yeah, you could Reverse Flourish at later levels, but since /DNC only gets one Finishing Move per Step, which means they need five Steps to reach maximum (pay 50 TP for 60 TP return) compared to Dancer's three Steps (pay 30 TP for 60 TP return). Additionally, /DNC misses out on the Merit traits and gear that DNC gets to boost Reverse Flourish (boosts that 60 TP return to 100 or more). So, Reverse Flourish is nerfed to the point where it's hardly worthwhile.

Ah yeah forgot about that. Haven't run XI for a while lol.
