Hey all,

K so I watched the vid on release and took a lot of good notes. I looked at how Xeno's rotation could be reworked to fit in with mine, with what abilities I currently have (46 WAR as of last night).Rearranged some things on the QSs and CC skills. It was clunky at first, but that took one run of Stone Vigil to get through. I am a happy puppy right now. Using the philosophy of RaWr STR my current accessories are currently that. I open with Tom>Brutal then go into SP to BB combos. So far I have had no issues, maintaining threat or staying alive. I used to pop da shiznit outta my CD's, I was a bebe war and didn't know any better, but now they get weaved and are used at appropriate times to mitigate and to self heal. I just got Vengeance last night and haven't had an opportunity to use it yet, but it's about to go down tonight fo sho.

At any rate, here is why I am originally posting.

Thank you. For taking the time to show me the way. I am a PLD by nature, and wanted to top off WAR just to see how the other side lives. It's like a whole different persona as WAR, and I'm addicted to the Juice! lol.

For example, last nights roulette put me in a party in progress for Darkhold. They were on second boss, Turd...I was with two new to the duty people and luckily a SMN that was on a alt class and had an idea what to do. We had 30 mins left to complete the duty. Wiped three times to him and finally got it after explaining to the MNK that he can LB with only one bar full, though he needed two... Couple newbie body pulls later and recoveries and we were at the boss with 6:36 seconds to complete it. Gave a brief explanation of what to do, Kill crystals stay TF outta aoe. We smashed it and finished with 2 seconds before duty failed. It was neat.

I don't think a lot of folks are hip to the STR stack game for war. A previous heals in SV told me to change gear cause it was "wrong". That I was a tank and should have VIT accessories...Needless to say I proved him wrong.

At any rate, to keep this from tl;dr

Thank you for showing me the way. This PLD has no problems now going apeshit with WAR on stuff and now I understand much more of the job. I look forward to smashing more stuffs with both!
