CNJ Ability Setup Post 1.20

[Estellios]

Rampart, Shield Bash, and Outmaneuver are very useful while soloing, since you don't have to worry about enmity, Stun in a pinch is very helpful, and increasing your block rate reduces your damage taken. If you're soloing you should have your weapon out so you can shield block or staff parry, as you don't recover MP while passive and something is actively attacking you, so you might as well get some use out of your shield.

I almost always use staff except when main healing in some fights, when I wouldn't be in active mode to have my shield out, so I don't use ability space for those shield abilities. For those CNJs that prefer a wand and shield for soloing, more power to them to use them, I know I would probably use Outmaneuver over Sentinel and Shield Bash over one of the Thm spells or Invigorate.

Thinking about it now, Foresight would probably be worth looking into for soloing with a staff.

Thanks. Good advice for soloing! ^^

I guess the people I spoke with last night and myself tend to be focused more on doing the Moogle and Ifrit battles, so the viewpoint was slanted towards the party-play point of view and not generating enmity.
