    Even WHM's can realistically out AoE WAR's in more than a few scenarios because Stonera and Aerora are on shorter timers and a shit tons of mobs are seemingly weak to wind/stone, so it's not really splitting hairs Meatdawg.

    Rampage is still effective at keeping you alive while you SC 5 mobs with no downtime. I just don't see a drg killing the same amount of level 51+ mobs with no downtime. It took me 6 hours to sb my Bravura, I should have a better gauge on Drg this weekend when i do the lance.

    You are still MP dependent. Over time your gonna lose out. Spirit Bind the whm staff solo and let me know how much fun it is.

    On the same token WAR's SC is TP dependant, besides your discounting WHM can get Ballad, Shroud of Saints, Blissful Mind, and Meds for MP restoration and just like with WS usage pacing your MP consumption let's you go on for quite some time.

    But the subject was damage dealing, not survivability. I do hamlet on Drg (not Aleport) and the runs would finish a lot faster than if I were to do them on War. Stronger aoe being partly responsible for that.

    why DRG? I'm just curious because damage from players really isn't a priority in hamlet defense.

    It's two minutes less we have to wait for it to finnish. It's not just to do damage, but it's to help spread them out over all the archers.

    I do that too but on WAR or PLD. Good to know I don't need to use those classes though.

    Yeah I did it on War, but got so bored of it and tried something different. Except for Aleport (because of bomb spamm) it's perfectly doable to use Drg. (Decent gear tho, no -hp gear)

    The reason you use drg is because it is far superior at single target dps....
