whm and blm in the same team

[maxm92]

what is you strategy when you play in the same team with both whm and blm?

for me as whm , its the worst class i can play with ... or i dont know how to play with but most of our efficient spell are the same and its quite boring to have resist on my spell when the vlm is not really able to do a fine and constant dps , that i need when i do my job of crowd control .

hope others whm have solution to play with blm in random match

( or maybe blm random are bad and dont know how to burst dos during the sleeps , thats possible too )

other question , as scholar , have you got the same problem with other class which are not efficient with you?

When there is a WHM and BLM on the same team, the BLMs should handle majority of the CC and if the WHM is CCing as well they need to communicate for DRs.

Frankly, WHM is better grouped with a BRD or SMN so that they can do the Sleeps and Heavies while allowing them to do damage freely and Bind when needed.

SCH seems better suited with a BLM simply due to SCH having minimal CCs and BLM having the most making up the difference. SCH also allows BLMs to free cast because of Adlos (those crit adlos so good!). Good SCHs can make up the damage loss that tends to come from bringing along a BLM.

of course my problem is when i play with random (99% of my time for the moment )

I'll never played in premade with Blm as whm

Its just a pledge for me to play with blm , each time my loose rate grow from 20 % to 50 % + when there is a BLM in my team , quite boring didn t notice that scholar have the same problem

White Mage is usually playing counter-tank, Black Mage is usually playing counter-healer and hopefully communicating their intent at the gate.

WHM/BLM composition in duty finder is most times a convincing victory provided the BLM has a plan. The tank/melee piling on an enemy DPS can easily bring in a kill during a hard sleep with a spent Purify. Once the sleep ends or someone dies it's back to your regularly scheduled programming of Healer Must Die (until DR fade).

Yeah WHM and BLM on the other team is a nightmare for me personally, it's just get CC'd all damn day while the other team's tank and melee dps go to town on whatever they have targetted. I would rather face a BLM and SCH because the SCH can't Bind/Heavy/Sleep you while you try to target the other person who's trying to Sleep/Heavy/Bind you. Lethargy is a perpetual headache and Swiftcast -> Freeze is frustrating to see when you're piled on the healer.

This composition is not as powerful as the duo whm + smn, the smn is the class that taunt by his presence and allows the whm to be free to act.
The fact is that Mrd and Smn still get imba for 4v4 ranked (especially if whm is in too), BLM is an easy solution for zerging noob in pug duty.
