EXP Parties since patch, ftl.

For those complaining about AoE, remember Warrior in 1.21 will get another AoE WS. This means MRD will have 2 AoE WS's. And why the hate on the 3k TP cost of whirlwind? I'm not a MRD so I can't test it but I know the 2nd ability in a combo doesn't use TP, nor does it require you to have the needed amount. I was guildleve leveling my ARC today and found I could complete my combo with only 1k TP instead of the needed 1.5k. Tried it again and I was able to complete the combo with 0 TP. Is it different for Whirlwind or is it a possible glitch I was getting (or have people not even bothered to try?)?

In general combo costs are determined by positioning for non ARC DoWs. Havent tried my MRD since patch but in order to use whirlwind for free you must first use Path of Storms. What is unclear to me is if path of storms needs to be executed from behind the target in order to receive free whirlwind.

yes it does need to be from rear the triple combo is from side, then theres a combo from front and the path of storms is from rear

they are all real easy to do if your not tanking, i landed 7ws on one moogle in a row

Visiting this forum is like going out into a jungle... I never know what I'm going to find next, and I'm real scared.

You're a Marauder named Sniper Rifle, you shouldnt be scared of anything

Yeah the first WS needs to be used from correct positioning, the one that completes the combo doesn't, though. So for ARC I have to run away from the mob and get some distance, then do my WS. I can complete the combo when it's closer than 8 ft. You know you're doing it right when the skill to complete the combo is highlighted in purple.

I just don't see why MRD's don't stagger when they do it or team up with THM's to AoE stuff. I think using whirlwind in a combo reduces the timer on it... or something. With 3 MRD you can do it on every pull, just need the 1k TP for the first WS. 1-2THM's can clean up the survivors with their AoEs. Doesn't really make for any slower leveling in my opinion, just more organization.
