So like, a couple days ago I finally got NIN to 37, decided to sub it and go camp Mee Deggi...

I had a huge blast. Who says WHM can't melee? As WHM/BLM I could barely handle lvl 50+ mobs alone, simply because I took too much damage and I killed so slow...Now, I can pretty much solo the eye mobs that drop the eyes for Haku, and higher. I can manage to kill a DC when even some Too Weaks were too tough. Just toss up shadows and stoneskin, pop up other shadows, blink, it's a pretty nice cycle biggrin I don't do the best of dmg, but the dual mauls really up dmg, and I seem to be ws'ing wayyyy more.

Thoughts?

Meh as a taru I hated a lot of thing that went with /nin back then I was like hmm BLM/NIN double the int the better the damage... but it also meant I suffer a little in the mp factor >.>, as a BST/NIN to me I level quicker as a BST/WHM over a BST/NIN because again I could cure myself rather then wait there healing.. and the MP I had as a taru was significant compared to the shadows. About the only thing I didn't hate was when NIN was a sub for WAR and for THF :p.

I never tried a WHM/NIN before ^^ and if you can solo DC mobs at that level O.O then it is even nice... but don't expect it to be a good party subjob for a mage :p especially when you won't be in the front lines as a WHM anyways ^^.

I know ;;, I'll always be the healer. It's a fun sub to go to when NM camping or farming though lol. I even got to go WHM/NIN to my ENM static today and I meleed lol, it was sooo much fun.

It just gives some power to WHM for us to be able to do more stuff on our own. I know since WHM is my only 75 I have to ask for help a lot of times for higher up things that most jobs can solo.

wtf!? who said whm can't malee????

Of course WHM can malee!! but only outside exp pt or in a not-serious merit pt.

WHM/NIN can also solo the NM Blackbeard or SilverHook easily within 15 min.

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Blackbeard

Why the heck WHM can't malee???? look at this armor...

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Reverend_Mail

(I have this armor myself, and I enjoy being a malee whm lol but mostly i won't malee unless it's very free and ok to do)

Blackbeard and Silver Hook drop the Sea Wolf and Sea Robber cudgels. The 2 best club for a malee WHM/NIN to dual-wield. I'm in HNM LS so I still not have time to go camp these two. Hexa Strike can take these bone NMs down easily.

PS. BLM/NIN rules the solo life of BLM before lv 51. Even beyond lv 51, this /NIN still rules. Utsusemi to save your live when cast sleep, dual-wield 2 HQ wands for massive magic dmg, etc.

I want to get the "Hauby mail" for WHM from Shen lol. That evil bugger.

Still gotta get Hexa Strike too --, just got Club 176 mad , Rarely have time to just skill-up lawl. It does look mighty yummy though.

It really isn't thought of a role for whm, since whm is basically a healing job.

whm/nin /drool. It's great me and my rdm/nin friend dual everything. And for some reason my thf friend likes to SATA me so im tank for everything - -;

I have a friend who's a whm but didn't want to lvl blm (for some rp-related reasons). He soloed as whm/war until the ToAU expansion came out and now he plays whm/blu. With his npc he can solo VT mobs (although slowly lol). He is very (very very) well geared though^^ With his gear he's got more mp than the averagely geared whm/blm of the same race (Elvaan) (he's now lvl71)

So yeah I'm absolutely a fan of whm-melee and whm-solo smile Go Go /nin!

It bugs me when people just assume that "this job MUST sub this job or they're no good for pt/mission/solo/whatever" - primarily because if you haven't tried it you don't know >O stop quoting mythical "others" >.>"

so would it be a good idea for me to sub nin as a blm too when doing solo?? or is it the heals of a whm that make this build viable solo?

MMMMMM yea, after the whole deal about black mage finding ways to soloe ... BLM/NIN can be done ... just takes a little getting used to.

/NIN is actually the favorted solo sub of choice for BLM, but for different build. NIN backing for WHM is meant for when a WHm wants to try and melee while /NIN backing on BLM is for soloing exp at lower lvls. The solo sub of choice generally higher up is /rdm nowadays haha

WHM/NIN IS ONLY BADASS WITH A REVEREND MAIL.. Just like the only cool blm armor is the Genie.

and taru drks should not wear full Platron set. because well thats just asking to get one shotted (idk random tip I saw that a couple days ago in campaign)

If you use blm/nin for solo, you already came the right way for solo blm before lv 66. (why lv 66? you got reraise when /whm hit 33 and you may consider changing the sub)

/nin has dual wield, you wear 2 HQ Wands and got more int, mnd boost.

/nin has utsusemi, save you some time to cast sleep on the mob that didn't get 1-shotted.

In fact, you may want to use /rdm for int boost and fast cast but that should be after lv 50, imo.

Now consider using /sch sometimes too... Too bad I can't give you tips on /sch... I got hacked and they sold my ID before I could try it out.
