Dance-off! (FFXI)

[thistlechaser]

Blah Dancer. Too bad it's such a useful sub because it's such an annoying job to play. Flail! Twist! Twirl! Prance! Got four levels soloing today, 16 -> 20.

Adjusted my plan from last night. Not going to touch DRG again. If I go insane and decide to level it in the future, I can just buy armor back.

Remaining plan: MNK solo to 18 (15 now). DNC 20 -> 37 (partying, soloing, or both). Sell off HQ Bone and HQ Beetle armor sets. (Edit: I wonder at what level DNC switches to /NIN subjob? Maybe I don't need MNK to 18!)

New part of the plan: Get Katerwaul a locker which would mean (with the reduced armor) I could delete Yagudokisses. Which would mean... no more crafting mules. :/ Our LS has no high level alchemy people left, so it's good I leveled it on Fishingbot, but... my last crafting mule! D:

I recommend switching dnc sub from mnk to nin at 20; you'll still do more dmg with H2H, but you'll start noticing a significant drop in accuracy.

An even better recommendation: Stop at 20. Take DNC from 20-37 using campaign ops, dragon chronicles, and miratete's memoirs.

Ha ha, I like your second recommendation, but I'll probably try to party for a bit. :P

Yay /NIN though! No need to level MNK anymore~

You probably don't need Monk at 18 for Dancer. Once you have Utsusemi, you might want to switch to /NIN full time.

Dancer is so ridiculously broken. I can't believe Divine Waltz's cooldown is only five seconds. And for only 20 TP!? Madness!

Only draw back is that it's MASSIVE hate. So spamming it can quickly result in dead dancer.

Mines up to 40 right now, getting a couple levels every week in windshire static! Hurray! Flail! Twist! Twirl! Prance!

Galka dancers make baby Jesus cry

[quistie.livejournal.com]

But, but...Galka Prance™!!!

[almontffxi.livejournal.com]

But the Galka Stomp is fun to watch, heh.

I just can't bring myself to unlock & level DNC. Ever. I can't do it.

[citizenbleys.livejournal.com]

If by "fun to watch" you mean "something that makes me want to scoop out my eyeballs with a filthy pooper-scooper," then yes.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Heehee. :D

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

As much as I dislike Galka in general (sorry Vel!) they're my least-hated race when it comes to DNC. At least the dancing part of DNC, let's not think about Galka in the AF...

Stomping > flailing and twirling!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Woo! /NIN it is!

And yes, it's amazingly broken. I was solo chaining T mobs last night. That's just not right...

[veloxe.livejournal.com]

Thistle...without more crafting mules?

I refuse to believe it! I can't be true ; ;

[iniadelphinae.livejournal.com]

Give it a few weeks, maybe even a month or two, then we'll be reading about Thistle's falling off the wagon (again).

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

*snickers* You might be right. :P

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I can't believe it either! D:

I hated every second of leveling DNC to 37, and I've used it exactly once since then.

It's just not that great for my jobs. WHM/DNC? BLM/DNC? L.O.L.

RDM/DNC probably has some use, but I have yet to be so pressed for MP that I've wished I could dip into my TP for more cures. THF/DNC is just horrible. Keeping up TP for dances means fewer weaponskills, which is what keeps THF from taking longer than RDM to bore mobs (and myself) to death.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I sort of have a grander plan for DNC. I'm semi sort of maybe interested in taking PLD to 75, and PLD/DNC is the very best job combo for reward in Campaign. Nevermind that I hate XPing and my PLD is only 20-something and I haven't gone to Campaign in weeks...

So I might end up using it as much as you do!
