WHM Accomplishment threadFollow

As some of the other jobs who have their lil solo accomplishment threads, why can't we...

So I'll kick it off...

Shiva - Solo WHM/RDM
I was doing my SMN AF stuff so figured I'd just do all the fights WHM/RDM.... So whilst I was in Fei'Yin I'd pay Shiva a visit (as you do).

After the SMN fight I entered the BC for Shiva, in my infinite wisdom (not to mention intelligence) this being my first attempt at solo and well over a year since having fought an avatar go in on Ice Day. After having attacked I noticed this potential problem, but thought what the hell... I got RR3 and a full buffer... at worst I'll lose 5k.

I had no drinks or meds with me either, and the only food I had was meat mithkabobs, so i ate one.

Fight went supprisingly well, although i think shiva got a bit grumpy towards the end. Took me 12m40secs no 2hr used.

One thing if you do attempt this... Auspice is pointless, go with the en-spell, capped shield certainly helps with a genbu shield and a perdu wand (or relic i suppose would be one better). Mystic Boon is a must have, no way i could have done this without some MP meds/drink.


Not major in the grand scheme of things, but I thought was something to make people maybe think twice about the usefulness of WHM/RDM.

What's your most treasured accomplishment?

Reactivated, regeared WHM, and got 30k limit points on my first day back. I'm working on capping my club skill (currently 244) in the Tree, probably until I get bored and look for an endgame LS.

Shield is capped thanks to 75PLD , just need to work on club sometime. It can get boring if no one is online to talk to

I guess I could be skilling up until 269 on PLD, but I like having RR3, and Repose just in case

Heh, makes me wish I had a Kraken club to borrow. I was still playing around with the new WHM spells and abilities, but I kinda got the hang of it.
Haste is definetly one of the determining factors, as well as the acc+ from Auspice. I'll probably just switch it up and head out on WHM or PLD depending on my mood.

WHM Ass-kicking mode, or PLD Shield-bashing mode. Tough decisions for me tomorrow.

It might represent victory to you, but to me that represents sheer and utter failure on the part of the melees you were partying with =/

level 52 and 6/6 artifact 1 gear in 5 hours, was actually kinda fun!

If we'd been making 10k/hr, that by itself would indicate bad players. So I was just throwing it in, to support that we were a good level-headed bunch.

It was either:

3xDD, 2xBRD, WHM
or
3xDD, BRD, COR, WHM

(more common/successful than 4xDD, in my experience)

So assuming they did an even split of the remaining 82%, that's 27.3% each. That's 50% more damage share than me, each! (and I only spend 15~20% of my time casting usually)

I still wanna know what you conclude from COR damage. Does 10% mean the DD's are bad? 15%?

What if the DD's are perfect, and the WHM is perfect?
-- how much % should DD's get, how much % should WHM get?

What if all four are totally gimpy?
-- how much % should DD's get, how much % should WHM get?

^^^^Are the ratios of DD:DD:DD:WHM the same in both of those cases? Because it seems like you have some strong guidelines figured out in your head ... and I wanna know what they are!

----------

- If a WHM/SCH with no merits, TPing in casting gear, decides to melee while main healing (using boon to keep up, or whatever), and he's using, I dunno, Darksteel Maul.

If that WHM gets 18% share, then that's a different story. I would have concerns about the DD's...

- But I'm on stage 4 relic, offhand Kraken, and make every effort to maximize my gear for melee (as silly as that is) ...

So there's a difference when I get 18%, compared to the unmerited, casting gear WHM/SCH getting 18%.

Doesn't necessarily mean the DD's were bad!^^

(in fact, some people might see it as me doing well, instead of DD's doing badly ... but that's just crazy-talk, lol)

Well, since you pointed out that one person's share in a parse doesn't necessarily reflect how good the other people in the party are, I guess it would be dependant on how good the COR is, as well.

However... 10% from a COR would indicate a pretty crappy COR, no matter how good the DDs are. Unless, of course, the COR is pulling, in which case they will probably parse <1%.

(sorry chewzer, I meant I wanna know what Fyn concludes, specifically -- but yeah, seems you got my point^^)

My latest accomplishment:

Successfully defending one of my own personal accomplishments, against the unexpected criticism of a fellow WHM ... in a positive and uplifting happy candy rainbow teddybear cookie accomplishment thread. xD

Logiks:

Congrats! :D
Fun cape for MND stuffs, and without having to pay the price for Prism or Ixion!

I am not trying to attack your accomplishment, I'm merely saying that as another melee I would look at the fact a WHM was able to parse so high as an embarrassment. Maybe having BRD+BRD or BRD+COR helps even things out and helps the WHM's damage more than everyone else, I don't know.

Also, I have no idea about COR damage; I can't even remember the last time I did a meripo with a COR. CORs are a lot rarer than BRDs, "/sea all cor" usually returns a result in the 20s on my server, and I've already considered BRDs to be hard to find (or at least hard to invite before they get snatched up by someone else). I have never had a 2xBRD or BRD+COR party, either.
