yeah, i have actually been in a few of those parties you speak of, and its the only way to do it if your a blm.. Once i was in my first BLM party, i vowed never to get xp any other way..
Basically, we did it with 4 blm 1 brd 1 rdm. sometimes it was changed up a little, like 5 blm and 1 brd or 5 blm 1 rdm..
if you are using 5blm and 1 rdm. have the RDM pull using Gravity.. and then each of the BLM needs to have a stun order..
you all are gonna nuke the hell out of the Mob.. then the first blm will cast Stun.. then continue nuking the hell out of the mob.. then Stun #2 then nuke like hell and Stun #3 and so on and so on..
It will take a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you will be getting chain 5 every like 5 mins.. and when you get to the higher levels, will be getting up to chain 11. i hear that MNK parties are actually better, but i was getting about 11k xp per hour in the higher levels. 72-75
i really prefer having 4 blm 1 rdm and 1 brd because the Refresh rate is just so freaking awesome!
I hope this helps out... i know there are a few of us on Bismarck that have done this.. Jigga, Rustymetal, Andretti, Haquej, Tetsujin, Rosencrantz, umm, there were so many of us..
like i said.. hope that helps out..
Peace.
