Ffxiv rdm dmg vs smn free#

Nocturnal sect works great on floor mobs and Diurnal sect works great on bosses. The Astrologian’s flexibility is enormously helpful in HOH. You’ll just have to work harder.Īgain we have a clear winner here with Astrologian.

That having been said, you CAN still clear with a DRK or WAR tank. Furthermore, PLD can help heal the party and has the best party defense abilities (Divine Veil and Cover.) And of course having the extra stuns available as interrupts is super-handy as well.

Many of the mobs in HOH are stunnable (but not all!) and if the PLD is allowed to do all the stunning you can get 6 seconds of free DPS on the first stun, 3 seconds on the second stun, and 1 second on the third stun, for a total of 10 seconds of free DPS, which is usually plenty to put down a single mob if your DPS numbers are solid. WAR and DRK only have one stun with a fairly long cooldown, but the PLD has a stun on demand (GCD permitting) and the OGCD stun as well. The best tank for clearing HOH is, hands down, the Paladin. While there might be advantages to bringing two tanks or two healers in terms of survival, on the later floors you are going to need the DPS to beat the timer because the mobs will start to have a lot more HP and will take substantial time to put down.

While you can technically run Heaven-On-High with any party composition you want, the standard party composition of one tank, one healer, and two DPS is what I’ve used successfully.
