Healing Breath PT #2

Went meritting with a few friends, it seems that they enjoy healing breath PT setups a lot. :)

Yup, DRG DRG MNK SAM BRD DRK. No tanks! (Actually the MNK was tank, lol) We camped at Mt Zhayolm, H-8 H-9 because the camp nearer to the runic portal was occupied by 2 PTs.

This setup allows all DD jobs to go all out and DD. No need to hold back. The highest chain we’ve reached was around 30+. Could’ve been more but we had some hiccups along the way like a few members disconnecting and trolls spamming diamondhide back to back.

Both DRGs have Wyrm Armet, the relic DRG head equip which enhances wyvern breath. It triggers healing breath when a PT member has less than 50% HP and it heals around 400HP The AF triggers healing breath at 50% HP when magic is cast, relic AF enhances the healing breath’s amount but triggers at 33% HP. There’s no limit to healing breath, it can be used repeatedly. MNK was main tank since the job itself gives high HP, is a good DD and has the defensive skill guard (well, only useful if he has it levelled to a decent level).

I ate carbonara+1 for this PT setup. For the HP boost (+14%: NQ +175HP, HQ +180HP) and attack boost (+17%: NQ +65Att, HQ +70Att). More HP makes it safer when you have hate with maxed HP merits, I have about 1500HP. More attack for obvious reasons.

Accuracy wise, I think it was ok and I also have meditate + hasso at my disposal. Guillotines reached 900~1000 easily. When DA from my brutal earring procs, highest I got was 1200~1300.

I randomly did a few cross reapers to close darkness with the MNK’s asuran fists. When both hits connect, I did 900 with 200~900 darkness SC. But somehow my accuracy sucked and I frequently get back 1% TP for my cross reaper (meaning only 1 hit connected, cross reaper is a 2 hit WS) orz. I think I’ll start working on my Snow Gorget again.

BRD was pulling and played march + minuet. Over 2 hours, we racked up around 22,000 limit points. We had 1 death, which I suspect was because the SAM targetted a different mob while the others went for another. Distance was too far for the wyvern’s healing breath to reach. I wasn’t paying attention to that so I don’t know the details.

Oh, and only in this setup can a DRK keep souleater up for it’s full duration. ;)

  1. Just so you know Wyrm Armet doesn’t activate Healing Breath at 50% only Drachen Armet does that, but you can macro spells so that when you start casting the spell with the Drachen Armet which activates Healing Breath at 50% then cast switch to the Wyrm Armet so that when the Healing Breath goes off so that it still gets the bonus to Healing Breath.
