Blu is one of the best dyna jobs. Can even use th trait+sash if you don't use a thf.

The best duo for dualbox depends on how good you are at dualboxing.

DD + WHM is easiest but least coins.
DD + BRD is less easy but more coins.
DD + DD can be more coins than DD + Bard if you're good enough and both your characters are geared enough.

For these 2-boxed duo's, the best jobs with support are THF/DNC and DNC/THF. With 2 DD's, you can pretty much do anything (I'll list the combos for duoing).


For solo, the best jobs are BST/DNC, BLU/DNC, DNC/THF, and THF/DNC.


For duo (not 2-box) there are some other good combinations not already listed.
BLU/DNC + RDM/DNC (both with Almace)
MNK/DNC + BRD/DNC (one of you has TH sash and BRD has good DD gear)
DNC/THF + BRD/DNC
DNC/WAR + THF/DNC
Any DD job subbed dancer with either a DNC/THF or THF/DNC works fine.

Yes. I'm sorry to leave PUP out but I don't have any experience duoing or 2-boxing a PUP.

I only listed what I've had experience with.

PLD/THF is another job that deserves mention, however I have no idea how good it is.

Wasted time. That's not the efficient way of doing it.

Just stick with JA mobs. There's a reason you never see anyone doing magic proc mobs.

yea i think SAM/DNC is way better than BLU if you stick with the JA mobs. Easy proc then easy kill

Doing Dynamis without Treasure Hunter is a bad idea. Would not recommend solo SAM as your choice of job.

Except solo blu/dnc is going to kill EP mobs faster than solo sam, has TH1-2 compared to 0, and doesn't need to waste tp healing itself. It also has a much easier time killing TEs, and soloing NMs. There is really no comparison.

That would depend on how well-geared your BST and BLU is, though BST is much easier to gear up.

If you want a good fast duo to push 350+ coins go bst/dnc and bring a good DD with you. Bst proc and snarl all mobs on pet wile DD has a endless supply of prey. (Only works well if zone/camp isnt over congested)

If you're going to duo then you should be bringing a THF.

DNC/THF + DRG/DNC - my friend was playing DRG. I was playing the DNC. We duo'd 663 last time we were in dyna valk together.

I would say one of you needs to be a THF, but you should make sure you have at least TH2 whether that be from THF, /THF, or BLU with TH trait set and Tarutaru Sash with TH augment.

BST with dipper yuly or faithful falcor only gets TH1. I would not recommend it as your source of TH in a duo.

Obviously a very ignorant post. I would suggset, Onllwyn, that you learn more about BLU before you post such ridiculous things.

I was thinking the same thing, to be honest. That's only slightly lower than my 99 Masa SAM + 99 Mandau THF duo, which I would find to be pulling further ahead than it is. If I had to guess I would assume it's because of both jobs having potentially high TP gain to skillchain most mobs.

wish I was on your server, I'd never be able to kill the 2.4~ mobs per minute required for that kind of coin count :| would be waiting for respawns too often

You just have to kill the mobs nobody fights. We've gotten over 700 many times; the only thing that limits our coin count is the number of HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE BSTs taking 10m clearing the TEs.

BLU+THF (99 almace + 99 mandau).

Though we did a bubu run a few weeks ago where we stayed on the west side, in the DC mandies, and did JA + WS there (instead of running all the way over to the east side for JA procs). We got less coins of course, but tons of bronzepieces and actually made out with more gil overall. We usually do valk.

We did Flytraps, Cactuars and Manticores. More than enough Flytraps/Cactuars. We'd do Orcs in between Manticores if we ran out. You'd have to ask Calipso for a parse if you wanted one. I didn't care to ever parse Dynamis. <_< And obviously, proc rate and time spent looking for 20 min TE would have an effect on coin total as well.

Ah, yeah. If we had competition then there would be many "God dammit"s to be had. x.x Most of the time people were smart about not going to a camp that was already taken, though.
