Talk:Preemptive Strike

From FFXI Wiki

Easily done with much time to spare as RDM/BLM, NIN/WAR, THF/NIN. THF pulls (best if you memorize and can think on your feet) when the mob is at about 10% health. RDM hastes and cures as needed, enfeebling outside of silence isn't really necessary, though meritted slow II can help a lot. The only things to look out for are Vorpal Blade, Rushing Drib, and Fire Spit. Using this strategy, an extremely potent skillchain is Blade: Ku >> Shark Bite for Fragmentation. We were breaking 2500 damage each time with this skillchain, which equates to about 70% of the mobs health. RDM also needs to sleep any adds (though ideally, you won't have any). If the RDM finds themselves with extra MP sitting on convert, they can magic burst Thunder III after the SC for about 650-750 damage.
