I NEED HELP

[Rostum]

You'd be suprised how easily you can get invites as a Tarutaru melee.

not as often as others. Also you have a low hp and its not to safe to be in the front, and your strength isnt that grand either. Plus your sword is like a tothpick to me.

First, WAR's use axes and great axes. Second, I have taken my Taru WAR to 40 and I've done amazing damage -- it's quite easy to keep up with any other race. Thirdly, no, the only time you can get one shotted as a tank is when other races can get one shotted too, if you equip yourself right.

I hate it how so many idiots come to the conclusion that Taru can't be any sort of melee. Okay, get this folks -- I am a 75 Tarutaru Paladin, and I do absolutely fine in end-game, by tanking things (PLD don't deal damage), and I know pleanty of other melee DD Tarutaru's that can output some of the highest figures! WAR's, DRG's, THF's, MNK's, SAM's, DRK's, you name it.

So get that stupid illogical thought out of your mind once and for all, you could have thought about them like that when the game first came out but it's been a few years since then and everyone has realised they do just fine!

Edit: Just to add. I had also gotten THF, WAR and NIN to 40. And I just wanted to tell you the road to those levels with those jobs were extremely fun in that I had no troubles getting parties or keeping up with the job just because of my race.
