    My favorite pt so far has been:

    Pld/War (me)
    Nin/War
    Blm/Whm
    Blm/Whm
    Sum/Blm
    Sum/Whm

    This party was around levels 42-45 (cant remember exactly). We were in the crawlers nest and killing things VERY fast! I leveled up twice in alittle less than 3 hours. Well, I also had my band left over from the previous day so I got about an extra 500-700 xp total, on top of recasting my band

    NIN/WAR (tank)
    RDM/WHM or /BLM (healer, debuff, dmg)
    BLM/WHM (dmg dealer)
    MNK/WAR (dmg)
    BRD/WHM (buffs, healer)

    Sixth member could be WAR/NIN or RNG/NIN.

    Note: I quit XI as the new jobs were added, so I don't know too much about how they fit in the PT setup.

    At lower levels I enjoy a PT setup similar to that. 2xTank (preferably with shadows) 2xTHF/NIN, healer, buffer.

    THF> tank> mob <tank <THF

    You can just have your THFs SATA+VB back and forth on the tanks constantly. If you are lucky your tanks may even have a chance to open Distortion here and there.

    Last night in Wajaom Woodlands we were getting almost 10k xp per hour.

    lvls started out at 55/56 and we ended with one of ours getting 59. I went from 55-57 and im 4k tnl.

    Our setup was:
    PLD/war (me) for tanking
    DRG/war
    DRG/war
    DRK/thf
    RDM/whm
    WHM/blm (didnt use any blm skills though, was straight healer)

    We were seariously pulling Lesser Colibri's with ease. I made an 8 minute video and there was literally no down time and killed about 5-6 of them back to back....just in the video. We went about an hour at one point with no downtime AT ALL.

    It was probably also due to sanction but thats besides the point. I held hate while the DRk and DRGs did massive damage. If I lost hate id just cast a cure 4 and get it right back. I was reborn to FFXI last night!

    I like party setups at end-game, they get exp really fast. Last one I was in I was PLD/NIN, and had WAR/NIN, MNK/NIN, THF/NIN, BRD and RDM. I had DD gear on that I borrowed from a friend. Well, let's face it, PLD aren't that great at DD'ing so I wasn't keeping up much with other DD's, but it was a friend party, so that makes it a lot more fun.

    I love PLD tanks 'cause nin can't keep hate off of me, WHM are nice to have for R3 (especially in Bhaflau Thickets...@#$# Firespit one-shots), RDM to keep the whm refreshed--and if necessary Dispel that doesn't have a ONE HOUR recast like Finale, BRD for pulling, and MNK for the occasional random SC (Gekko -> Asuran Fists or vice-versa makes Darkness...one of the few SC where both jobs pop their best ws)

    What about it? Doesn't make light if thats what you're saying, yuki > gekko > kasha makes light, and you can do that once every 2 hours.

    Savage blade > kasha = light
    Ground strike > kasha = light
    Spinning slash > kasha = light

    I mean I'd rather do Gekko over Kasha in an exp party. Asuran Fists -> Gekko still makes a level 3 renkei, and Darkness is just as good as light, without the requirement for Tachi: Kasha.

    Sure, the paralyze effect is nice, but that's what rdms are for, and I consistently get better damage on Gekko than I can with Kasha.
