Running fate bot on my level 42 DRG in Nthan right now and I'm running into some issues. First the bot dies a ton even with a level 5 chocobo healer. I have Zekken installed and it works... Alright I guess. It's extremely obvious whenever it avoids an aoe. Second, what do you guys generally do for fate leveling? Settings, plug-ins, areas, etc. Thanks so much guys I appreciate the hell out of anyone who takes their time and gives me a solid answer.
I wouldn't run FATEs in Northern Thanalan. You're much safer in Camp Dragonhead or Aleport to 50 (or 60 if you can't/won't run ExFateBot in CWH/Hinterlands).
This. Also, I would suggest you to add more spell info into Zekken to avoid more AoE. You could easily do that via y2krazy's SVN. Just avoid N. Thanalan. It's not safe.
