The Official Forums: BG Edition

[Aksannyi]

And it seems Krystal is wearing the tinfoil hat.

SE's gotten lazy with FFXI...the only thing they care about at the moment is making lazy players happy. if they raise the cap on abby from 30 to 70 then i will change my oppinion...till then...as far as i am concerned...these forums are a litteraly waste of time. i've had two topics up already..one of which got delted by a mod for some stupid reason..and the other well...no SE higher ups seem to be noticing anything to saying anything..so i'm pretty much given up on these forums..keep posting though...you might actually make them notice a change in their forum database and cause them to do a wipe of old topics....

I don't even know ... does she think she's the only one with an opinion?

[Gwynplaine]

Yeah she is Waco fire material.

[Greatguardian]

I don't even know ... does she think she's the only one with an opinion?

I'm under the impression that she thinks there are a large number of people who agree with her that are simply too scared to voice their opinions, so she must be a freedom fighter for infinite justice or somesuch for their sake.

Oh god how could I have missed this in the THF forum:

THF/War and using dual wield seems like a waste to me. I understand why we all do it but simple logistics of it if you are /war and dual wielding your losing out on Fencer wich is a great bonus to THF especialy. I cant see how SE would ever give thf any other way to evade more than they alredy do. Sadly I have found /WAR not overly viable in most situations becuase of the high damage incured by THF. Short of using Defender wich i doubt you would our only option wound then be to use PDT gear. PDT is pretty widely available to most jobs not just PLDthese days. With the advent of Abysea THF has just become an outrageous DD job even with /NIN. Every time I try other subs they are fun but woefully get me killed in the end due to the lack of shadows. What SE really needsto do is rework the formula for Parrying. Only maybe 5-10% of FFXI players have capped parrying wich is a big bonus. Capped parry and capped evasion on THF would make /war more viable IMO.

Fencer on THF, fuck yeah.

The official forums are almost as much fun as playing... almost.

Lol i drank a few vodkas and finally snapped in the haste thread. Naturebeckles and ezekial seriously need a swift kick in the ass before they are allowed to play- sad part is im pretty sure one em is on my server>< Patiently awaiting ban notice via email lol- I mean im not elite by any means- but my god has it really devolved into this? "i cant take 5 mins to macro gear because agi rocks for thf" makes me wanna gouge my eyes out with a spoon

[Myrrh_Quetz]

So, because sadly, I see your post getting deleted. Here is it for those who will miss it.

OMG not another 'I dont swap gear because then the mage cant cure me" bs. As someone that mains whm and rdm, this is total bs. This is sheer laziness, and bragging that you lead/sack w/e in a ls is doing no justice to them because you are a sheer moron. Been playing since 2007? and you dont know how to gear swap to optimize play? that is nothing to brag about. But yet you sit here and bash on people for trying to help you improve. Obviously you and anyone else that holds this position needs to not post n forums until you learn how to play the game. And you accuse people of trying to troll you/harrass you for giving you tips on gameplay?Seriously what drugs are you on. This is not opinion, it is fact, math >your self righteous blabber on some forum that you think will get noticed. Pease don't indulge us anymore with your pitiful excuses for a melee not swapping gear.

[Henihhi]

Lol thank you. I am so glad i finally signed up here and ffxiah. I honestly used to be one of those "official things" only type of people but i always used the whm and rdm threads here. And my god the official forums make me want to smack my head off a wall.

Winnipeg is for jerks \('-'*) and natives

Dude, i fucking hate this city. It's complete bullshit the benefits natives get but if you're sick and white, you get fucking nothing. Fuck.

[Henihhi]

FFS i give- now i have people arguing they dont notice a difference when gear swapping. Its like arguing with the rain to not make mud.

[Nattack]

Dude, i fucking hate this city. It's complete bullshit the benefits natives get but if you're sick and white, you get fucking nothing. Fuck.

I'm eligable, but not quite willing, It would require talking to some rather unscrupulous members of my family of which ive long forgotten.

coming back fall or winter for more schooling...

Injun benefits is a matter all across canada though, It can be a very silly place. At least you're not a part of that seperatist scum Quebec, or mini-USA, Southern Ontario.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Fuck Quebec, fucking wannabe frogs.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Would it kill SE to add a "Go to last post" button and crap that every other site fucking has?

[Mrbeansman]

I'm Amazed that the remove experience thread is still open.

[Nattack]

There isn't a priority over one another as far as STR and DEX. They are BOTH 30% multipliers.

But if you wanted to put one over the other, DEX > STR since Jin is a Critical hit rate WS, Dex is what decides your Critical hit rate, ACC, AND its a 30% multiplier.

And, if you wanted to prioritize them in order its Katana skill>Critical Hit rate>STR&DEX are equals@30%modifiers > Attack is last really...

Merit that Katana skill, make sure it's capped, cap critical hit rate and cap both str and dex in merits equally...the multipliers make them equal. I've broke 2500..do it pretty constantly with only a few pieces of IGA+2 gear and then the remainder of other gear. Especially in Abyssea I break 2500.

At 75 in a burn pt before Abyssea, I did 2123 Blade: Jin with my old school set up. Basically everything listed below if you take the Iga out of the list. Max Katana, Critical Hit rate, Fudo off hand

Main: Senji Offhand: Kamome
Head: Optical Hat forever, just for the ACC, but there are other helms out now...Iga+1 and Iga+2 is best tho.
Body: Kirin's Osode til IGA+
Hands: Ochimusha Kote til IGA+
Legs: Byakko's Haidate til IGA+
Feet: Rutter Sabatons or if your Hume, level 60 RSE feet. til IGA+
Waist: Warwolf Belt
Neck: Chivalrous chain is acceptable, helps with ACC (Gave up on the WS gorget, doesn't seem to really help anymore.) But for max damage, and this is MY opinion, use the Katana Skill Gorget.
Back:Cuchulain's Mantle if you can afford it, Cerb mantle is good enough, or Commander's +3 str dex agi
Rings: I use 1 Flame and 1 Breeze or whatever gives +5 dex, I forget. Plan to get +7 rings when prices lower. 1 STR 1 DEX
Earrings: I do have 2 +2 Dex earrings but I was able to afford it back in the day because of my Smithing skill..was able to make some HQ gear for a 100+3 GS'er...not recommended to go broke over tho. Minuet earring and whatever else is suitable for WS macro.

I have max Katana Skill, I'd suggest the katana skill gorget over the WS dmg Gorget anyday IMO. I think those WS gorgets are broke now.

I'm a bit out of the loop, but I'm pretty sure WS gorgets are still good... at least, i'm sure they're better than ChivChain.

[Darkmagi]

Katana skill is attack yet attack is last.... my mind is fucked.

[Henihhi]

Am i alone in thinking that half the people that post there never took a basic high school algebra class? I mean i hate talking down to anyone, but holy hell two days of reading this shit and I almost don't wanna log in for fear that some of these retards may want in my party >< <not that i can log in lol >

[boo]

Optical Hat forever man, welcome back to 2002
