The Official Forums II: Out Here Grindin'

[Eeeks]

Check out his item sets on ffxiah: http://www.ffxiah.com/player/Bahamut/Alukat. They have been updated some within the last few months (at least the thf ones, haven't checked rdm), but I dare say they're still somewhat.... off.

Link to a screenie he posted (read the comments lol): http://www.ffxiah.com/screenshots/54689

His profile comment says a lot too.

He's a screenshot of his FFXIAH THF TP set for funsies:

You know it's been updated recently because of the trousers. And Mairja is right, the other sets look off (for example, RDM TP set shows a Suppa with a Mandau/Genbu's Shield combo), and they list a surprising amount of NQ gear for a relic holder. Bonanza Mandau?

[Mairja]

Ty Eeek, was too lazy to take any screenies. :D

I'm no thf, and idk much about the job - but chiv chain? Cuch mantle? And wouldn't Qirmiz Tathlum be a better choice than Thew Bomblet?

[rienea]

Not a bonanza Mandau, my linkshell sold him the attestation. He attributes his gear to being a casual player.

[GoggleHead]

Casual player...with a relic?

My head hurts.

[Gadritan]

Casual for 7 years or something? I know I've seen some people in the relic thread getting them nowish that were always the little gimpo dreaming of big boy toys.

[Milkster]

I'm hoping he added his weapons wrong, off-handing Mandau? Why?

[Dooom]

I'm hoping he added his weapons wrong, off-handing Mandau? Why?

That's just how AH.com is on item sets. Which weapon goes in main/offhand is not up to the player I believe.

I stand corrected, then. The gear is still a bit wonky, though. Now that I know it's not a Bonanza Mandau, his gear confuses me that much more. If he has the patience to finish a Mandau as a casual player, I'm a bit surprised he's not sporting any AF3+2 or a few r/ex goodies from Abyssea. It's been out long enough that other casuals I know have cranked out a couple +2 pieces by now. Hell, I finally finished my first complete AF3+2 set the last week of May. I'm by no means a hardcore player, and my shell is really laid back.

For comparison's sake, here's one of my okayish TP sets:

It took me much longer to scrape together this gear than people in more aggressive groups and linkshells. That's fine by me, though.

And Dooom is right about the FFXIAH.com item sets. It usually takes a few tries to get gear in the right places. I'll be damned if I wear my Rajas on the left like a savage, though.

[rienea]

My mules THF has 4/5 AF3+2... It's not hard if you put your mind to it. I don't see him on a lot these days, but when I do, he's usually hanging around in Port Jeuno.

[Kazen]

Man this guy talks about SMN in every thread, even ones unrelated.

Well, I played since 2003. And I don't miss a single thing from the past. It was all terrible content and people should be happy they don't even have to touch it these days.

Of course most of my hate stems from playing Summoner, and if you look at all content before Abyssea for SMN, it can be summed up with Dynamis Relic Armor. You got some scraps now and then, like YY robe, Bahamut staff, but in general no content offered anything.

If only SE could actually balance out their updates instead of favor PLD, WAR, SAM, BLM in every single update. There are more jobs than 4 jobs in this game, even if the developers don't want to admit it.

[Greatguardian]

Oh, Malamasala? That guy is beyond retarded. He vehemently defends his assertion that any Haste value over 25% is broken because Summoner can't break 45s BP:R timer. He also believes Perfect Defense and Zantetsuken are completely worthless (Zant I can see sometimes, but PD? Wtf?).

[Kazen]

PD is one of SMNs best things lol

[Kensagaku]

Oh god yes Mala is annoying. Always tossing out the "well SMN doesn't get" "Well it's not fair because SMN" or "[Insert other whining with the word SMN added]" on EVERY thread they reply to. They act like they know so much about SMN yet if I recall they've made themselves look like an ignorant idiot more than once.

Also I wear my Rajas on the left. ;; It comes first since we read left to right, giving it a position of higher value!

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I'm 99% positive that all the Smns posting on the SE forums are Cleave/Burn Smns and never actually played the job.

[Khiinroye]

Malamasala is Mellowy from Alla, right?

Lets make up a new magic skill called "dancing skill"

I almost took screenshots of the post since there are tons of spelling mistakes and an "Edit: Spelling" at the end, but then I noticed that German phrase in the sig. It's not cool to pick on non-native speakers like that.

Back to the topic though, yeah, it's not a good idea. Nearly everything she (I'm assuming) mentioned can be improved through gear and merits, and DNC main has more potent sambas and waltzes than /DNC. I can't see how an addition of 'Dancing Skill' would be worthwhile.

Now, if we're talking about splitting up the Waltz timer...

[Clash Perez]

He definitely Capitalizes like a German.

[Eeeks]

Ok, so I replied to the DNC:

"There's no need to add 'Dancing Skill' when DNCs can already do all of these things via gear and merits."

The response? Oh my.

Malamasa is one of those guys who thinks they know everything and is very annoying to those of us who actually do.
