The Official Forums III: It goes on forever, now.

The average IQ of the posters raised by 5 when you did that.

Sadly, that puts it at 25...

Think you're being generous there. Raising the average IQ by 5 would put it closer to 6.

I think -25 would be more realistic.

I was bored at work today and decided to dig a little deeper into the general discussion forum than I should have. I take back what I said about it getting better. If you told me some of those threads were started by a chimp or a bottle nosed dolphin I wouldn't even be impressed.

Hey, now.

Dolphins are pretty smart.

A long time ago I posted this here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...-are-300-skill
- pointing out how the OP said absolutely none of the nin AF pieces are needed for nin now, which made me facepalm.

2 days ago, s/he posted this in the same thread:

All af1 body does is let you hit a little faster, but with af3+2 4/5 and ocelot's, you notice the extra hits from the set bonus and the af3+2 body is far superior on damage per hit. Add to the fact that af3+2 body augments migawari, which is far more important than a slight increase in your attack speed, and you can see how while af1+1 body is nice, its not my personal choice.

So yeah, you tp in your af1+1 and when you get hit with an AOE Damage+DOT attack from that HNM your tanking and your non-augmented migawari doesn't save you and you die, I'll have enough life left from migawari/af3+2 body augment to recast utsusemi and survive the DOT/or the stray hit after the AOE and before I can recast utsusemi, long enough for the Whm to cure me to full. Because remember, that -5% on your delay is more important than augmenting migawari, better damage per hit, +5 critical hit rate, and the peice going towards the set bonus from af3+2. That's silly, right?

My forehead hurts now, I facedesked so hard. Posted a reply, but... Someone PLEASE rip this person a new one. -.-

[S N K]

Wow and talk about a necro bump at that. Someone apparently takes forever to read posts made to them months ago.

[Greatguardian]

This part I always disagree with though. People that expect to gear the best, and adapt their alliances to 18 most suitable jobs, then complain that it wasn't hard enough.

It should be perfectly obvious AND expected that if you have a relic/empy/mythic there shouldn't be any hard content left for you, because you picked up the "easy mode" weapon. Same when you are not filling the party with PUPs and SCHs and DNCs and what else is less popular than PLD, WAR, WHM, BRD etc.

You always have the option of making content hard. And every single person always picks the easy way by wearing the best gear and coming as the best job. If the topic is difficulty, then the problem is yourself (and friends). You can always have a fun and challenging battle if you aim for it.

Woooooow

I can understand a little bit about this when it comes to bringing optimal jobs. Like back in the promyvian fights, I heard people talk about how easy it was if you brought 4-6 smn, and refused to redo the fights if you had less. (Also reminds me of a walkthrough I read for GTA3. Almost all the tips started the same. "Its easy. First input the tank code....")

But yeah, the part about "the gear you wear and weapon you use" being easymode is pretty confusing.

This guy is still going.

[dumb stuff here]...In any case DC Universe Online is looking more like a better MMORPG for the PS3 so I will be hanging it up permanently soon so fuck you and everybody else to be honest including SE and the mods

he mad

I unfortunately can't post in reply (due to not having my security token on me to log in), but I like how he completely misses the point regarding Adventure Fellows and the fact there isn't really anything worth farming (for gil/hr) that you can use them on. He then talks about how he specifically uses a gk on his fellow to skillchain with his THF. Which means he needs saved TP. Which means not only lost WS frequency from over-TPing, but also lost "skillchains" if he bothers to swap Thief Knife and lose his stored TP right before his fellow WS's.

Also, somehow SE is using TH to fix their in-game economy and people on the forums are pushing their "populace agenda".

SE should implement a small ffxi-related IQ test before people are allowed to post.

1.) What % does haste cap at?

2.)If Given the choice, would you rather use a Magical based WS, or a physical based WS?

3.) Can WS's that do not have "deals critical damage" Crit? (assuming no Sneak Attack)

4.) Generally what elemental spell tends to do more damage? Ice or Water?


ectectect....

[BorkBorkBork]

Answers I assume that would be given

1. Haste is not needed,you can play perfectly well without swapping gear.
2. I would assume elemental because it combines damage from physical and magic damage.
3. Yes using atmas, for example using razed ruin that adds 30% crit damage would give you a 30% increase regardless if the ws can crit or not.
4. Water, you learn it earlier so you'll have more practice at it.

2.)If Given the choice, would you rather use a Magical based WS, or a physical based WS?

Trick question if you're Brewing.

hahahaha so true

Trick question. Since you learn stone first, everything else is irrelevant.

Unless I missed something, he posted his gear in the wrong thread?
