    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    Tapped out for the banner. Tungsten Bangle on another 3 pull. Have enough XIII RS that I should really stop.

    I certainly wouldn't trade in my Lightning SSB for LH. I'm happy with my Boon onry.

    I might try one more pull, just in case. I wish generic sword was in this event, because I have zero swords.

    Whether you'd trade an SSB for one wasn't the point. He said he doesn't need both; I disagree and would certainly take both.

    The Ultimate fights so far have been largely magic based. I'd much rather have had Boon than my LH in all the cases so far. I had to take Shellga to a few of them specifically because I had LH and no Wall.

    Plot twist, your wife spent a fortune trying to get 3 of them but didn't want you to know she dumped money into the game.

    And my point was that it has hardly been essential to have both. It can be a nice option but its nothing special to own both. I have never NEEDED to have LH because there have been other ways around it long as I have boon. So he's right, he doesn't need both.

    I pulled a 5* FF5 sword on the banner. So it's there. FF13 5* generic sword on the other hand, probably not.

    Pretty much. There has never been a point where I had both in my line-up at the same time. And there's never been a fight that has made me think 'That would have gone a lot better/worse if I took the other one'.

    The only advantages I've found of having both is A. Sometimes frees up a slot on your healer and B. It gives you a bit better RS option. A rarely happens as I generally take the missing -ga anyway. B is largely irrelevant too as it mainly falls under 'Red can equip H2H' and my H2H weapons are in VII and XIII (i.e. they both have RS anyway).

    I tend to use Sazh more than Red because Red's MC took forever to arrive (I got Diamond Pin at first event possible) and Sazh can sit in the back row. Right now I take Red everywhere because he isn't level capped and Sazh is.

    It's not a matter of having both in your line up at the same time; and you've already proven my point when you said you could take one or the other to free up another slot on your healer.

    You don't bring both to a fight, you use them when they're needed. If you have Boon, would you bring LH to Rubi, Yuna, or Exdeath? Unlikely. As I said, only having LH I had brought Shellga to ExDeath and Rubicante making Lenna basically useless for 75% of the fight.

    If you want to argue about the definition of "need," fine, you win. If you want to actually argue the main point of my posting and this line of discussion, meaning the ability to use either Boon or LH as needed, then you guys have actually proven my point as to why having both is good.

    RS, weapon types, freeing up ability slots, etc.

    When I took Boon to those fights it never crossed my mind 'Boon is more useful for these fights'. It was entirely down to 'Sazh is 65 and can sit in the back row'. I still slotted Protectga on my healer for all 3 fights so it made no difference from a buff standpoint. Whilst there may be some scenarios that you could forego the -ga on your healer because of Boon/LH, I have never personally done it.

    The only synergy advantage having both offers you is H2H which as I mentioned for me is irrelevant due to the realms where I have H2H.

    For me personally having both offers no benefit other than slightly better stats in FF7 and FF13.


    And of course Eanae! Arguments are what generate the most posts. Even if they're useless posts and make everyone involved look bad!

    "For you" is the key to your post. For you it may not make a difference, but for others it could very well make a difference.

    The only time I have brought Shellga to a fight in the past several months was for the Ultimates. I don't bring Shellga with me otherwise as it frees up a slot on my healer (usually Lenna for now) to bring Diaga. Does that mean that I wouldn't rather have it in some cases though? No, I'd rather have had Boon than LH for ExDeath, Rubi, and Yuna as well as various elite bosses.

    The ability to switch between the mitigation you need is the reason for wanting both. The advantage would be that you don't need to bring Shellga/Protectga to cover what you're missing on harder content.

    Going back to the first post. You're literally saying having the option of both Protectga and Shellga is better than having Lightning's SSB.

    Yeah, no.

    No. Just no. How did I say that? Maybe that's the way you read it, but you're wrong.

    Nice try though.

    You made a direct response to Jem wanting to trade one of his Boon or LH for Lightning SSB and you said no. Maybe you didn't mean to say that, but it's what came out.

    I made a direct response to his post that you don't need both Boon and LH stating that I would gladly take both to be able to swap between them. I then when on to explain in the proceeding posts why it is advantageous to have both Boon and LH.

    Also, you should look up the definition of "literal." Nowhere did I say "I'd rather have Protectga and Shellga than Lightning's SSB."

    Well, that's essentially what you said.

    It is though. You balked at the idea of wanting to swap for Lightning because you'd rather have the option of both.

    Next time, clarify better.

    Okay guy.

    This isn't the first timed during a disagreement you go back to some post at the start and try to completely change what we were discussing.

    Jem said he doesn't need both Boon and LH.

    I said I'd take both to swap when needed.

    You both came back and directly told me that you don't need both for [reasons].

    I came back and said that those reasons helped prove why having both would be beneficial.

    You come back out of fucking left field like "Yo, you said this crazy shit, literally, right there."

    Time to go back to school, Tyrath. Your reading comprehension needs work. Not to mention you can't keep a line of thought going and safeface when you're caught at a dead end. The only person who mentioned Lightning's SSB after Jem's post was you and I directly answered you by explaining that my point had nothing to do with swapping SBs.
