    I'd blame this on manaburn to 75, except that's not really a huge thing on my server (and stupid people in manaburns=multiple deaths to all involved). I blame parties that won't go out without a blm, and won't let a blm die if he overnukes. I blame KI blm boards for just posting blatantly wrong information. I blame Allakhazam main boards...just because. And finally...I blame all the shitty "OMG WE NEED 1461375 BLMS TO BEAT *insert HNM easily beat with 6 competent players*" ls's that propagate the stupid line of thought that blms are necessary to beat anything in this game. It's like the old "throw more rngs" train of thought, and it just makes crappy players level blm because they think they can get in on the hnm "fun".

    So yeah...most of these new blms suck donky dong, and I hope they all die. I don't ask much...just a basic knowledge of your stats, and basic blm play style. I don't except someone that plays like me, because every good blm has a slightly different style of play/equipment set up based on personal preference (I <3 -enmity more than any blm I know, and I really downplay int alot). So go out there, read some blm advice that doesn't orginate from KI, and watch a good blm in action and take notes. Please, stop drawing attention to the job...if SE nerfs us, I'm going to personally hunt down every noob 75 blm and beat them up Jay and Silent Bob style.
    You can have my babies at any time. Just say the word.

    I once had some BLMs tell me that having a full INT build was better than a INT/Skill mix on HNM of sky god level or higher.

    Well maybe he was talking about survivability. If his spells get resisted, he isn't going to be pulling hate.

    lol Kirin, his 4 minions, dynamis-xarcabard, and and a few Jailers, (aside from other mobs with 50% magic defense bonus like the cop wyrms) are the kinds of mobs where a confident build of +skill and INT is your best choice, if you constistantly aero4 Kirin for 47, I suggest equipping some damn +ele skill, things where +INT all the way is ok, is soloing shit, and while exping, you should have at LEAST+10 ele skill in merits at 75 (I know some out there have more than 1 mage at 75), if only some blm's knew this. I see way too many either go ALL +skill or all INT and fail both ways, dmg or just resists up the ass. I could type more, but I think I made a point and yeah I agree with those above me.
