Total BS Beseiged

[Roranora]

Mob HP reaches a point, if they had just scaled this up, where leaving BLM ga3 damage at the norm isn't worth doing because of the hate you'll bring. More HP, then more Ga isn't accurate cause there will only be so many BLMs. While technically there's no proportional difference in BLM nukes doing 200 and the mob having 10k hp than doing 1k nukes and the mob having 50k hp, it's one, a lot more satisfying when that nuke damage scrolls by, and melee WSs are the same either way. As it sits right now, there is no need for BLM; there's nothing they bring to the table in besieged that another job doesn't already do and/or do better; and to do that to a job, is stupid.

Looks like an Emo-BLM to me.

It sounds like you don't even know what emo means.


People have to understand you don't need to nerf dmg to nerf blms. These mobs have 1/4th magic resistance, while stuff like tiamat have 1/2. Stuff like what tiamat have is pretty rare, and to make every mob in besieged have 1/4th is pretty gay.

If you want to nerf blm just make them immune to sleep/grav and give them very high hp. That way you cant just spam grav/sleep as a failsafe and if you go nuts with -ga and tier4 you just steal hate and die. You can also just give mobs kirin style resist, where if you wanted to use eseal you can do high dmg (and probably die) but other then that you get around 1/4th resist anyway.

You are an idiot. Yeah it's totally awesome that blms can't do any damage to mobs attacking now, SE got it right to give blms a feeling of uselessness because WE WANT THOSE MELEES TO HAVE FUN TOO!

Ever think that there are other ways to solve a problem without nerfing? Mobs with more HP, flee speed, etc are just shit that came off the top of my head.

BTW congratulations on getting the kill shots of mobs no one gives a crap about.

Why don't you shut it and stop posting if no one cares?

I know the 3 Besieged have been ALOT of fun for everyone I know (LS, friends, etc.) because of this BLM nerf.

Now, tell me how SE fix stuffs with no BLM nerf when an Army of they could Aga all mob and end Besieged in 30sec?
- More HP? Throw more Aga.
- Flee speed? lol. Yea, still throw more Aga.

Im happy, and most ppl are happy they can FINALLY melee stuff before BLMs get them. Now cry me a river, its not like Besieged is the only thing to do in FFXI right?

Despite the obvious fact that you're just a trolling little bitch, its pretty absurd to make BLMs IV nukes do the same as a single critical hit from a monk. The changes made to the strength and rate at which the beastmen forces increase are ok, and we'd still be getting our asses run over even if BLM was still as potent pre-nerf. This nerf is pretty foul.

Dear BLM:

Suck it up, princess. Don't be a liability by leveling only one job, LOL

Oh, except with DRG. In that case its allllllll ok.

[Khamsin]

I just had a besieged and got nothing for it, and others got 700. I HP'd right at the end, and got the CS right as I popped at HP, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Nothing. Now what excludes DRGs?

lol@rora

He is how nerfed blm is. My tier 4 nukes at best were doing 200. I whip out my Jupiter's Staff and was doing 50 everytime I connected. What is the point in nuking?

Yeah, agreed. Fortitude is the only one that non-blms struggle on (besides Love).

[Lylie]

Melees (aka like 11 jobs) can finally do stuffs better than BLMs (aka only 1 job) and you guys crying, whinning and moaning you can't Ga3 or tier4 stuffs for one event with no real reward? Just lol.

[Wizerd]

Alright, forgive my server for being gimp and all, but melee were nerfed just as much as BLMs for Besieged, from what I could tell.

I was attacking a normal mob (not a THF or NIN or anything), with capped Katana merits, sushi, and full accuracy gear, and my accuracy was hitting somewhere around 33%. In addition, due to stacking accuracy gear, I was hitting for shit. 5-40 on normal mobs, and almost 100 on Qutrubs (not very good). The highest WS I saw was somewhere in the 500 range - and it took a mere 2% off the mob. The highest I saw on a Qutrub was my own, for 1040.

Also, BLMs were hitting 250ish pretty consistantly over here, didn't see many nukes doing less than that.

[NynJa]

just because melee arent #1 (and a lot of times melee's do come as equals), doesnt mean they are incapable / USELESS.
