Princess Bards

[Fng]

On my BRD, I don't accept lazy players. I'll kick WAR from PT who don't voke the mobs I am pulling, and generally leave if people want to slack off. I don't spend my time running around like Sailer moon on an eight ball so that some lazy fuckin WAR can sit and mash a rampage macro while jacking off to the latest neko-sentai pr0n.

I got an invite from a friend, so I came out to this party he was in..

It took me 30 minutes to explain to the nub WAR wearing some stupid +2 str hat (the entire time) why voking is important..

"But the NIN is doing a great job w/ hate" /sigh

[blister1]

I didn't mind xp'ing with Pld's as long as a Rdm was present. If it was a Smn or Whm, no fucking thanks. If anything, I'll xp with a Drk before I xp with a Smn. Although post patch, it isn't nearly as bad although most still suck at it.

Edit: Not really bashing on the job, but a lot of the horrid pt's I've been have involved a Smn main healing or being a "backup" healer in pt's which it wasn't necessary at all.

i love my brd, i take pride in playing brd its alot of fun. i dont really care what jobs i xp with if they are LS or really close friends. On my way to 75 plds just seemed to slow down the xp well at least 90% of the ones i was in a party with. I lvled to 75 with a SMN as my static healer

When i login im always /anon unless i want to lvl mnk or something like that but it never fails everyday as soon as i get ingame i get spammed with xp pt invites. I have ppl that are on my flist that send me messages to xp with them because they cant find a brd and ask me to /tell them once i get in.

In Parties i offer to xp on my brd once i get a buffer on another job i dont really care, I dont like the people that just assume im going to change my job. I just dont like ppl that get mad at me when i come /nin because im blown out from smoking blunts : : /nin is so much easier when im high.

When it comes to Xping on Brd its Bros before Hoes!

We need to make those Mamook pts again ;(

Now I'm not a princess BRD, I've never turned down an invite to xp with a pick up party if I've been seeking. However, I actually plan on leveling PLD sometime soonish and I have every intention of being a Princess PLD.

Me: PLD
Rukenshin: BRD (he promised!) though I have to level his WHM sub for him I think =(
RDM: second account mule with a level 54 RDM. controlled by either me or Ruke.

+ 3 misc. people

It will be made of win. :D

I will not merit on PUP without a BRD

best post in the history of BG.

Oh really? Care to explain why?

It's genius in its absurdity. It could be the ultimate poster quote for allaKI noobs who consider BG elitists. And because it's funny.

Its absurd to not want a BRD to have the best exp per hour, especially when PUP benefits greatly from Minuet? If you're just trying to bash PUP, then think of something better please.

If you want to dig deeper into the statement, I do not create pickup parties with my PUP and usually have a LS buddy come BRD before I start asking more people. I dislike wasting people's time.

Yes, it is absurd to want a brd to not have the best exp per hour. Did you miss a negative or do you really expect brds to go out of their way to gimp their pts with a sub-par damage dealer by choice? (as opposed to helping an ls mate/friend get buffer)

shadow dont be mad plz~ ._. was just eating breakfast and couldnt pass this one up, I'm turning off browser in a second!

I've been leveling bard (64 now) and I guess I would fall into the "Princess" category. What can I say I love RDM WAR/NIN/MNK/RNG x4 pts. Now I say I guess because I bust my ass every minute of every fight. I sub ninja so I'm automatic puller of course and I make sure that if we aren't getting the most xp/hr that it's not my fault.

Best pt I've built in a while was trolls/crawlers camp in Wajoam Woodlands. WAR WAR MNK RNG RDM. Everyone was well equipped, (I'm pretty anal about how people equip themselves and I was pleased), and each member did just a great job. WARs always voked off me etc etc.

Call me a princess w/e. But I don't see how its a bad thing to want a top notch xp/hr party when you are busting your ass the whole time. (Or I'll level with friends even if they are drg or pup, but really a good drg is awesome on Colibri)

What a stupid comment. As both a BRD and a PUP I find that even those classes that you consider "mediocre" are putting in enough damage to make it worth my time. as long as they aren't stupid. I will leave, or kick, anyone who thinks that they are getting a free ride with me, and let me tell you, I have ran into far more shitty WARs and NINs and MNKs than any other loljob out there, and I love to boot them for one of those loljobs and watch my exp per hour go up. The best WARs and NINs and MNKs are fine with me, but I usually do go by player name, and I'd rather take someone I know won't let me down, then hope I just got some GED idiot from the dozen "popular" melee jobs seeking at any time, or begging me to join them.

[Xerlic]

I go /nin because I don't want to be an MP sink.

And I am too busy pulling the next monster.. Literally Elegy > Minuet > Elegy > March > Elegy > Ballad 2 > Elegy

At times I think I want to upgrade Elegy recast. (if that's even an option?)

Pull with both Battlefield and Carnage.

[Devek]

Try puks? Lol.. a ninja trying to tank puks is a joke. Without food their DD is horrible and between getting fucked up and spending all their time trying to keep blink up it just blows.

Their AoEs do tend to eat shadows a lot, but overall they aren't too powerful. They don't have any multihit moves so its mostly AoE you need to watch out for. Still good xp though, and I had a NIN for my Puk parties. Though he ate food. lol

Puk's seem to attack with 150 delay :\
and why would you not eat food for puks ??

Because it was 2am and I grouped colibri and puks into the same junk. Vs colibri they blow cause of their low damage(and without a pld holding strong hate everyone else looses food too) and vs puks they blow cause of how fucked up they get.

Dang you are still proving to this day Xerlic's BRD > My BRD




(actually I have it on my macro pallet, but by time I hit the L2 instead of R2 the regular one is up already >.>)

[Tordall]

Make one macro for both elegies.

Do:
/equip range "Horn+1"
/ma "Carnage Elegy" <t>
/p <ellegy> <t>
/wait .25
/ma "Battlefield Elegy" <t>

[Fng]

That doesnt work on PS2.

At least I cant get it to work for Utsu either.

[Meloria]

It should work. I play on PS2 and used to tier thunder 4 and thunder 3.

/equip Main "Jupiter's Staff"
/ma "Thunder IV" <t>
/wait 1
/ma "Thunder III" <t>

Back on topic I had both types of parties the other day on my rdm. I got invited by a pld. He had a whm, sam, mnk, and drg. If I could have just pulled puks the party would have been ok. After averaging around 5k an hour for 2 hours I had had enough. I gave a 30 minute warning then took off to eat some food. Couldn't pull skoffins because it took them forever to kill and drained the whm's mp. Mamool were difficult for them too. I found myself very bored in this party.

When I came back I got into an LS party brd/nin/nin/war/mnk. Got around 14k and hour which was very nice considering I don't merit very often. This party was intense. Non-stop pulls from start to finish.

Will I seek for party on rdm? Sure if I'm desperate, but I'll try to stick to LS parties.

This is the route I went for merriting on my jobs also. Its pretty much the only way to do it nowadays imo.

You're limiting this description of yourself to when on your brd only?? ^.-

Not to derail this thread but point out the sub-par melee in this recent parser of mine on a Greater Colibri camp: Vytiss (MNK/NIN), Toth and Serenade (PUP/WAR), Ligerzero (NIN/WAR), or Zervilhaa (THF/NIN). A decently geared PUP may surprise you. Bard just makes the master that much better.
