Apoc Nigh Earrings

[aurik]

blms who refuse to (or can't) sub whm should be shot. Magnet's a perfectly fine earring choice, infinitely moreso if one tends not to magic burst.

[Kerberoz]

Oh look Aurik posted. It's about my subjob! So original.

Tell me, do you nuke in novio+magnetic?

I would if I had novio, but I decided not to lot on it.

[Baha]

Career THF, but I'm very reluctant to buckle and get Hollow. The stats are very nice, tp when not /NIN, and very good for WS's too.
Only problem is that it seems like such a small relative improvement, won't make or break WS's vs Pixie, or even a lowly minuet earring, especially with latent on.

Am going to level other jobs, was lucky enough to be happy with my ra/ex decisions so far (Suppa/Rajas), would hate to break that streak.
Ethereal is the only one that's making me question the decision really, I don't expect to be a superdedicated mage player, let alone swing BLM epeen around. But PLD, or NIN/DRK and such, hm, maybe~

Wow.

Almost as shocking as a taru blm who claims to know it all but doesn't even have whm sub levelled.

Are you 12?

[Lordwafik]

BLMs with magnetic should be shot.

People who only see things in this world in 1 way should be shot.

[Kerberoz]

Explain to me why magnetic earring does not suck for a BLM. I'm not talking about for your other jobs. I'm talking about for BLM.

[Guyverarmor]

hi!

i've just dropped in to say that you are a fucking moron if you chose static or hollow

i picked Magnetic, because it was the correct choice for my mage.

hi!

I've just stopped by to say that you seem to have something large and misshapen lodged dangerously far up your anus. Might want to have a doctor look at that.

Actually, I'd say you're the one having a large rectal obstruction. Are you butthurt over the fact that you chose Static?

LOL. Quite the opposite, I've never once regretted it. The point of my comment about the current painful state of your ruptured sphincter is that you seem quite ridiculously overzealous in your crass degradation of anyone with a dissenting opinion from yours. I would have nothing but respect for someone who was able and willing to voice their perspective on an issue in a logical and coherent manner, even if ultimately I disagreed with them. However, simply resorting to "you are a fucking moron if you did so-and-so", in place of something more constructive, does not tend to paint one's intelligence in much of a admirable light.

Mifaco... don't you have some bottin mysticmaker to do?....

[Lordwafik]

Allrighty.

* MP +20
* Conserve MP +5
* Spell Interruption Rate -8%
* MP Regeneration While Healing +1

MP+20 - MP's always welcome.
Conserve MP+5 - always welcome
Spell interruption - useless imo unless stacked with alot of other +spell interupt
HMP - always welcome, there are other earrings , yes, but I like a clear inventory.


Now for my BLM, why does the following earring not appeal to me?

* Mind +2
* Magic Defense Bonus +2
* Bonus Damage Added To Magic Burst

As a BLM and only BLM :

MND +2 - I don't care
MDef+2 - I don't care
MAB bonus on Bursts - I do not recall the last time I magic bursted, however to a BLM who does MB more than once per quarter anually, this would be an appealing earring trait.



Literally, I do not recall the last time I MB'd, I remember having this argument what, 5 or so months ago? and back then I didn't remember, It's been that long.


Now I'm sure you're in a HNMLS or something that relies alot on Magic Bursts or something? For you, the static would be an amazing earring, however for players like me and aurik it's not worth anything.

However do I say something as childish as people who want it should be shot? No, because I understand this game isn't a 1 set mind. It's not like the earring said MAB+50, it's just a MAB on bursts, which I have not participated in the longest time.

Same reason really for choosing to lot on Sorcerer's Gloves. I didn't get it for the MAB on burst, I got it for the 10 Dark skill. Aside from the Burst trait, the earring offers virtually nothing for BLM, wheras the other earring offers a few things. It's all a matter of personal preference.

[Kerberoz]

It's not MAB, but whatever.

Conserve MP+5 does... nothing. A career BLM would use novio+moldavite to nuke unless they're mentally deficient. What are you going to use the conserve MP for...? Curing?

You seem to be obsessed with /whm. Are you the kind of people who TP burn everything and use "lolblm" for cure whores, or what?

MP+20 - useless after you cast blink
Conserve MP+5 -does absolutely nothing at all
Spell interruption - useless
HMP - there are other earrings
Magic Attack Bonus-5 - awesome!

...and I pretty much only magic burst at Fafhogg, but an extra 5% damage a couple times a week is more useful than Magnetic, which does... absolutely nothing. Zero. Ever.

[Lordwafik]

You asked if aurik was the 12 year old, yet the way you're replying makes me feel "pot kettle" about you. Try not to feel offended when someone has a different opinion than you.

It's not MAB, but whatever.

Damage bonus on burst, ok. You know what I was getting at though.

Conserve MP+5 does... nothing. A career BLM would use novio+moldavite to nuke unless they're mentally deficient. What are you going to use the conserve MP for...? Curing?

A career BLM masters all aspects of his job, including his subjob. Masters the fact you don't need to pump out maximum damage in every scenario. What if your role calls to be semi support and nuker in the same frame, which is what our BLM are used for in salvage? (Nuke on the way up and help the team with status at the end since nukes aren't so special for the amount of MP used).

You seem to be obsessed with /whm. Are you the kind of people who TP burn everything and use "lolblm" are cure whores, or what?

Obsessed? No, understand the benefits of being versatile? Yeah. And did you just accuse the leader of the first Manaburn Dynamis LS if he tp burns everything?

MP+20 - useless after you cast blink
Conserve MP+5 -does absolutely nothing at all
Spell interruption - useless
HMP - there are other earrings
Magic Attack Bonus-5 - awesome!

MP+20 not useless, funnily enough, to help activate ugg pendant (another item that gives +8 mab) that much faster.

Conserve MP isn't as useless as you think. Especially in a place like dynamis in Manaburn, a situation where you are constantly pumping out high amounts of MP, a 5-7% damage increase won't help more than saving MP from 2 spells so you can nuke for a third.

Hmp yes there's other earrings I aknowledged, there's also inventory space too which I like having. But that's my point, we both play our BLMs differently.

...and I pretty much only magic burst at Fafhogg, but an extra 5% damage a couple times a week is more useful than Magnetic, which does... absolutely nothing. Zero. Ever.

Precisely! Now imagine your LS never does Fafhogg, and only has one novio earring because JOL was a boring fight with not so much interest in repeating it, and you've got yourself a useless earring in our situation (if we were to choose static), wouldn't it be equally as useless as your view of the magnetic?

Extra 5% damage times 0 times a week is an extra 0% damage.

People who get shot should be shot.

(PS. I'm having a hard time picking my earring, I've yet to do so. My next and only other job to 75 will be PUP, and seeing how none of those are that great for it, probably pick a good earring for BLM)

Considering all the apocalypse nigh earring were pieces of mediocrity, I didn't choose any. When one of my jobs are seriously affected by them I'll go pick one up.

It's mostly because I can't post in ffxi advanced/newbie without him coming in with "level whm dur-hur" every single time I make a post regardless of what it's about.

No. I will not level it. Ever. Get over it. Leave me alone. You are a stalker.

And yes, if you never magic burst, Static is useless. Magnetic is too. They're both useless if you do not magic burst.

[BRP]

Protip: The fact you refuse to level it is a lot worse than the fact you don't have it leveled. What are you trying to prove?

I have nothing to prove to anyone, and it's a useless sub.

Ok, but if you are saying he is immature and you are more mature, you'd just not reply to it.

Ok, you don't want to level WHM, that's fine, but the way you reply to these topics isn't so different than what he's saying to you is it? You attack people with a different opinion instead of understanding there's not a lone track to do things in FFXI. You bash my earring by calling it useless because it doesn't fit in your terms of useful, wheras you don't see me insulting static earring users because they have a use for those. There's more than 1 way to play BLM.

And yes, if you never magic burst, Static is useless. Magnetic is too. They're both useless if you do not magic burst.

Useless indicates there's nothing the earrings can do. However, people have made a use for these earrings, therefore they are not useless. They cater to their play style.

If you are a career BLM and don't plan on playing anything else, pick static. I agree. Seriously though, you are a noob for not leveling whm.
