Ares Cuirass vs Valor Surcoat

[Howard Roark]

all our mages have a cure V macro set for one person, and he doesnt play palidin that much, he's our relic gkt sam and has a name a mile long Dragonlionking



joke in our ls

/ma "Cure V" Dragonliofuckhe'sdead

one dude got rejected from LS almost solely on his name: apoulmadeekoud or some such fghds[sp?] since none of the mages wanted to /ta "Applemarychoda" or w/e

I won't be spending 7mil on it to not use it, especially low-man stuff. I don't have valor yet, and I'd prefer constant refresh over only 2 enmity. Similarly, parade gorget I use for low-man stuff and ritter otherwise. Depending on the mob, it's more work then it's worth with mobs like Khim. Ritter is sex (Harmonia's just didn't do it for me ): )

Ares's Cuirass hands-down. You could spend a lot of time and effort gear swapping for 4 enmity but in the end, it makes very little difference time-wise to reach a particular amount of hate you want to be at and upkeep if you "lose" 4 enmity.

I went with it full time now, along with gorget for /nin. It is quite amazing owning a Dalmatica for Paladin.

Curing Waltz II for Pld/Dnc, Casters Chr+Targets Vit are the main modifiers, and holy shit what do Plds in Koenig have coming out of every orifice on their bodies? Chr and Vit, awesome.

The funny thing about it is how awesomely the job combo works.

Uninterruptible TP based Cures+Shield Mastery
Joyeuse+Great DD gear options
Koenig RAWKS for /Dnc cures
Animated Flourish, Aspir Samba, Drain Samba II, Cure III+1, Curaga, -Eva or -Def Steps, whatever helps you with the mob, so you can keep popping your Flourishes off, ERASE
Gravity Flourish (hell, why not), and Accuracy Bonus+Subtle Blow+Sneak/Invis

ON TOP of all the hate tools Pld has anyway, I keep telling my AU Sky shell leader (Pld, Nin, Mnk) that he has to level his Dancer sub, I've gotten half the shell to agree, it would be hilarious, and anything where you aren't going to need /Nin, or if you just feel like blooding it up, /Dnc is great.

They're hell to get hate off of in Campaign, only place I've really bumped into them so far.

If you're in a LS long enough, and your mages don't switch around their cure V panic button, paralyna / etc macros with tank names (in our cases its all of what, 4? regular tanks) and you die to blinking chances are you're trying hard and they're lazy.

We have a few good whm who always keep names in macro, just edit them right before the pull of every fight, takes 30 seconds and it's made of win.

Don't you want to be made of win? Don't you?

For a WHM it makes sense however, WHMs aren't always going to be the ones throwing around cures. From a RDM perspective, theres not a single chance I'm going to be changing around my macros by adding names to them. I have a G15 and every macro pallet is full with things that I need there.

Edit: Don't mean to derail >_>

Cure (1-4~5) Macro (lets say Ctrl-5)

/book 3
/set 1

Same Ctrl or Alt has three or four macros on it

Ctrl-5
/ma "Cure IV" Maintank1
Ctrl-4
/ma "Cure IV" Maintank2
Ctrl-6
/ma "Cure IV" Maintank3

Alt-5
/book 1
/set 4 (whatever your original Rdm or Whm macro palette is)

You get the idea I hope, I'm not a mage, but after using this for WSes I use a lot (replace the /ma "Cure IV" bit with /ws "Raging Rush", "Steel Cyclone", "Full Break", "Ground Strike") it really helped neaten up my main macro set, and changing between the two sets is quick, since I just use my WS > TP gear macros as the triggers, gaining 5 extra slots to change in the process.
