I WS in M.ACC gear because WS's have elemental attrubutes!

Elaborate town gear setup or legitimate setup, no one will ever know ^_^

Elusive Earring x2 because PLD Evasion is so gud.

(That's not a Ritter Gorget)

You mean it's not!? dood there is a guy here that merited evasion for his 75 PLD <.<
i thought it was godly (most unicorn people know who i'm talking about)

[rienea]

Partied with this guy a while back... Unsynced as 63, I think.

Everything is probably what you think it is. Back piece is a Mist Silk Cape.

Said he wasn't made of mp and thus could not do Dia, slow and paralyze, only refresh and haste.

Level sync is awesome.

*edit* At least he didn't melee >.>

Hah, that's terrible. I would prio Dia2 over Haste on anyone, except possibly the tank depending on the mob. What kills me is the MND/INT+5 wand is so damn cheap too...

Looks like he just came out of a level cap event/area

The mob was Lesser Colibri's.

I don't remember the setup, but they had to bring me in on SCH to heal because the RDM felt he didn't have the MP to do so.

He ended up leaving the party after I asked him, in /tell, whether or not he'd only done level sync parties so far.

They dont reflect, so Dia2 is still badass.

I can understand, since I was that level range not too long ago. At the very least, he should have had enough MP to do the haste/refresh cycle, and at least plop Dia2, para, and slow on every mob. Adding curing to that might be a strain on the MP, but there is usually at least one other healer in the party, whether it be mage or DNC.

Nah, I know they don't reflect, that's why I asked him to do it. I ended up doing the enfeebs + curing.

His refresh cycles were strange, he'd refresh the paladin, refresh himself, sit for 1 tic, get up and refresh the paladin again, then randomly haste someone. Just overall a confused player.

As for MP, mp+ gear is plentiful especially around level 50+, some of it isn't very expensive, and a light staff would at least give more cost effective cures if he ever did have to heal. Also, AF.

Once I learned to figure out who needed Refresh, and who needed Haste ahead of time, and alternate the casts as soon as they were up, and toss out other spells in between, I had _much_ more time to rest. That alone solved many of my Elvaan RDM problems post 50.

But yes, that guy is all sorts of gimp/idiot/confused.

Yeah it takes a little while to get used to, but if they never get a chance to, whether it's by syncing too low, or too lenient party leaders, it's just gonna be another gimp RDM75. Making good progress for that so far :D

Fulltimed. Gigant Axe, Beak Mantle +1. Note the Chocobo Whistle.
He also argued for 10 minutes before leaving town that he wanted to go /DNC. Leader wouldn't kick him. >_>

EDIT: Is this really so difficult?

hmmm, it that's what I think it is, a 50 cap "I don't want shitty synced stats" gear set, than there is nothing wrong at all and actually pretty good. Now, if they are using this at 75 then they are fucking morons.

[Mayareira]

Its so damn obvious, definitely a capped event gear...and a good one I guess.

I've been spending almost much time in Campaign/Beseiged skilling up RDM as I have been in actual leveling parties. Capped skills are so worth it though... >:3

[DragonReborn]

Sorry for the shitty graphics and bad paint skills xD but two rdms with two mules (a bard and thf) They pulled with the thf then had the bard try to sing ballad while trying to duo faust.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...185/Glitch.png

They ended up somehow glitching it so it would just stand there and take whatever they did. End up killing while he glitched there doing nothing.

[Araelus]

I've read before about a Faust "glitch" where the pathing makes it stick, but that one takes actual skill. It doesn't just stand there.

[Charismatic]

Nah, there's definitely a glitch that makes it just stand still.
I have a video of a BLM and two RDMs takin him down and the BLM goes right up in front of him and pokes him and all that jazz.

BLM takes no damage until he types something like 'haha look at me I'm faust and I do nothing' might not have been exactly that but it's close.
But just after he types that, Faust starts moving again and wrecks his shit. Fucking hilarious.
