Yes and getting hit should rarely prove lethal, and if it does the -10% damage wouldn't have saved you anyways. Excal trashes this if you are going to even use pld.

Or doing a relic for another job!

Yeah, yeah, everyone has a Joy! Badteclaire just looks cooler in town paired with Aegis. :3
Edit: 4th relic for him with stage 3 dagger and horn coming. :3 Maybe. :3
Edit: I'm the bomb at free shoops, I know. :3 Masterpieces not for sale, sorry. :3
aegis, excal, joyeuse arguement should be insta-ban, or at least make a separate "Aegis Vs Excal Vs Joyeuse " thread
ya i guess you could just move burtgang pictures to the gimp thread; excal vs burt is basically a haste/acc build vs a str build in terms of utility. If you aren't blood tanking, it's balls and even then, excal makes you more useful.
fuck it's gimp compared to a joytoy 90% of the time
Wow! Huge grats Zeit!
Burtgang is not gimp.. Anyone who says that is an idiot.
Now maybe its gimp for someone like say... Stan or some other maxed out gear player.
And maybe its not as useful as Joy in some situations as well as Excali.
It's situationally the best tanking sword in game, and for that reason, it is not "gimp".
Not useless but a massive waste of gil for a minor improvement in very few situations.
i think the very definition of sucking is not being useful in almost anything
damnit colenzo why did you change your avatar. i love the american psycho one lol
Completed Relic/Mythic weapons list:Wrong thread unless its a Apoc, Amano, or Yochi
I'm a 75PLD, and i know very well how to play the job, as any sub job you can toss me.
I also have a few other 75 jobs and i'd tell you if i had the time and resources i'd get Mandau, Nirvana, Excalibur, Bravura, and hell even a Gugnir before i would consider getting a Burt.
Is it because Burt is a bad weapon? not entirely
Its more because its uses are so very limited it wouldn't be worth the time over current alternatives.
Again: Useless Weapon? not 100%, Do i feel its worth the time and effort/gil based on the gains? no
Nirvana before Burt.. Really?
That is just a bit too bandwagon.
Gungir hating is even worse than Burtgang. Has even less reason.
IMO Burt is probably more useful than gungnir since the OAT lance is pretty much better in any situation you would be using drg in anyways.
Btw, do you have PLD 75, a Burt, an Excal, a Joytoy and have used them in every situation?
PLD was my first 75. I was a main tank for various HNMLS from the days of /war and hp builds to the modern day /nin and /rdm tanking. I tanked in about every situation possible. I've tanked in gimped up and pimped up gear.
What does that mean? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
There's plenty of people out there who will never touch PLD, yet know more about the job than most of the 75s out there. All you need is a good understanding of game mechanics.
