Considering the horizontal progression of FFXI and its gear based on situational situations, I have no idea why SE hasn't focused on that type of gear.

Really?

[BRP]

Doesn't matter, Utsusemi renders all of it moot. :<

lol, that would be going into nerf territory. In the end, you can at least make for an interest alternative play style and a superior situational tactic.

EDIT: Yugl you prove to be unable to read whole sentences.

I could fix the tanking problem for the most part in one fell swoop.

1) For players, 1 VIT = 1 DEF. Now it's 2 VIT = 1 DEF, which is absolutely unnecessary.

2) Make Defender give Damage Taken -25% for WAR and Damage Taken -10% for /WAR and the defense issues will be solved. This would make WAR a MUCH better tank and help out PLD/WAR and make it more attractive while maintaining balance.

or you could say that 4 VIT = -1% physical dmg taken, so its not bound by SJ choices!

EDIT: lets say rather 5 VIT = -1% physcial dmg taken, looging at VIT stats of some jobs at 75.

[Gergall]

The Defender idea doesn't seem too outlandish, but the former seems fairly pointless. Its not that we can't gather up enough defense, its that defense doesn't matter.

You will notice the effects of defense in some situations, but only if you stack a ridiculous amount of it. Even then, only against certain mobs.

lol, you should at least have a reason beyond being butthurt

SE already has plenty of situational gears. Then again, logical reasons are nothing to Butthurt Retarded People aren't they?

Now if only I said FFXI didn't have situational gear.

Let me reword that (First one didn't make sense). SE has already focused on situational gears for the past five updates.

And somehow, they have yet to include much ability augmenting items aside from a few measly artifact/relic sets and a set of mystic weapons. If you can't keep up, please just stay out of conversations between functional humans.

Blm do not need something for solo/manaburn situations. What we need is to be able to do the damage we did pre ToAU. Overall blm is a poor shadow of what it use to be. People complained enough that most new content excludes blm or that older content was changed to limit us.

Solo blm sucks for most part due to limited mobs to target or all the other blm concentrated on same mobs. Manaburn is ok i guess if you know the other blm but in general is slow more so when compared to bird camps. So leaves a lot of us doing campaign.

What blm needs is a few new toys to cast excluding limited use spells like retrace. Even tho Tier V spells and Tier IV -ga would be nice i doubt we will ever get those. New elemental enfeebles, new spikes, aspir II or some other toys would be nice. Now i know these would be boring but at least something would be better than normal nerfs we get. I just think we need to get something to get us on par with normal merit and xp parties as they are now not 5 years ago. Most melee around now have no idea really how to work with blm for kills.... stun, sleep, d2 and such seem to be what most like with the occasional nuke. blah.... i doubt we get anything anyways.... here is looking for the next blm nerf.

They need to put rare/ex spells, not just for BLM but for other jobs on HNM. Fuck merits which every person can get easily. Talking rare/ex spells dropping off things like AV/PW which would make people actually strive to kill whatever HNM it might be, more. All they do is put generally useless gear on HNMs, they could easily put rare/ex spells on Vrtra and Jorm ect. this would easily make them be killed.

Augment =/= situational gear. If you can't use words correctly, then stfu.

Just in case you don't understand the logic:

Augment => Situational gear

But

Situational gear is not => Augment

Situational can mean MDB set up for PLD/ACC (Without haste) set ups for melee/EVAs set ups for THF. They are situation because you don't use them most of the time. If you mean Augment gear then you should fucking state it the first time.

[BRP]

Okay with that logic in mind, read this sentence again. Or don't bother because you won't admit you read it wrong.

[Yugl]

This just in everyone: Situational gear only refers to Augment items!

[BRP]

I think I see your problem. Look Yugl at whom I was currently talking to.

[Rocl]

One of us isn't understanding the conversation between Therin and BRP.

You can't tell me that Homam wouldn't be perfect for DNC, right?


I prefer they add usukane set for DNC

DNC needs store TP, not haste, according to a certain idiot

Assuming you were calling Rionel an idiot.

Usukane provides 13% haste (19% with speed belt) and alot of acc and evasion which dancer get traits and merit group II which is based on acc and eva. The acc and eva stacks good with what dancer has already.
It does not just have store TP only.... Usukane on dancer would not be gimp.


EDIT: think i posted this on the wrong thread lol.

R/ex spell scrolls sound like a very good idea to me. Meteor from King Behemoth, anyone? It would be neat if they did this for blue magic too.

I just have a flashback to the huge Raise III scroll mess they had with kirin... so no.

Especially not on HNM mobs that rely on claim. Big no.

Yeah, I would rather see this kind of thing on popped NMs (ZNMs, and the old force-pop NMs) or non-HNM NMs. But I would like to see it on those. :/
