Gimp/Confused/WTF Player Thread XVII: Keep it Fresh

[S N K]

Also lol I know how to fucking gear a job for melees, seeing as how I have pretty much all of them leveled, bst is 1 of 2 jobs left for cap and I'm trying to xp it fast not waste my inventory on shit I don't really need to reach 66.

Post your DD gear for BST then.

Most of you seem to miss the face I'm not xping the job for the fun of it so I don't care about 1 or 2 pieces of gear that are not really gonna do much anyway other than take up space.

Nobody seriously cares if you're doing it for fun or not. The fact you posted a gimp when you're gimping it up yourself on a job which is usually the last resort for a normal party invite.

Edit:

sure, it's only 1 space, but w/e

I didn't even know those existed. I wish those things where around when I leveled all my DD jobs.... fuck...

[Snick]

I wish I was cool enough to not need to take constructive criticism.

Brotip; Concede.

[NynJa]

What's worse is the Maat's Cap players who level every job to 75 before beating him, because they couldn't manage it at 66.

Great, so you can waste gil on meds, waste your time possibly refarming testimonies since you'll probably lose a couple times, just to be "SUP BRAH I BEAT AT 66 IM BETTER THAN U".

I'd rather do it at 75 with my eyes closed.

[noodles355]

What's this argument of "Gimps shouldn't post gimps!"?
Rubbish.

Who cares is it's hypocritical, all it means is more gimp gear for use to laugh at,

66 is halfway to level 75, XP wise. Most of the Maat fights aren't that hard, especially for heavy DD's.

Even if you wipe a few times, its still probably cheaper/easier/faster than gaining another 450,000 XP (unless you're AB'ing), especially for jobs like BST, BLM, THF, NIN that don't get invites once you can start TP burning colibiri.

XPing isn't free; you need food and gear (unless you don't mind ending up here).

Gimps shouldn't post gimps then get indignant when they're called gimps.

Only fight I had to repeat at 66 was drk. If you're levelling the job to 75 anyway then fair enough, but levelling to 75 *just* for beating Maat, with no plans to ever touch the job again? Yeah, I'm gonna have a chuckle at that. Because...

I never really had intentions of fighting Maat again after beating him on PLD, but now that I know the second/third/etc. job fights can be done at 75 maybe I will. I beat PLD Maat at lv68 on my second try. I actually found it quite challenging, possibly because I had to completely change my play style to win.

You're all calling Dazd gimp over two pieces of gear? On BST? Talk about trying too hard. Anyone who even invites a BST to a party shouldn't be expecting much anyway. Considering I know Dazd on a personal level, I can attest to the fact that none of his jobs are gimp. Fact of the matter is, people find it entertaining to attack those who post gimps more than the gimp itself. I find it fun as well, but two pieces if gear? It's a Maat job, who gives a shit. No ones being forced to exp with him. If they are bothered so much by it, they can just leave.

Dazd why are you still on Remora?

Why wouldn't someone expect much of a BST in EXP? Im expecting someone to show up and give it their all, regardless of if you are on the cool DDs or not. Does being on BST give you a pass for being a gimp? Hell, being on BST gives you more of a reason to play the job well simply because of the said jobs shortcomings.

Bolded is a hypocritical statement that goes against the spirit of these threads because you can't just throw around "well it's a maat job, who gives a fuck" when people use very similar excuses for being poorly geared in EXP parties.

"Hey guys, Im gonna wear DEF rings on SAM cause I don't give a fuck about the job till it hits 75" or "Guys, I dont have any gil so im gonna 5/5 NIN AF and eat sushi to make up for hauby k? See where this is going?

I guess if the job isn't SAM or WAR you can show up to any EXP party, throw the 'its a maat job' and get a pass.

Anywho, I wasn't picking on you directly moreso the people that use the maat/'this isnt a real dd lulz' card as an excuse for gearing poorly and wasting other peoples time in EXP parties.

[Midnightjade]

I'd grab a pair of battle gloves and a walkure mask for those slots, would only cost 15k for the pair plus the mask makes you look like batman (or catwoman if you're mithra).

Good luck on the cap, got a friend on her last two jobs for it and all that leveling looks exhausting.

[Feedmenow]

Needs a better DD pet than Carrie. Funguars are typically cheaper than Carrie broth per jug, last twice as long, and have double attack as well as decent WSes. They cap at 65, however, but you could use Clear Blood Broth For the 65-75 parties you might get.

Gimping it up on BST just because you aren't expected to be decent is just perpetuating that expectation. You should be able to do acceptable damage on colibri, especially since you can get away with eating practically any food since you'll only have hate for 1-2 seconds at most from snarl. Should be able to outperform the bog-standard pickup DD.

Oh yeah, this too. You can get Funguar from Kazham NPC. It's cheaper than Carrie and better at that level.

[Dooom]

Haha, yeah. For all we're working up into a rage over his choice of gear, his choice of jug pet is what's really letting the side down.

You're all calling Dazd gimp over two pieces of gear? On BST? Talk about trying too hard.

Making excuses for him isn't going to change a thing that he was calling someone else a gimp when he was gimping it up himself.

Anyone who even invites a BST to a party shouldn't be expecting much anyway.

Bullshit. BST has access to the same gear a WAR and DRK can use so that excuse isn't cutting it. On the rare times I did exp my BST in a party *Linkshell party mind you*, I used a Scythe over an Axe Shield combo mainly because I had capped Scythe merits at the time and used the same gear my friend on WAR was using and still pulled hate from time to time because I was hitting for solid damage.

Were my Weapon Skills comparable to his?
Hell no.

Was my overall damage good?
I had no complaints at the time I was doing it and hell I even surprised a few people that BST could actually do solid damage in a normal party but back on topic, not expecting anything from a BST who gets invited to a normal party is just stupid and moronic.

Yes a BST isn't going to compare to the heavier DDs over time but he was still gimping it up which is why everyone was busting his balls.

Considering I know Dazd on a personal level, I can attest to the fact that none of his jobs are gimp.

Still waiting for pictures of his DD gear on BST for the 3rd time now.

Fact of the matter is, people find it entertaining to attack those who post gimps more than the gimp itself. I find it fun as well, but two pieces if gear? It's a Maat job, who gives a shit.

See? This is where you're both being retarded. "It's a Maat job." doesn't change a thing from him still gimping it up. The fuck are AF head and hands going to do for him when he's DDing on Birds?

Right. Nothing.

Oh shit that's kinda gimp don't you think?

But he's leveling a Maat job so it's ok to be gimping it up as well.

You see how retarded you're looking saying this shit along with him?

No ones being forced to exp with him. If they are bothered so much by it, they can just leave.

I have left many times on my BST, DRG, RDM or whatever job I'm on when people get lazy about gearing up a job and then expect me to carry them for their merits or exp because they can't be bothered to stop exping and upgrade their shit. You're making excuses and nobody here is buying it.

P.S. lol @ BST being a Maat job only. You're really on the wrong forums if you think some people hadn't invested a ton of time and effort into their BSTs to make it a fun and enjoyable job.

And yes which I wasn't going to say anything but a few people beat me to it. A Fungar pet is way better and cheaper then CC for those levels but hey it's only a Maat job right?

This is lolTP Build for my BST.

and of course for WSing with Rampage.

I know I can add more to it and of course I welcome advice and input but at least I know I'm doing it right unlike your friend who's halfassing it. I just finished farming a few Sea Gorgets so ignore the Peacock Charm in the Rampage build.

I use Pallas Sheild over Tatami when soloing mainly because of the enhanced Reward and added defense the pet gets. The hat also is obvious.

[StevenW]

plus the mask makes you look like batman (or a fag if you're a male elvaan).

lol

[Tsuko_Asura]

Classic case of, "We like this guy, so his flaws don't count". Just because the end of the road holds something different for you, doesn't give you any more permission to half ass it than the guy next to you.

Dazd is being a hypocritical moron, accept it and move on.

I completely agree. I also agree with a lot that Viewpoint said, however you're blowing shit out of proportion over two pieces of "viewable" gear.

I agree, he should post the rest of his gear. Until then, its kinda stupid to over-react over the fact that he uses AF head and hands?(think hands were it).

Also, excuse my ignorance, but I've yet to see a good BST @ 55.

[Corrderio]

It can be pretty exhausting, beating my last Maat felt like the greatest thing ever.

Anyway, I don't usually nitpick, but every time I see a DD who's too lazy to even pick up a Walk Mask I just want to /facepalm. It's only 5K FFS. At least it wasn't full AF thankfully, that's all I can say.

[Snick]

If he had said "Oh fuck you guys are right, I shall take your comments into consideration!", nobody would've hounded him, he would become more efficient and everyone would be happy :D But I don't necessarily condemn him for that, nobody takes criticism well.
