Random Question Thread IX: Mathology 101

Ninja lotting also makes you look like a giant, untrustworthy douche. If you're willing to ninja something as relatively easy to get as Haidate, why should I trust you when it comes to e-bodies, d-rings, and so on? As mentioned, your reputation already isn't that hot, ninja lotting will just sink pretty much any chances you have of joining a decent LS you may ever have. It's not "this guy ninja'd Haidate" - it's "this guy is an untrustworthy piece of shit". The item doesn't matter, the action does.

I've been here 4~ weeks and attended every event I could

Sorry, but lol. 4 weeks is fuck all in a LS. And also, as Draylo says, if you were in my LS and I got even a hint you were seriously thinking of ninjaing an item, I'd kick your ass out.

But people are supposed to take a main sam seriously without byakko's haidate?

I'd certainly take a guy without a particular item who's honest and decent more serious than a ninja lotter who has a piece of gear everyone on the planet already has anyhow.

[Nightfyre]

Sell Haub +1, make ~2M, buy Haidate from a mercenary LS. Done!

As for your idea, it's bad and you should feel bad. The topic should have ended after the first (okay, maybe second) response because ninja lotting Haidate is fucking stupid.

[Priran]

Ninja lotting is easier no?

and this is the mindset that lead the playerbase from "lol mrargus what a bunch of shitheads" to calling people who don't use similar bullshit "dudley dorights".

Ok well I was 95% sure I didn't want to ninja lot anyway, just curious though..

Anyways 2 d legs just dropped from Byakko #3 and I got one, I'm too happy to care for any mischevious bullshit right now

Not everyone is like that.

Geeze. I am so glad I don't have to put up with shit like this, really enjoy the group of friends I play with in my linkshell. Only happy once you get items, next time you don't get anything, ninja looting is a viable option right.

[TheTaru]

I don't subscribe to the "join ls get gear and leave" I personally despise people like that.

I'm just an asshole.

But really, I'd never ninjalot something(especially haidate).

[coldbrand]

If you want the cool refreshing feel of being a rebellious ninja lotter join a campaign really late into it and then win the majority of the loot, then feel kind of bad, but they never say anything, so it's cool.

Well no, just bothered that in 6 months through multiple LS's I haven't even had a SHOT at getting Byakko's haidate.. I even offered the leader my haubergeon+1 lol

For the record #4 did put out, and I passed it in an instant. Regardless of how much I want to do something like that, I just couldn't do it. I have a very guilty conscience.

[Sukian]

LS's will kill it for you on Bismarck. Bring your pop set when a ls does their byakko's and they'll take it out and you pick 1 item. I know because I'm a co-leader of one on bismarck and that is how we handle merc. pops

Send a tell to the same guy that helped on 6-4 for more info.

(P.S. no excuse now.)

[isladar]

in 6 months through multiple LS's

There's a problem there, dear.

[lolwut]

I think we may have found your problem. What makes you feel entitled to getting highly desired item over anyone else in the shell? The six grueling weeks of showing up and getting other drops?

You're worried about people not taking you seriously for the wrong reason, you should be concerned more about being such an obviously disloyal lootwhore.

Has Sharpshot's +acc amount been deteremined yet?

How do you hide windower plugins when you take a screen-shot?

[Kirschy]

1 good rdm/nin + as many smn as you want or 1 average rdm/nin + 1 brd + as many smn as you want

treat it like rapido and never give it tp

(also dagger never drops and is beaten by magian, don't bother if it's for that)

BRD friend is looking for some evolith thing from it. We managed to win with 6 /w me doing PLD. Wasn't bad, but TP Spam/Aura was kinda annoying. If RDM/NIN can keep it from doing that, sounds like an easy fight. Thanks!~

Any reason to get a Perdu Sickle for my DRK? I heard the magini trial scythe is a lot better, should I work on that instead?

[Terravcota]

I just got a Rugged Mantle with "Cure spellcasting time -2%" - is it worthwhile at all for WHM and non-WHM mages? I can't remember what came of all the cure cast reduction testing - is there a cap or is there no cap but the animation still takes its full time? If the former, what % is the cap?

No half decent ls(sky or otherwise) will refuse to kill byakko on your trigs and give you the haidate. If they're already there, with the new shortened ??? repop, shit takes fucking 20 minutes tops.
