Random Fail VIII: Your Not Fail, You're Are.

[FailureMidgard]

You missed where i said "sometimes". I never said you always need more acc. I said regardless of how much acc you have, sometimes you need a few more.

You don't seem to understand what my point is. I know turban is better in the vast majority of cases. I know that acc will/should be capped in almost all cases. My point is simply that if acc is uncapped, but very close to cap (ie not worth giving up 60+ atk by changing food) and, if and only if you're haste is also low (less than about 40%, depending on hit rate) then askar CAN BE better than turban.

And I'm saying can you fucking name a time this is true? What are you gonna do, every mob wave in Ein start a new parse, and maybe 2 years down the line you'll have enough data per mob family to know if you're 3 accuracy away? And past that, if you're at a normal camp where you aren't accuracy capped, chances are you're still capped vs lower lvl (and non-thf) mobs, while uncapped vs others. Suddenly your 1.5% hit rate averages out to .75% hitrate, and Askar isn't even winning there.

While I fully realize you can post #s to make Askar better, I'm saying there isn't a realistic situation in the game where you can reasonably assess the situation you are trying to put forth. This is before even putting the "you need to have no haste buffs" limitation onto it. Realistically, you shouldn't be using it.

I'd say gnadbhod's is the least accessible piece due to nobody doing SCNM after AMKD came out
edit: nvm, I'm dumb, Perle head works too

I forgot about Perle too, lol. Anyway, to each his own on Gnadbods...we're more than willing to kill it if a member gets a popset tho, which isn't exactly hard. But ya, I even left MKD off 'cause it costs $10. Point is, Askar is a pretty piss-poor option there too.

Who cares about 2H melee gear DRG can't wear? Retards. That's who.

Who cares about 2H melee?

You know what, I'm MNK, I'll jump that bandwagon.

Like a boss.

If you need the accuracy (doubt it), why not just use Ace's? O.o;

I specifically added 2H in there to avoid BLU.

Uh, i never mentioned sam. I was specifically talking about war.

Oh fuck, i did. I didn't mean to

[Shadida]

god are people still trying to justify askar head just because they don't like the way turban looks?

jesus... /endlesspiral

I've actually met people in-game who served in the military and refuse to wear turban because they don't want their characters to look like towelheads.

I'm Arab, and think that's hilarious. Be a gimp for AMERICA!

if ffxi wasn't 90% looks, we would all be elvaans

aka ugly motherfuckers

We have a retarded linkshell on our server. One of those that forms, fails at everything, has some kind of drama and breaks, then reforms into subsequent LSes made up of both factions from the aforementioned drama. Basically it's mitosis of the stupid. Anyway, one of these shells posted something here about recruitment.

Fast forward to today. During a linkshell event, Rienea started laughing to us on vent about someone from the retarded LS sending her some predictably retarded tells. I decided to take over and hilarity ensued.

Those spots I scribbled out? Where she actually gave me her fucking email address so we could be facebook friends.

Oh, and we're not sure why, but she went out of her way to invent this "facebook harassment" accusation. I really hope she doesn't call the local authorities on me! I WONDER WHAT MICHAEL AT PLAYONLINE WILL THINK

These forums are so fucking uncalled for, Rienea. How could you do this?

[Belkin]

What post triggered the response from her? Is it in this thread??

WoW! is all i must say! and i dont mean World of Warcraft either. Lolz.

You pissed this person off but on a more serious note. You do realize if this person contacts corporate it could be taken seriously. My character got banned a while back for posting on here or possible using speed hack i dunno which lol but they said i violated SE agreement by posting convos. lol kinda sucked now im left with my crappy mule.

Your violating Final Fantasy XI User agreement by posting screen shots of conversations without SE/PoL consent.


....In addition, SEI does not consent to or authorize any recording or reproduction of any communications. You may not record, reproduce or publish any communication within SEI products. In addition to any other rights or remedies that SEI may have, you may also be subject to criminal and civil sanctions and fines...

so theoretically if she contacts corporate directly he/she/IT could have a case.

[Dooom]

Wait. So anyone who posts a screenshot of chat can be banned? I know it's 2am and my brain is like that of a fucking retard atm, but is that seriously what you're saying?

[Ivve]

Hi Anyanka. I still don't give a shit! By the way, it's a fucking "bystander" you epic tard. That's how we know it's you.

[Sanjurio]

I thought they couldn't use Screenshots for shit since there's "advanced photo editing software that could be used to create false evidence" blah blah?
