Ok, I'll try to say this again, as slowly as I humanly can.. please try to follow, because I've said it ten times already and getting sick and tired of it.
I look at my status bar, I see no paralyze. So I feel somewhat safe and use a curry bun. Suddenly I see the mob using Hex Eye. I try to move but it's too late, I'm paralyzed and the item is gone. How was I able to prevent that? And you'd think that was a rare occurrence, but it's not, I've had this happen way too many times not to be annoyance. Fact is, sometimes it just can't be avoided, and it does happen.
So what's your advice? Never use items ever when fighting mobs who have a para move (and there's quite a few out there)? Because if I do I messed up and I was stupid to use it? How could I have possibly avoided that, even with a WHM army, 50 Remedies and my eyes staring at the status bar non-stop?
And no, I don't always have a WHM with me, cause I often solo stuff for quests, abyssites, skillups, trigger farming, etc. You call that doing it wrong? I'd say if you need a WHM for that, then you're doing something very wrong.
I've said this both in this thread and several times in the other. If you don't get it now, don't even bother responding, people who have a clue will know what I'm talking about anyway.

If it's a mob w/ a para tp move, maybe use an item when it doesn't have TP? -

Its your own fault if you used a brew while paralyzed so quit your complaining.
It can be avoided 100% of the time if you are actually paying attention. So quit being bad at FFXI, then posting on forums to complain about your own mistakes. -

Anyone soloing anything that involves paralyze knows to have a couple of stacks of remedies on them. At least this used to be the case.

Honestly with the amount of crour you can obtain in abyssea in 2 hours why even complain about 200k, i have lost many food, toolbags, temp items and abilities due to paralyze but it's all part of the game dynamics just gotta deal with it. It's not like you can't get another.

I agree with both points. But lean a little more towards the OP. It would be nice if items didn't get "ate" during paralyze. But on the same note it is part of the game. If SE decides to "change" (not fix - b/c it isn't an issue, its intentional) this I'm sure no one would complain.
And something to note: This is a suggestion from another player. Its a nice suggestion. No need to bash a player for his/her suggestions. If you don't agree with the suggestion thats cool. Say you don't like the idea, just don't go on bashing someone b/c they are not as good as you are. Just b/c you have more skill than another player is no reason to bash them. It actually just gives you more reason to pass on ADVICE, and up to that player to take that advice and use it or not. So please don't bash them over a suggestion.
Also, honestly. How many of you people bashing the OP would complain if SE changed the way paralyze effected items? So lets just get back on topic. Agree if you like the idea, disagree if you don't and just let SE decide whether or not to change it. -

03-14-2011, 09:19 AMHeadyShort answer, absolutely nothing. As stated many times this is how para works and always has. Really what do you want a "save" system so you can "reload" when ya mess up? Instant free "always on" RR3 and full health, Mp , and Tp on reraise? I myself don't think its a terrible penalty in a way helps balance game changing items. You took a gamble and lost deal with it.Quote:
