These situations do not occur. Your point has no relevancy. If you want to do something different, it's best to play a different job, rather then complain you want SE to change an existing job from the way it's worked since being introduced.Quote:

04-14-2011, 08:18 PMBulroggAre you fighting the same mob over and over? I have gone up against many mobs that are best kept distance from; and while keeping at a safe distance I toss a few :Ni/:San and yes; even shuriken.Quote:

Is not fighting those mobs an excuse to have a closed mine and not see situations where a made adjustment can be useful?
I am more on the fence about throwing than ever before... but I would like to see (from both sides of the community) is the posters here stop imposing their playing style on everyone else. We have to get over the fact that not every person/party/alliance/linkshell fight/kite/kill the same mobs the same way.
All of this bickering and telling people to go do such-n-such or play another job is just a lot of negativity and going to get threads closed. That is why I keep asking people to bite their cheek in their replies. Make your point and hit reply before saying something that gets the thread closed or you banned.
What ever happened to "if can't say something nice...?" (I always preferred "speak like your grandmother is listening" cause my granny didn't put up with anything lol) -
04-15-2011, 01:57 AMwish12ozWhy don't you tell me what you're fighting by kiting it, using weak nukes and throwing bad shurikens at it, so I can tell you "you're doing it wrong, straight tank it and kill it faster." There is nothing in the game currently that you need to fight like this, except Cuelebre, because it flys and you cant actually melee it. Not only do you not need to fight anything like this, but it is highly inefficient to fight things like this, since straight tanking makes things die faster, and for anything worth anything right now, time matters. The "I can't stand next to the mob" excuse is not valid at all.Quote:

04-15-2011, 02:35 AMAkujimaYou have obviously missed the entire point, and just went straight back to your personal perception being the all in all. This just proves that it's clearly a waste of time trying to have a healthy debate here.Quote:

And "In" before "I hope I'm not in line" etc.... because if you're in line for a mob behind us, you'll just have to wait because we all don't do things the same way.Quote:

Ya, we don't all do things the same way, some people like to waste everyone else's time. Saying it's your monthly fee is also irrelevant, because everyone waiting on you to finish, is also paying monthly fee's! You are also right, there is lots of ways to do things, but, there is only one quick and efficient way to kill things, because one way will always be the fastest, and that is the correct way to do things.

Throwing is situaional at best. It could be updated to make it more than that. I am for this update.
Do things your way and just hope you don't get stuck waiting for a ??? behind me. I play the game for enjoyment with the style I choose. So sorry it offends you and your mantra of 'only one way things should be done'. -

04-15-2011, 05:14 PMwish12ozIt cannot be updated to anything beyond a low level damage tool until they make haste affect ranged attacks, which they basically refuse to do, so it will never be good or useful. The only other way they could fix it is to add throwing weapons with 200+ damage, 100delay and 50 snapshot. That option is also pretty much never going to happen, ever, get over it.

Accomplishing more is better then accomplishing less isn't it? or did I somehow end up in bizarro world....
