You better have the gear to back up that arrogant attitude.

I don't see how there is anything wrong with my post, I specifically said "in my opinion" which you neglected to bold out. Am I not entitled to having my opinion? Am I forcing my will on ALL brds? Is not relic one of the measures of the extent of a job?(IE Gajallarhorn being one if not the best instrument, Mythic/emps may be other measures)

And if you think that I got my Gjallarhorn though some ponzi scheme and used ls members, I don't think you read my dynamis link. I still do dynamis with members to help them with their relics 2 years after I've completed mine, dynamis(even the changes, weps, armor) hold absolutely nothing that I would like to get, yet I am there giving up my time to help others and leading the runs.

I think I am more than qualified to speak upon Gjallarhorn issues since I do own one as well as bard issues since I've been Main bard for 7+ years, it's rare that I'm NOT bard. The only times I'm not are 1) sub relvling for new caps, 2)THing on THF, 3)WHM when no other WHM is available.

With the current dynamis changes is relic not accessible to anyone that has 50K for a one time
fee key item? Yes it will take time, but anything good in FFXI takes time.

All I have done is stated scenarios and my opinion, if that is wrong then virtually every post in
the forums should be deleted.

Who honestly has the right to say: "Any true bard should now be working on Gjallarhorn"

or: "if you don't, means you like another job more than bard."

Do you realise how insulting that is to every BRD who doesn't have the time to put into a relic? Those with relics have always been arrogant, and it really offends me when those specific relic users disrespect the weapon/item they've worked on with subpar gear, whilst acting like they are a true <insert job here>

I assume this is targeted at me and you looked me up on ffxiah.

The reason why I still use a NQ earth staff is because I'm a 97 woodworker. I REFUSE to go the easy route of buying a Terra staff. I vowed once I started woodworking that I would sign my own.

The 2nd reason is priority. Gil wise I scrimped and saved ever bit of gil to make sure I obtained
Gjallarhorn, as when I started funding glasses were still 1 mil gil each. So if your saying
Terra Staff > Gjallarhorn in priority then so be it that is your view. To me Gjallarhorn was more
important than a Terra staff, and it's not like I have ANY trouble landing elegy with max skill on mobs that are not immune to elegy.

I personally turned down a sha'ir manteel when it was still 10 mil + because I decided that I wanted to get a cashmere cloth and try my luck at a HQ. I hold true to my ethics that I set for myself in game and refuse to go the easy route.

If you don't have time for dynamis you make the time. I've always said if something is important to you, you make the time. If you can't make 2hrs to play dynamis, how can you make other events? Virtually every event in FFXI takes at least 2hrs or more to accomplish anything meaningful.

Again you leave out the part where I say "in my opinion". It's like only YOUR opinion matters, what about mine?

I should have clarified that this was to get to base 75 Gjallarhorn. But in reality with the dynamis changes of 24hr entry it's not hard to complete all the trails to 90 Gjallarhorn in ust a few more days. As you can pop multiple Jeuno, Windy and Bard Attest nm in one run. If progression holds the next trials would be kill the animated horns X amount of times.

You use an NQ earth staff and you have a Ghorn. You are essentially everything bad about relic holders.

Stop with the arrogance, and sort your shit out before you start pointing fingers.

You don't deserve that Ghorn, when you don't even have the basic BRD gear necessary.

You play your way, I play mine. I really don't understand why MY gear should bother you so. If i could blist you here I would but there is no such function. You are like some of the people on asura that are close minded and like to meddle in other people's gear choices.

In all my posts I only stated MY opinion, I didn't tell you that you MUST have Gjallarhorn or any other gear. My opinion is my own and it is my right to state it.

And in my opinion you aren't a true BRD because you've shown you lack the knowledge to gear it correctly.

Answer me this then, why would I need Terra staff vs NQ staff when I have no trouble whatsoever landing elegy. What other benefit would Terra staff have for a Gjallarhorn bard that has no trouble landing elegy.

The only benefit elemental staves are for earth based spells which I have no trouble landing with the combined wind/singing skill that Gjallarhorn boosts.

And Yes your opinion is your own which that is that. You think I'm not a true bard, and the same goes for me. I don't think of you as a very good bard either from your lack of knowledge on how wind/singing skill is factored BEFORE elemental staves.

>Implying I don't understand and wasn't mocking you for the fact that you refused to get a Sha'ir manteel when you knew how superior it was because you have some retarded ethical code based on crafting.

You do realise a Sha'ir manteel currently is more effective than a Ghorn right? Do you even have relevant atma or fast cast gear?

You still haven't answered my question of why would I need Terra staff vs NQ staff when I have no trouble whatsoever landing elegy. What other benefit would Terra staff have for a Gjallarhorn bard that has no trouble landing elegy.

Answer my question first if you would like an answer to yours.

The thing is you never had a Terra's staff, before or after the Ghorn. That shows how little you care about the job.

And you still wouldn't have one even if at 95 cap you needed one. Your entire arrogant post falls on its face when you don't care enough about the job to get optimal gear in all slots. (Especially when it's easily accessible)
