triggering weakness

[Runespider]

In old endgame in FFXI it took years to get your gear..killing over and over and over again, now they make it easier and you complain? It took me 2 years camping HNM to get the then best endgame gear, enjoy just having to bring a specific job to proc a !! and get your stuff in a fraction of the time.

...enjoy just having to bring a specific job to proc a !! and get your stuff in a fraction of the time.

So level up a specific job that is "useful" and farm some decent gear for the "useful" job, in order to farm gear for another job that is considered "useless" but is the job I actually want to play.

Question
What will I do with that "useless" job that is all decked out in nice gear?

Solo with it.

Solo with it.

"Decked Out" RNG Solo'ing: "Alright let's do this..." /shoot... "Aww but dang, the 'sweet-spot' for ranged attacks is from further away ok, I gatta back up... Aww but sheesh, the mob keeps following me. Dang, dang, ok... Hmm. I'll just melee with mah Axe's... But wtf? Velocity Shot?... Aww man..."

..."Would be nice if I had someone to keep the mob on them, so I could play my job right."


*hint, hint* PLD is a Tank?...Wha? *hint, hint*

One time, as an accomplished rdm soloist, i wanted to solo an nm. I thought to myself "is rdm really the best job to solo this on?" And i quickly came to the decision that lolno, it is not. So instead i used my 72 rng, and ended up killing it in half the time it would have taken on rdm.









Goddamnit olla pots.


Also, gotta ask, wtf does having to deal wiht the sweet spot have to do with rng's ability to solo? Either you shoot from point blank range, or from further past the sweet spot. In either case you do less damage. But last i checked, damage output has little, to nothing to do with one's ability to solo.

Nothing. Nothing at all. But you've successfully managed to bypass the original point I was trying to make. Congratz.

And now, I bid you Adieu~

SE made ffxi easy and people complaining over triggering are two different thing.

SE made A zones so easy that's comparing to old FFXI which you have long a$$ wait pop time for NM and thousands of competitor; by doing that, SE get more n00b to join; SE is happy.

People complaining that, for example, you spent hours for all KIs of an NM, pop'ed it with a few jobs that's already overpower, as soon as you find out the trigger ws/spell you realize you just don't have that in your group. There your pop goes to trash.
