Who ever got six-person parties in the first place?

@#$%ing lol'd. Have you ever fought a colibri before? Nothing says NUKE ME! like the ability to reflect spells with high MDB. Sounds like excellent use of a party slot.

Dispel, do you have it?

You're kidding, right?

Stoneskin, manawall. pdt gear like your easily buyable earth staff and etc.Sandstorm+ dessert boots. all jobs chakram if you don't feel like using magic. Congratulations you're geared for pulling. Pulling isn't hard. Yes noone was pulling but you're clearly missing the point of my statement. I was simply pointing oiut that job has nothing to do with it. Your ideal of x job should be puller just makes people find X job tedious because they have to stop doing the fun part of their job and if the rest of the alliance is leeching on the DD then at the point where the nin thf dnc etc etc has to pull for them as well they might as well DB and solo the exp in order to keep the extra pops/gil items to npc from chests. If you're complaining that noone was pulling in your alliance then that includes YOU.
And really why are you complaining about that instead of all the brds that don't pull? They're the one job that has enough free time to not be inconvenienced when it comes to performing their duties when pulling. nightingale/troube + SV and/or maracto and they have enough time to pull several waves before finding an isl and starting all over again.

Dude, I don't know what you're on but you obviously missed the point of what I was saying ....not only did I specifically say I was on blm, I specifically stated I was sniping and pulling mobs. My point was no one else was...even though they were on jobs that were much more suited for pulling. You wouldn't find that slightly annoying?

Frank, I agree that everyone should be contributing with pulls if they can, my recent experience showed me that this wasn't the case. I can get decent xp on my own time without all the aggravation.

You started the game after Colibri were old news, but they don't cast Reflect on themselves. They natively return any spell cast on them insta-cast. If you sleep them, they'll cast sleep on you when they wake up. If you nuke them, they'll nuke you back a whole lot stronger (assuming you're exping on them and are thus lower level than them), etc.

Oh thanks. I started the game before colibri were old news (first time before US PS2 release - got to level 25 blm before I had to quit because my roomie, whose comp I was using, moved - second time just before WotG release) but I never got to them the second time around, since I basically soloed casually for 6 months and never got to 50... ah, the bad old days...

So thanks... never knew anything about the pink birds - heard blm were bad but I thought it was a tp move they did that put up reflect. Thanks for the info.

Nah, they will eat you if you nuke them. I did see a group of RMT BLMS doing a really crappy job of mass pulling and AGA'ing them once. They seemed to be able to do it somewhat. I sat and watched them wipe a few times.

And you're missing the point that the jobs aren't specifically suited for pulling more than any other job. Inside abyssea you've cruor buffs and unlimited mp on the whm making it near impossible to die, movement speed available for all/most jobs relatively easily, an atma that buffs movement speed if you don't have it from gear,all jobs throwing weapons, and so on. When lv 40+ jobs subbing blm for warp are capable of pulling your attempt to decree any job as the ideal puller to the point that they HAVE to be the puller more than anyone else including yourself really hits a wall in it's logic train.
