Situational Gear

[Nala]

any one mention the cure/waltz potency received gear yet? cause like the charm neck its pointlessly situational.

"just one sec hitting my getting cured macro, whoops that's my PDT macro, one more sec ah crap hit my MDT macro instead..."

just making light of it but seriously...

I've never even seen a pld use it in their self cure macros.

When we get stuff like this, you know they've gone way too far:

What is so bad about it? Holy Water has a chance to remove Doom, and this ring would increase the chance, I reckon. Can't hurt to macro it in on a HW macro against Doom spamming NMs like Chloris or Bukhis.

Maybe I should have been clearer.

It's not Realistically situational.

Mayhem Lantern, Fanatic Dance, Danse Macabre, and a bunch of other stuff all inflict aoe Charm. So yes, it does have a situational use. It's not a particularly good item though, even for it's intended use. It's missing Charm:Earth-50 Wind-50 at the very least.

I'll agree that it's crap. It's not even worth the inventory slot it's occupying. But if you ARE fighting a charming NM in a duo, and all you got is SMN/RDM to sleep your partner, AND it's darksday, AND you have a Xsaeta II, AND you have an avatar out to tank the NM, then Lavalier +1 will be worth the 5k you spent on it on the AH. You might -maybe- actually sleep your charmed partner!

the only people that could take advantage of such situational type gear are those using windower based plug-ins, in the case of cure potency received or charmga you'd need 2 of such plugins at once even then i'm not sure if the second can respond to outside actions.

the window of opportunity to put that type of gear on is very small to be able effectively put it on in time, making it so incredibly situational that they might as well not exists, and yeah cure potency received gear only jobs i can see befitting it are jobs like pld and dnc and only when casting on themselves, though given how gear based both jobs are you'd be lucky to have enough additional room for potency received gear.

That is the other reason people are complaining about these heaps of steaming dog #$%@.

-mob readies charm move
-player equip neck
- player get charmed

The window to gearswap on some charmed mobs is incredibly short meaning unless you have 3rd party tools you aren't going to be swapping that choker on nearly as many times as you'd think.

You're better off simply being dealt with by the people who arent charmed (sleep, break, grav, bind) or not using movement+ gear in those battles so people can run away from you until the charm drops.

It's a dumb item all around.

Holy Water Macro? I just spam them from the menu. It would have made much more sense for them to create a synth for Holy Water+1 or gear that enhances a caster's Cursna. If I was that worried about Doom I'd bring a Doom Screen and an extra stack of Holy Waters.

I figure they expect you to full time it whenever you know you're about to fight something that charms.

Yes I realize how retarded that sounds.
