Legion still sucks.

I don't think you actually read it. This was two months ago:

^ Still applies to Mul where people either rely on their Scholars not resisting or Wild Card. ^

This was Today:


It's not that the event isn't beatable. It's that there's no substantial variance in the strategy. There are 2.5 different ways to beat every monster in Legion:
1) Buff up the melee, perfect defense, and let them kill it
2) If it's stunnable and not *that* dangerous, buff up the melee and let them kill it while you stun lock it.
2.5) For rare mobs, buff up the melee and let them kill it while you keep them alive.

That's not a strategy; it's an exploitation of game mechanics. All of your damage comes from buffed melees hitting things. All of your defense comes from either Perfect Defense or Stun.
* Is it easy? No. It's a logistical nightmare that requires well-geared players who aren't pants-on-head retarded and must be orchestrated well in order to get the most out of each run.
* Is it super strategic? No. You use fundamentally the same strategy for every NM. The turtles in An are the most variance you get. Maybe it's more strategic than Voidwatch, where you can use literally the same alliance for every single fight, but it's no Salvage. It's not the difference between killing Vrtra and killing Tiamat. It just doesn't take that much strategy. Pick the best way to avoid damage from the monster you're fighting, use it, and kill it.

Nope, not strategy at all. Legion can be whatever you want it to be. Trophy runs are easy and do not require PD if you really don't want to use it. Clears certainly do. Why is that a bad thing? Not necessarily posting this question to you, but others. Should we be able to cruise through everything without needing the aide of abilities like that? That indeed is strategy, and it is unfortunate that people do not realize this. Full clears of chambers require strategy. To say that there is little strategy would be an understatement. The fact that it requires specialized job selection is also not strategy either. How is that an exploitation of game mechanics? Those are the game mechanics! I think some people need to seriously re-examine their scope of exploitation vs. game mechanics. I understand that people have their perspectives on things, but there is a large number of folks on these forums that blow things waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of proportion. This is unfortunate. With that said, enjoy the game guys and gals, because it is only a game. Think about that a bit more.
