[Dev1235] Job Adjustments

A WAR with a shield is as effective as a WAR equipping nothing at all in the offhand slot. Are people seriously encouraging this kind of play?

I'm not encouraging anything except for people not to get annoyed at once another over what I would consider silly reasons.

If a warrior wants to use a shield, then that's his/her choice. No reason to get annoyed at a person over it.

It's also other's choice to feel annoyed though, if Malithar wants to feel annoyed at someone else, it's his freedom and choice.

I never said he wasn't free or didn't have the choice to be annoyed by it. But I am also free with the choice to think it's silly to let such a small thing annoy you.

Of course you're free to think that way, but you can also choose not to say it.

That's true. But that would kind of defeat my whole purpose of being in this forum if I chose not to give my opinions about things.

Part of my purpose on this forum is to attempt to broaden the perspective of people so players won't look down on or be annoyed by other players just because they play different jobs or in different ways. There needs to be a lot more live and let live in the MMORPGs generally, because it's approaching a very destructive tipping point that is quite frankly ruining the whole genre and reducing the gameplay to a boring comparison of numbers - rather the unique blend of many different and interesting individual play-styles as it should be.

You didn't broaden ppl's perspective, as I said in previous posts....I'm not against different playstyle, but the only way to make different playstyle work is to design the game that way.

I adapt different playstyle all the time, I've used like 11 different SJ on COR in my life, /WAR /WHM /BLM /RDM /RNG /SAM /NIN /DRG /BLU /SCH /DNC, I can probably name a few situational use for /SMN as well. I still use /WHM /DNC /DRG and /NIN pretty actively, others not so much. Every SJ is a completely different playstyle that's effective for certain situation, not all of them are about "the best dmg!" So it's certainly a biased opinion if you think I just want da best dmg with a narrow minded POV toward playstyle.

In all those shield WAR argument, you've never actually tell us WHY a WAR should use a shield, except "SE said so in 2003!" or "it's just a playstyle!"

Should I play BLU/MNK not equipping any weapon and tell everyone "I want to play BLU fighting bare fists like Kung Fu panda because that's my playstyle!"

That's more like role playing, not playstyle.
