So i leeched my job to 90 in abyssea

[Dallas]

I don't know why people give this OP grief. Most jobs do 1-2 things in exp parties too. For SMN, that 1 thing is cast Cure 3. Every new 75-90 is going to be lost finding gear, skilling up, etc. My latest 90 job needs to figure out how to cap Parry... I totally get this thread.

It is funny though, since you can leech up to 90 and ask for information, and become just as skilled as someone who asks at level 20. Those who never ask, are the ones you need to avoid.

I agree. No shame in asking.

[Niklz]

do i need to cap wind and string or only one of them should suffice?

That's a pretty common question for a new brd to ask.
Starting the question off with "I just leeched my job to 90.." isn't a good way to ask it though.

[Rambus]

There is no harm is asking what you need to be good, or show a willingness to perform on the top of your game.

The ones that replay "do not tell me how to play my job" when it is a rdm meleeing with staff or saying your walahra turban gives you 5 seconds off provoke are the people to avoid.

This basically

I I Abyssea-burned RDM to 90 and I dare say I could give most "Career, earned-my-level" RDMs a lesson or twelve about the job.

I'm sure most "Career, earned-my-level RDMs" have something to learn from someone who earned 90 by key-whoring and hasting. No, really, I believe all of you people who took the express elevator to 90 who then proclaim how awesome you are. No, really.

Similarly, I learned how to play QB by reading a book. Tebow, Manning, Brees... they're all doing it wrong. Why am I qualified to make this assessment? Because I read the book. Don't hate - by my own best assessment I am better than most NFL QB's.

his comparison is valid though

No it's not. Playing in the NFL requires incredible amounts of skill. ffxi is about on par with pong.

There are plenty of things that can be done perfectly with exactly zero experience, if you take the time to research it. Ffxi is pretty close to being one of those things.

I cal BS on that until a proper test can be done, but for that we need one of each type of class of both PLed 90s and old 90s

Because the argument on both sides can only be backed up by referencing other things at this point.
