So i leeched my job to 90 in abyssea

[Tamoa]

And no, FFXIAH isn't perfect because it artificially lets Abyssea leeches go up in rank rather quickly. It also over-values relics and mythics. Outside of this, however, there is not much to go on, other than having a bunch of people try to have a p***ing contest in a forum, which is played out. Aside from that, I didn't get into gear comparisons except for that it irks some people that I got my Maat's cap back when it DID mean something. What can I say? Sour grapes?

Bottom line is that more 90's who leeched suck than 90's who earned heir levels. I don't see how this is not obvious, except when I consider my audience.

You realize that Maat's Cap owners used to be called "Jack of all trades, master of none", right?

That is an extraordinarily stupid comparison.

No, it was a cheap shot, which is why I removed it. Sorry if it hit a nerve.

By you and who else? Actually I have only heard that in reference to RDM. I guess the implication is that someone with Maat's cap is not good at any job, as opposed to someone who leeched to 90 in Abyssea and is as good as anyone else on the server? What in the world are your criteria for determining skill? Seriously, Maat's cap = gimp, Abyssea leech = god? This is so classic of the new wave of pseudo-elitism.

I rather meant that figuring out MMO mathematics through research and being good at the game cannot be compared to figuring out weightlifting plans and being muscular. The two do not compare.

Hey Neisan_Quetz, there's a lot more to being good at something than researching and asking questions. But then again, I am dealing with people who think all a 90 BRD needs to do to be good is double March.

Still waiting to hear what you think bards should be using that beats march/march...

[Tenshibaby]

"Being good" was not listed as a qualification, just research and asking questions. Those are not enough to be good. I can research and ask about flying a plane till I can write books on the subject, but it doesn't make me a good pilot.

lol The Hannity approach...
If you read between the lines you could have figured it out long ago.
Besides, I never said march/march didn't have its place, but that it is not the one-size-fits-all magic combination that makes all BRD's equally good.

[Neisan_Quetz]

There really isn't anything that in this game that is so hard you need more than that to learn how to play a job... even the formulas this game uses for damage calculation aren't much harder than intermediate algebra. Unless you fail at hand-eye coordination / reading logs but then why are you playing an online game in the first place if that is the case?

Where did I mention abyssea leeching in my previous post? Oh that's right, nowhere.

According to you though, everyone that obtained Maat's Cap before abyssea, smn burns and without a PL, is automatically good at FFXI.

Please, enlighten me.

Aside from situations where you would be giving ballad to a pld or blu, I fail to see any reason why I would ever cast anything other than march/march on melee jobs.

All ive seen in this entire thread is you calling people out, claiming that widely accepted formulas are wrong, while not posting anything to back your claims.

The best part of this entire thread is you calling someone a "haste whore" as if its an insult of some sort. Haste is the single most important stat for melee jobs, I feel sorry for people who think otherwise.
