A Ninja without Throwing...

[Akujima]

Actually eventually you can hit perfect in this game because it is finite, unlike rl where everybody is imperfect, in this game once you obtain all the gear and skills that could possibly pertain to a job then you are perfect. Granted the game is designed to make that take a very long time but it's still possible.

So no, in this game, when dealing with a single job there won't always be somebody better than you. The same level as you sure, but not better.

Yea, exactly. Because you're both just standing in 1 spot, mashing a couple of the same macro's, in the same gear, and you both look exactly the SAME... did I say same?

Part of the definition is knowing what not to do because it isn't efficient, and throwing isn't efficient. Therefore if you're using throwing you are not being "the best". End of story.

Example: Two Ninja's, exact same gear, exact same merits, etc, etc. Fighting a magic resistant boss... The boss starts flying... One Ninja, switches to his ranged attack gear, and to shuriken, doing damage to the boss while its in flight... The other Ninja stands around waiting for the boss to land, because he just wants to melee it.

Which Ninja is doing more damage?

Your arguments about morals and all that other bullshit do not apply to a game that deals with absolute numbers.

Since when did I pay $12.95 a month to play a freaking MUD?

If you are doing less damage than you could be doing, then you are being inefficient and wasting everybody's time during an event. There's no room for morals in that formula.

Again, calling you out on the fact that you complained about casuals yet you are the textbook definition of one. Saying this in a nicer way so as to not get my post edited. Please kindly leave; while there is room in this game for casuals, there isn't room for you spewing your white-knight bullshit on useless outdated ability that nobody cares about anymore, except for you. It can't possibly be fixed because of in-game limitations and balance issues, therefore, leave it alone.

Um... Would you like me to post screens of my playtime? I bet it's even more than you. Of course this is pre-abyssea playtime. Since then, I haven't been playing because it's boring and easy, with atma's that give you stat boosts through the roof.

The biggest mistake Square-Enix ever made, was firing the guy who was the lead developer of Chains of Promathia. Done and Done.
