Artifact Armor 4 idea

I remember someone posting somewhere they were happy to "finally get to wear something besides black belt" in the waist slot. I wanted to smash myself in the teeth with a ball peen hammer just to see if I could still feel pain after reading that idiocy.

I can't imagine anyone having a BB and not using it. Like, ever.

Though, for those of us that don't have 1290 KS it's nice having an alternative

Wait, using perfect counter is bad now?

For damage output yes, every JA usage is 2 seconds penalty, everyone knows this, hence why PUP and DNC suck at DD.

[Kimble]

So, no job should ever use any JA ever. Gottcha.

[MarkovChain]

You can but in this case you use something called "macro", because apparently you are not aware that zelus and AF3+2 hands don't exclude each other, learn2play.

I'm sorry i'll never be as good as a player as you Pchan. You are the best there ever will be. Please teach me more.

Guys, don't use perfect counter because 1-3 delay-free hits with +20 DMG on them (AF3+2 hat) hurts damage. (This argument will only hold under Marches+Samba)

[MarkovChain]

First it's +10 DMG (+1 weapon rank as proved by myself) not +20, secondly you don't use perfect counter when you DD so with march or no march makes absolutely NO sense.

If you're not tanking when you DD, you suck. Seriously, suck. The only way you shouldn't be taking hits is outside Abyssea where PLD NEEDS to keep hate to insure success, or when you are playing with a WAR using Retaliation and taking the hits w/ a good WHM to back him up.

About march: 1 round would take 4.1 seconds, so when using that 2 second Perfect Counter, you're actually getting more attacks out of your time than you would with auto attack, without march or haste.

With march, haste, and samba, though, you are doing 1 round per 1.16 seconds, and is the situation where Perfect Counter would actually lower your DPS.
