Is it just me..?

I don't want to seem like a b***h, but does anyone else HATE PTing with Empyrean users? They like 1-shot everything and make over half of the alliance look useless.

Then there are the ones who can't hold back, so while you're trying to build Azures, they are rubying EVERYTHING and they usually have some witty thing to say, for example; I was in a Sand Sweeper PT with a Verethragna PUP that rubied everything and told the BLMs to go Azure ephemerals. Upon asking where they are, he told the BLMs "I dunno, you're the BLM, you're supposed to know!"

So..is it just me?

1st post!

^^Fast xp^^
Well, you could max out all lights and let the Pros just kill the mobs get fast fast xp! and never time out it might solve your problem idk i am just saying it could be something you could consider instead of going /emo

[Kojo]

I'm not so much going emo, but shouldn't they solo stuff instead of running up on a mob surrounded by 4-5 other people and killing it? I understand the fast XP, you're right, but rather than trying to arrogantly dominate everyone else's dmg, why no solo stuff to add to the XP gain?

Boredom can come along way too a ffxi player sometimes they like too test out there new toy

But in a Worm PT? Worm pts are used for skilling, levelling 70+, and breaking trials (As I was doing). I ended up leaving because there literally was no reason for me to be there. I can SC solo in the tree. I'm just not sure why an Empyrean user would go into a worm pty..

[Zatias]

It depends on the person holding the empy. Some are really nice and know how to not ruby every mob, others are "shitkids" who were handed an empy and think they are the best player in the universe, and so they just ws everything even if it's at 1%.

No it's not you, just like Relic and Mythic users, they've had an IQ enema once they obtained the weapon.

Worm pt are nice cause getting pages suck. I agree though its stupid if empy is not soloing.

[Kojo]

I just gained 2 new terms LOL. Yeah, some won't hold back, or use their weapon to benefit the pt, but rather flaunt massive damage that would take 80-100% of the mobs health, had they been soloing to actually help.. Sorry for the rant-ish thread, just happened to me too many times. Though we DID have a Gandiva RNG in the same PT earlier, usually, he seemed to solo worms and end mobs that were beating 1-2 prople down.

So, what you're saying is that Empyrean weapons create two problems. The first is that no one can even come close to the power of an Empyrean user. The second is that they want to use what they've worked for, so they too many ruby lights.

For the first issue, all I can say is that given their strength, there is a need for multiple pullers so that everyone is engaging a mob at all times. The Empyrean user can only attack one mob at a time, so it seems you need more pullers.

As for the second issue, it's not an Empyrean Weapon problem. It's not a players-with-Empyreans problem. It's an Abyssea problem. Mages can't always go for kill shots, which means they're on add control. It's very difficult for a strong mage to do damage without pulling hate. Even a low tier spell can pull hate. Mobs die so quickly that enfeebling them almost isn't worth it. Melees have to turn their back to the mobs, disengage, or target another enemy so mages can go for kills.

Is holding back ever fun for anyone, let alone Empyrean users? No! In the TP burn days, it didn't matter how you killed as long as the mob fell over dead as fast as possible. Melee hit kills, weapon-skill kills shots, a White Mage killing with Banish just for lols, it didn't matter! Now you can't drop the mob with Sidewinder or whatever anymore without 17 people yelling at you.

So..is it just me?

Yes, it's just you. People are so happy about drowning in exp that they don't care.
