Is it just me..?

[Panthera]

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, 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.
