Is it just me..?

I dunno what you're talking about. When I use my Emperan Bow in Altepa Dom Ops parties and 1 shot stuff people are actually applauding rather than getting upset. Having someone kill for you is a good thing sometimes <.<

All you need in abyssea burn parties now is 1 emp user, 1 BLM, 1 WHM, and 15 leeches.

Which is what you are getting anyway. More leechers than players.

For the record, killing stuff faster will get you all treasure chests faster. The whole 'avoid ruby until you cap azure' thing is along the same lines as the 'make your DDs sub NIN so the healer can keep sucking' thing. If somebody happens to be stupid and own an empyrean weapon man up and tell them to solo mobs. And you can't get azure why? What are your BLMs doing? A single BLM can -aga/-aja nuke worms down in a couple of nukes, and somehow this empyrean DD is killing all of them?

There is a good reason the alliance you were in looked useless. It wasn't that one guy.

Still being as contradictory as ever.

Also, you may want to think about what you just said:

Unless you send your BLMs off to run around the zone (which most already do, especially emph hunting in some zones), you'll still have overpowering ruby which we do know, especially if you're a vet to Abyssea, red chests can cap off quickly and if all you get are red chests and no TEs you end your party pretty quickly, especially if you're the type to use a keyer or actually help out new players levels who won't have 100+ minutes to blow.

Anyone with an emp worth their salt will kill everything quickly.

I'd also like to note while I was doing t people were trying to jump on MY mobs that I solo which lead to having a Ruby light. If you 1shot a mob without actually touching it. let me give a example.

I engage a Sand Sweeper and I unleash a WS and 1 shot it. I get no lights by doing so however if I engage it, melee it and take claim then WS get the ruby.

It took me ages to get my empyreans. But it took me even longer to go 1/23 on my fuggin destroyers.
Get off yo bum and get one. they're not hard. they're not rare. in fact, I see more empyrean players than non-empyrean players these days. you're just getting a bit of the "oh snap i'm really gimp" feeling because you proly are.

God I hate it when there are players better than me making me feel useless because I simply can't get an emp!

-_-

I hate it when people with multiple millions tell me it's easy to make millions and all I need is a good idea. God I hate those people.

IQ enema.

You don't need an empyrean to abyssea burn, Aeolian Edge, Cataclysm, or even Fell Cleave does a ton of damage either way.

That said, if you are killing easy prey mobs for chests and exp, a White Mage is overkill. Red Mage or Scholar sub Red Mage will not only "do" but probably be better since they can mitigate damage while helping buff in other ways. A Red Mage or a Paladin could probably even solo for an entire alliance of leaches. Come the next update Scholar will probably be the go to duo for chest burns too (or even contend against Red Mage for solo if they are very skilled).

Unless you have a good puller who can pull a bunch of DC mobs and hold them while the WAR gets enough TP to use Fell Cleave from 0%, I still stand by my statement.

I rather have an Ukon WAR oneshotting everything while a BLM oneshots everything and the WHM heals the WAR, one key whore and 14 afk people. Still pretty fast exp, and you can exp everywhere. Killing mobs that don't ruby is just a bonus.

[Runespider]

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.

Depends on the emp, on most it's easy to not ruby. If you have somone with a Ukon the decision is WS and 1 shot the majority of stuff you fight regardless of hp or don't ever WS.

Truth be told, the only reason they are there is to show off the emp and make most normal players look like crap lol XP is so easy that geared players don't need merits at all anymore, you can pretty much cap out just killing all the crap to get the emp.

I understand it can be annoying but there are very few parties you join that will have people like that unless they are skilling up and just show off for a bit at the start, or people that are really really reallllly bored and have nothing better to do.
