Abyssea XP: Worms?!?

[Zagen]

Nice editing your posts to not make yourself look dumb.

Learn to read... I explained what happened but kudos on being an ass you seem quite good at it ^^

Yes I should have said from melee damage, but you'd think how I mentioned specifically "mages" needing a "-PDT set" and not all jobs there would have been a moment where people think "hmm bad wording but I see he means magic aggro since he only mentioned mages needing the -PDT set and Meltdown is magical".

So you want people to assume you mean dolls are physically attacking your mages because they got magic aggro, when you didn't say either of those things, rather then reading your post for what it says and assuming you're just dumb and think meltdown is physical damage?

You quoted something about meltdown, and only meltdown, then said "Mages without PDT gear are dumb" and nothing else. How in the world is anyone going to assume that means "Mages magic aggro stuff and get attacked and need PDT sets." ?

Originally I wasn't attacking you or thinking you were dumb, just that you poorly worded your idea. But with the amount of rage and butthurt you just exhibited, I have changed my mind.

Because it happens way more often than leeches/key people getting blown up? Maybe not when you do dolls but generally that's how it goes down when I join doll groups.

What amount of rage that took 30 seconds to write.

My mistake for assuming on a forum where many people posting English isn't their first language people would read a post and think about it before going off with the "you must be dumb" attitude. Anyways you two have a good day, feel free to have the last word.

Edit: I'm not sure how to reword the last thought of mine to make it clearer but hopefully you get the point :/

People do worms because typical exp gimps can't "time Azure Killshots" for jack shit and they're the only mobs around that total crap gimp Black Mages can solo without having their collective asses beaten in.

Fin.

[Mirage]

Why bother with that if you can get good exp anyway?

[Alhanelem]

Edited for clarity because it seems taking a post for face value and then assuming its wrong and then be an ass about it is the way to go instead of analyzing it.

This happens way too much around here.

Pretty much this. Why does no one do the worms in Ulegurand though? They don't move either.

[Khiinroye]

People don't do Uleguerand worms because they don't like the run back to the book for their dominion ops, which people think are necessary to level in Heroes zones (yes, we know they aren't). Also, those worms are ~10 levels higher than the ones in La Theine, so are slightly harder to kill.

The worms in Attohwa don't give azure light, so they aren't a good target.

OK, well that would be the biggest reason then. *feels stupid* Of course, you could still just nuke down some ephemerals.

Dude those, like, move. And cast spells. And, like, have TP moves. And attack people.

You can't, like, expect exp BLMs to be able to kill those, man.

[Economizer]

Tell me about it, my server doesn't seem to do anything but worms, buffalo, and dolls.

But why in the name of Altana do they keep making parties for Worms?!?

Its this "settle on one play style" syndrome. Even if the numbers are the best (best in this game usually means something like 1% better) there, it is terribly boring. It is like people who dictate that only certain jobs should melee "because they are the best" even in chill settings where people are just trying to have fun. At what point is this a game and at what point is this a number contest?

Why not Frogs?

I think frogs take like half damage to magic. That said, I really wish someone would fight them more often, I need like 700 aquans for a trail.

1 Emp DD and 1 WHM can kill Mikey, there shouldn't be any problems with a whole alliance killing Mikey.

TP Feed might factor in a fair bit with mobs if you have twelve people smacking something. I don't know about Mikey in particular though, I haven't fought that in ages.

The sad thing is, given enough time, I can usually kill those with a White Mage... and my best atma for nuking equipped while doing it is Minikin Monstrosity (no Allure or anything that boosts Mind or light magic on). They make you really appreciate a Black Mage when you get ambushed by one when curing though.
