Make GuKu force pop

If you're working on a Masamune, then yes, until it's finished your SAM is subpar. Is that unreasonable given the break that you took? Not really. Most people who come back from long breaks that introduced new content are subpar geared until they've finished catching up to everyone else. I don't think anyone's going to call you out on it aside from Pchan. But that doesn't make you as a player subpar. At least you're making legitimate progress on it instead of whining like a little bitch about how hard Emps are like some people. That's something to be commended.

I'm not doing Masamune. My sam probably wont go above 49. Until this post I had thought you meant the player was subpar because he doesn't have an empyrean for at least one job. Which I disagreed with. As far as the job is subpar until it has an empyrean, that obviously depends on the job. For example, I would call a Sam without Masamune as subpar as a 75 Sam without hagun back in the day. But that's because of how stupid easy the Cara>CC path is, and because of how weak a Sam is without it. Then look at Gaxe, Glavoid>Itza is much more anoying and time consuming to complete, and war is already a strong job without it. Then there's polearm. Chloris>Ulhua, another annoying path (Chloris is annoying, Ulhua is easy) and empyrean polearm is pretty much matched by OAT anyway.
That said, I'm pretty much doing the current empyrean for the sake of having an empyrean. It's not the one I want the most, but I figure get something under my belt before I start the long annooying road that is Glavoid>Itza.
