    I do not go intentionally go out of my way to do poorly. I'm just seriously done with people like you. I might as well be done with these forums. I bet you're so hardcore, your mom brings you a bedpan to shit in like in that South Park WoW episode.

    You're welcome to believe that. I've already told you I don't care what you think.

    Guess that change of M.O. will help in your last bastion of forum hope? Not making it sound negative, just missed reading some of your posts on other forums.

    You do though. Between not using haste gear, not using <stpt>, trying to balance a tp/ws set without swapping gear, etc, you really do.

    What? What change? That has always been my motivation for posting on both alla and bg.

    I actually use <stpt> when I'm using my collaborator/accomplice macros. My whm is only level 45 and haven't played it in months. I have no other reason to use <stpt>. I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to balance a tp/ws set up without swapping gear. I think Fondle is right. I think you guys really take the gear portion of this game way too seriously that you call people bad players over it.

    What? You said you weren't aware of it earlier.

    There is something wrong with trying to balance a tp+ws set. They require vastly different gear, and it is impossible to get a reasonable set that is good for both. The only way to do even decent at either, is to use different sets for both.

What's the point of haste if you can't hit? More chances to hit? 1% wasn't worth the difference. Askar Helmet is 4% Haste with +4STR/DEX/VIT. I can consider that a poor choice of wearing with effort to obtain.

    If there is something better than what you have, that is easier/cheaper to get, than you are doingitrong. Example: trying to get a dalmatica solely for the refresh, even though pluviale is much easier to get.

    Basically, you want to get reasonable NQ gear (which is incredibly cheap), and then upgrade it as you are able to, starting with whatever gets you the most for the least gil/time. At no point should you ever downgrade anything. As long as your base sets are good, this will always be acceptable.

    Base sets should be pretty simple: tp should be haste > acc/da > atk > etc. Ws sets should take advantage of appropriate modifiers, and/or atk+acc, as appropriate.
    You never know, they may have gotten lucky enough to own a Kraken Club as a casual player, lol. (Even though I know a party doing that BCNM wouldn't allow someone to keep such an expensive piece for one person unless the party made a deal or the current owner became untrustworthy.) I never considered Dalmatica as a very good item in my opinion, so I'll give you that. And loading up on WS modifiers should be a given too. But you brought up TP>ACC when I believe you should have enough ACC, like I was implying earlier in this post, where you hit 80-100% of the time, then load up on haste.

    Sorry that I disagreed with some of the examples, but I am more understanding of what was meant when you said "intelligent" gear. Guess as long as teaching others how to properly gear themselves is understood, they are informed and can make their own decisions based on what is actually beneficial.

    I said I wasn't aware of <stal>. Go back and look if you don't believe me.

    Of course. However if they don't sell it, then they are doinitrong. Getting a drop, and then not selling it is exactly the same as buying it. In either case you have x gil less than you could have if you either didn't buy the item, or if you sold it after getting the drop.

    But you brought up TP>ACC when I believe you should have enough ACC, like I was implying earlier in this post, where you hit 80-100% of the time, then load up on haste.
    I was trying to give a general rule of thumb. If your acc is low, then yes, acc can in fact beat haste.
