Haste and You... A guide to the misinformed.

Apparently, you totally missed what I said. I said it's his opinion that haste is the most important gear choice that people can make in this game. It's apparent that he feels that way because he directly said that I was, among other people, the reason he made your original post in the first place. It was obvious to him that haste was not that important to me. So, maybe take a break from thinking for a while, or think another minute about what you just read before you reply to it.

You want to hit harder to do more damage so you don't change your gear.

You will do the same amount of damage per weapon skill as someone who stacks haste and switches to damage gear for their weapon skill.

You won't, however, do as much damage over time as that other person. They will do more weapon skills than you.

You do less damage and are less useful than someone who properly gears themselves with haste.

This is not an opinion.

But then I will die because the mob is crit hitting me or using a TP move at the same time that I'm changing gear for a weapon skill, causing my mage to not be able to cure me. Then I die and lose all my tp anyway.

I still win.

What does gear swapping have to do with your mage's ability to cure you?

Everything, according to far too many horrible horrible mages these days. @Nature: <stpt>, <stal>, f1-f6, learn them, love them, spread the joy.

If a mage lets someone die because of a gear swap, the mage is bad. There are normal macro tags that eliminate the loss of target when blinking, and they have been in the game for years now. It's not hard.

If you don't know anyone who still pulls that crap, definitely. The only mages I regularly do things with are better than that, but I definitely still hear it all the time from mages I know to be bad, in shout, or if I'm doing anything to help a friend of mine and his/her lowbie shell.

Are you serious with me? Not everybody plays on PC with windower with Blink Me Not. Why don't you play on whm without Blink Me Not and try curing or casting other spells on somebody who constantly gear swaps in a fight. Then get back with me.

Especially trolls who change an entire quote. I hope the mods see it. Very funny.

Isn't it? i mean that was the jist of your posts thus far. take it for what you will, You're being irrational and very aggressive. It was ment to be funny. If you don't like trolls, take your trolling elsewhere.

You don't need a windower, PC, nor blinkmenot.

You pick your target from the party list, not by targeting their character. It makes no difference how many times they blink, it has 0 effect on the mage's ability to cast on that person.
