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

[RAIST]

It's not going to change gearing my thf for dex, agi, and chr. I'd rather my trick attack hit harder, my evasion be higher and my dancing edge hit harder than change all my gear to the highest haste I can get, just to hit faster. Hitting faster isn't the only, nor is it the most important gear decision people can make on this game. It's YOUR opinion that it is.

Guess you missed this post:

My post was pretty much exclusively related to the "TP Phase" of game play and loosely includes the impact of haste on spell casting.
Gear swaps should always be used to maximize relevant job abilities, spells, weaponskills, etc.

The point of haste is always been about increasing efficiency. Look at MNK. It grabs hate so easily now because it's just too freaking fast. I used to be real lazy with it and basically just swap for WS and Chakra, but now I HAVE to have macros to swap in gears to keep myself alive now (among others, a damage reduction and an evasion set)--but my main set focuses a good bit on haste to reduce delay with a few pieces to make sure I'm still hitting for TP.

My freaking SAM and DRG arein about the same boat too because they still in in Perle for TP (one day I'll get around to farming NM's for them)--that haste really ramps up the hate when you are spamming the WS.

I did not miss it. But I don't gear swap for weapon skills. I'm not a moron who yells at mages for letting me die even though it's my own fault because I gear swapped and they couldn't cure me. I see it happen all the time to other people and after playing this game for three years, it makes me laugh now.

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

I play WHM. I don't have any problem with melee blinking. I don't use any game "enhancements". You apparently have had only bad WHM to accompany your bad THF.

Well, so happy I'm in such good company with a crap load of such high quality players that are just so perfect in every way that they never have any problem curing anybody in this game without enhancements. I bow down to all of you and will immediately go buy and obtain all the haste gear I can so I can be just like all of you.

You don't need to be a good player to use <stpt> macros.

<stal> doesn't take skill. But in light of learning about it, are you genuinely going to change your playstyle or become ignorant? I can accept a player who doesn't know any better, but I won't take any sympathy towards the one that does and refuses to admit they're wrong.

I'm not really sure what I'm wrong about. Choosing to not gear swap is my own personal game choice. It doesn't even make me a bad player. And it's not like I don't wear any haste at all. I just balance it out with other gear that has strong stats in other things so I don't have to gear swap. Some of you totally missed my sarcasm earlier, which made me bust out laughing. So, it's whatever I guess.
