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

[Naturebeckles]

For the sake of the thread's integrity, provide information with the same or similar level of depth to the original post's.

Provide mathematical or logically reasoned evidence to suggest that not swapping gear produces better results than swapping gear and using full Haste for TP. If you can do that, I will gladly remove my criticism.

well, first of all... I never claimed that my game style produces better results. I just said there's nothing wrong with my game style.

Let me say this to all of you:

I lead Dynamis runs. Successfully. Most of our LS has access to all zones. I've been leading Dynamis for a year now. I'm the main puller. I often lead events in my social LS for mission fights/Boss fights, etc because I'm very good at battle strategy. Even if we fail the first time, I'm good at pointing out our groups mistakes and adjusting things to make it a success the next time. Why do I say all this? To provide examples of how I'm a good player.

Maybe my downfall is the fact that I don't gear swap for WS's and build lots of haste. Ok.

But - for you to call me a bad player based on that one fact? Just proves how judgmental and ignorant you are and is exactly why I don't play with a lot of "elitest" players who have gear choices on such a high pedestal, that you'd call a good player a bad one without knowing jack about that person outside of their gear choices.

Golf claps for all of you.

The OP showed you mathematically what was wrong with your game style.

This is not an elitist equation. You could put a little work in and get a few pieces of fairly easily obtainable gear and change your play style based on this thread. This is not camping Fafnir/Nidhogg every day for 3 hours at all hours sort of work.

On my thf I wear the Aurore Hat and Gloves (when i don't need my TH Gloves), the earring from ZM that gives enhanced dual wield effect and a swift belt. That's all the haste I wear. It's just not my emphasis to wear other pieces and then gear swap for weapon skills.

/facepalm.

You're a leader of a dynamis shell and aurore is really the best you can do? But then I guess it's not like Dynamis is really an accomplishment.

Oh, but I guess standing around in Port Jeuno wearing pretty gear with your thumb up your butt is an accomplishment? I bet you do really well at that.

I actually do really well at that, along with 99% of game content. Look, if you want to feign ignorance that's fine and dandy, but trying to take swipes at people who actually enjoy playing the game with some intelligence then maybe you shouldn't post in this thread.

I was wondering if you were going to post before I decided to go to bed.

Um, let's see... I'm a person with at least SOME intelligence who also enjoys playing the game. You took the first swipe. I was just returning the favor. Have a nice night.

Aurore head/gloves are just terrible gear choices unless capping haste elsewhere. You are effectively gimping yourself 2% haste over turbin/dusk which are both as easy to obtain. It's not about having the best possible gear in the game or gtfo. It's about making reasonable gear selections based on what you currently have access to or can easily obtain. BTW CoP may have been level capped still when you completed it but it had already been gimped before you even started playing.

I know that about CoP. But it was still hard compared to now. For the new players, it IS the hard way.
