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

omg I wish. I can't EVEN go SAM/WAR anymore unless we are just flat out raping stuff in there. That Double Attack boost is just too much damage...among all the other wonderful goodies /WAR brings with it.... heheheheh. And don't EVEN get me started on DRG/SAM's TP gain <drool>.

Really sucks when you have to nerf yourself sometimes to stay alive...takes me back to when I used to play RNG... /sigh

What is "too much damage"?

[Therin]

I had to get out the popcorn for this thread.

MMM popcorn! But seriously, if mages in abyssea cant keep you alive, there is an issue- unlimited mana pool, godly cureskin, etc and you're worried about dying? Time to find new mages.

hehe.. it's more that they don't want me to do it b/c I become too much an mp sponge. /WAR and /SAM can make so many jobs such hate mongers now. I usally have the gear to hold my own...took on 5 mandies the other night and killed them all after the "tank" died... but... meh. Held Sippoy on WHM once while the "tank" recovered from Weakness. I'm forever told to turn around on an NM so the NIN can get hate... asked not to WS so much... have to spam jumps to shed hate on DRG... I'm like WTF am I supposed to do, sit on my ass? It's frustrating sometimes how crazy hate is on some targets now. For the last month or so, they've always had me come WHM or SMN for the triggers...which is getting a little old. While it's always fun smacking things with Garuda...I'd like to feel the rush of beating something myself once in a while. But noooo... Cataclysm is bad... makes amber if it kills.... meh.

...no respect...

The problem doesn't seem to be with you, it seems to be with them.

OMG not another 'I dont swap gear because then the mage cant cure me" bs. As someone that mains whm and rdm, this is total bs. This is sheer laziness, and bragging that you lead/sack w/e in a ls is doing no justice to them because you are a sheer moron. Been playing since 2007? and you dont know how to gear swap to optimize play? that is nothing to brag about. But yet you sit here and bash on people for trying to help you improve. Obviously you and anyone else that holds this position needs to not post n forums until you learn how to play the game. And you accuse people of trying to troll you/harrass you for giving you tips on gameplay?Seriously what drugs are you on. This is not opinion, it is fact, math >your self righteous blabber on some forum that you think will get noticed. Pease don't indulge us anymore with your pitiful excuses for a melee not swapping gear.

[Greatguardian]

I think you're a few pages too late :P

[Yarly]

So I put on haste gear and I don't notice my casting going faster. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug?????

[Avidon]

I'm being very sincere when I say this, so bring on the tough love.
I've been playing this game since the release of the NA ps2 release (off and on). In times past I use to gear swap, but as I got older and took on more responsibilities, this game turned more into a leisure thing and I do what the capacity of my brain will let me. :P
So I don't gear swap anymore, I sorta try to find that happy medium, and i have varying sets of gear I use for one job based off a situation but I don't change them that much to count as gear swapping. And I'm in no way in disagreement over fact. Math doesn't lie. But does that make me a bad player? I'd like to think skill vs gear can find a happy medium.
Educate me. Thanks

[Henihhi]

Yea probably lol. I didnt follow this thread step by step then saw this same bs about not gear swapping elsewhere and read this one. Jus saw a lot of the posts and the brag sigs and had to laugh. Finished cop the hard way and started playing in 2007? Okay, i need some of w/e they are on. A sack and shell holder and doesnt know that haste improves dps output? And doesnt swap gear to improve said output? this has nothing to do with being an elitist, this has to do with common f***ing sense.
