Guard Skill.......

[hiko]

1) I have played monk since 2005...and I play routinely, tanking often due to pulling hate, but obviously also tanking normally in dynamis or abyssea in farming parties and xp parties. Regardless, I use monk regularly and often.

2) In January of 2009, my guard skill was 138. That's about 34 levels per YEAR.

3) In January of 2010, my guard skill was 161. That's 23 levels in 1 year.

4) Today, my guard skill is 178. That's 17 levels in over 1 year.

I'm unsure who thinks this was improved or who thinks it now is working as intended.

It should not take 10-12 years to cap a skill.

We should not have to pull 20 mobs, get a rdm to help us and wear -evasion gear to cap a skill.

remove all time spent not skilling guard!


SE already said they will turn guard/parry skill up like evasion (getting skill ups without a proc)

edit (in the post you quoted)

With this said, we will be making adjustments so that it is possible to receive skill increases without parry or guard activation similar to evasion.

How many mandies can you take this way? Because with a RDM you can take all of them. That's why he wants one.

And this is the diffenrence between 'want' and 'need'.

He obviously didn't read it, but it's funny watching him cry about how bad the system currently is when they already said they're changing it.

You don't "need" any mandies. You can try to cap it on EP beetles outside of Abyssea if you want, it will only take longer. There is a line between want and need, but in this game (or any game for that matter) it's almost always arbitrary and will vary wildly from person to person.
