Skill

[Glamdring]

When you say defensive skill, ill just assume you mean Evasion Shield Parry and Guarding skill. Evasion itself is easy to cap, so I highly doubt ppl really have that underlvled (and if they are underlvled, then the fact that thier not dodgeing attacks because of the lack of skill is killing them already). Shield skill only really applies to Plds, and since they are already tanks, they will probably be capping that easily as well. And as for Parrying and Guard, there base proc rate is so low on mobs that matter that if SE took it out of the game, not that many ppl would notice the difference.

No, when someone went 30-90 in a week, their skills will all be subpar... to the tune of several hundred. Skill is NOT that fast in abyssea. the stupid part s that some of the leeching people have jobs that could work on SOME of thier skills . The specific instance I speak of is the 90 blm invited to a pick-up party I was in about 12 days ago, his elemental magic skill was 128. Seriously? You're going to show up to a 90 party with 128 in your job's primary skill?

And yes, I am referring to the defensive skills you reference, plus enhancing , healing, and divine magic. These are hard enough to skill for someone who is straight-leveling unless they solo the whole way up, when you essentially PL your character all the way to 90 while you AFK they are going to be miserable.

Keep in mind my post was referring to on how easy it is to cap Evasion and Shield. Evasion is probably the easiest skill to cap in this game, since you can get skill ups on that while getting hit. And why bring up elemental magic skill when what your asking for is ppl taking more damage when those 2 skills are lower? Unless your saying if any of your skills are uncapped, then you should take additional damage, it shouldn't matter. And if you are saying that, then that will mean both most rdms and schs should take more damage cause most don't have divine magic skill capped because they dont have any divine magic to skill with. Yeah they can /whm, but still they should waste their time skilling something that they will rarely ever use?
