Twilight Gear, why fulltime!?

[Glamdring]

ok, only addressing the topic, not the attitude. Maybe they are one of those beasts that just like to throw pets at something and then AFK for like 20 minutes. I see too many players like that on ANY job, but if all you're gonna do is AFK, then yeah, free RR3 is nice.

I definitely see a use for Twi gear for beast in parties, if the party insists on "helping" the beast our hate control and thus damage control and the like go out the window, it's all too easy to get killed by AoE TP spam and the like, then the RR is your friend. I know a few players that can't take a hint when I say "PLEASE leave me and my mob alone and kill stuff with the rest of the pt, I got this". I have more pt friendly jobs and tend to bring them, but every once and a while I like to bring the beast to get the TEs out of the way as fast as possible, maybe to help pull in the very unfriendly areas, sometimes to help when we are short jobs for the right build, or I'm just bored.

Still, I'd never personally FT Twilight set, I just have better stuff so why bother. although that IS 1 other possibility, might be a bandwagon bst who aby burned and it just happens to be the only body/head they have that bst can use... Gotta wear SOMETHING until you get useful pieces I guess...

What's really funny? The people in perle and twilight gear are probably having fun where the OP is having a temper tantrum about how they're all doing it wrong. I'd say the person having fun in a video game is doing better than the one having a fit over what someone else is doing. Take a step back and have a little perspective, OP.

(for the sake of haveing 10 char)

Yeah I watch a lot of those BSTs having fun and then get their asses tore apart because they're too retarded to consider that their pets are tanking most of the damage without any consideration that if their pet dies then they're next. I've seen this happen so many times.

You could say it's fun for me to watch them die so horribly. ^-^

[Behemothx]

lol at caring what others wear.

[Mifaco]

I can't be arsed to get out every single piece of bst gear and do the inventory dance for a job I barely play.

That's really kind of disturbing that you derive such pleasure from the suffering or failure of others, but it's not very surprising. The FFXI community is a lot more screwed-up in the head than it gets credit for. Thanks for demonstrating that!

Disturbing? Probably.

Amusing to see so many Bandwagon BSTs get their shit kicked in because they're too lazy to gearswap? Awesome!

This kind of entertainment is the best you can enjoy from players who halfass their gear. Everytime I hear someone saying they don't macro swap their gear, I just facedesk and wait for the outcome of their painful suffering & humliation because they complain that this game is too hard. lol

People who play BST like that are just pure unadulterated lazy. I avoid doing anything with them because they're either too stubborn to gear thier jobs up somewhat respectivly or they think full pearl is ok and Abyessa is too hard.

So yeah watching them die horribly because they're too stupid to learn that you can't halfass your way thru on stuff that matters is pure entertainment at it's best.~

There is level 18 gear that is better than this.

no there isn't

Despite it being an awful fulltime choice, it does actually contribute a few things. 25 DEX makes up to an 11% crit rate difference, and 25 STR and 25 Attack raise your average melee quite a lot. It would still lose to proper Haste gear, but it's not nearly as awful as the OP makes it out to be. It may even beat Perle head/body combination (assuming no other pieces), depending on current Haste set.

pretty much sums up perfectly.

The real situation honestly Twilight body is accully a decent Tp body.

As for the head you lose alot of haste BUT the regen is useful in keeping ur self fully healed sp it's not so bad.

either way twilight set is decent tp set, great ws set, great reward set, and has RR to boot so yea stop hating.

[Shadowsong]

No, Twilight is one of the worst TP options, second or third best WS set, only body works for reward, and stop sucking so you dont die or use the basically free RR items already obtainable?
I have not read a single good reason so far why people are fulltiming this, so I'll continue to assume those that do are either casual or suck (both need to be avoided nowadays anyway)
Also, lol @ the having less fun thing

This..



Isn't better then this for a TP piece.



I don't know what you're thinking but I like being able to hit the Haste cap as a BST.

Twilight Body is a good Ruinator piece if you don't have a decent Ebody with augments or a Toci's. Other then Reward that's about all it's good for.

P.S. If you die that much that you need Reraise then you suck at the job I'm sad to say.
