Full Perle

[Harpalina]

About 3 weeks ago, I was in a La Theine worms alliance. There were 12 melee DDs, each wearing pre 75 equipment, or full cruor set, and 1 drg with a few pieces AF3, and AF2+1. Her Drakesbane outparsed the party by 65%. When you have 6-8 DDs spamming their strongest WS to kill one worm, yet the drg next to you is soloing that worm, we have a problem. Lazy DDs are bad DDs. If they make excuses for not having at least the next best thing (like a thf wearing 50s daggers because he thought they looked cool, or mnk using afflictors for same reason) then they are no good to me.

I'm sure Atma played a role too. And I'm not saying a LV 50 weapon on a LV 90 character should be worn, no matter how uber the stats might be. My point is 78 gear on a 90 isn't that far of a stretch. It's only a 12 level difference. And again, the stats aren't horrible. I'm not advocating full perle is end all be all. I've never worn full perle myself, but to completely dismiss someone just because of their gear is a little superficial. And if they have good atmas, then it balances things out, in my opinion.

Im just saying there are a lot of lazy dogpiles of DDs out there who think what they have on is good enough, when it's just plain awful. I'm not belittling perle, some of them are aspiring to be more, but some DDs just make me sick, like this one who told a dude to get out of Walahra Turban because haste takes time to proc >_>.

Uhm...I'm not really sure what that last statement means lol. I always have Walmart Turban on for TP.

He meant haste is like an additional effect on a weapon, like it has a small % chance to activate... which is incredibly wrong as we all know.

Uh? Wtf that doesn't make sense!

That was sort of the point ^

I will admit to being one of the noob dd's in full perle. It's a temporary problem I am working to solve. Alas until after abyssea came out, I was a whm full time. So back in the days when I ran an end game linkshell and we were constantly gearing up dds, I didn't think to pick up a few of the shiny pieces for myself. I don't have sky/sea/dynamis gear for my sam. Perle seemed like the best choice for damage. I also have a tp build(not the recommended one, but it works). I also busted my butt to get the shiny atmas before ever thinking of using the job. I'm currently working on my empyrean set. I'd be more than happy to buy ah gear for sam if someone could point me to something better for sam until I can get the af3 +2(or +1 for that matter), but until then, it's full Perle or nothing.

I don't mind people wearing full Perle as long as they are competent in whatever job they are on, and the weapons/accessories they are using are up to par. I fully understand that Perle set is a very good alternative to Empyrean +1 armor if they haven't obtained it yet so that I'm fine with.

[HFX7686]

Pearl/Aurore/Teal is fine with me as long as the person wearing it understands that it is not the best gear, is not final gear for those slots, and is actively working on getting Emp gear, which is not that difficult to obtain really.

seriously don't listen to haters, if they wanna complain about you wearing Perle, then drop their pt. If you're tanking with Perle, they prolly need you, stick it to them by leaving. if they didn't need you, then oh well. don't let them ruin your experiance
