Full Perle

[Harpalina]

To me, yes it does make them noobish, because anyone can go out and get a shout group to get your AF done. I went around thinking it was difficult without a proper LS, and was proven wrong. I now have a full set of +1 or 2 AF3 for my jobs, from shout groups, and being a big boy rather than sitting around and complaining its too hard.

Well, to each his/her own. I don't base a player solely on ones' accomplishments (i.e. gear.), but more so on how they play their character. I try not to make petty judgments.

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.
