Down with Gear Swapping!

[Bigtop]

I don't even use the <stal> etc. macros (too lazy to change them) and I've never had too much of a problem with blinking. I just keep myself targeted and switch when I go to cast. Very rarely do I miss. This is a non-issue.

I totally agree a non-issue... Is it annoying? Yes. Does it matter ? NO

[Kailea_Nagisa]

oh I agree blinking does suck, but I understand why blinking exists, and there for work around it with what SE has given me.

[magnius]

work around it with what SE has given me.

What a wonderful concept.

Gear swaping is only a problem for people who are lazy...learn <stal> and live with, if you can't probably shouldn't be playing this, either way this is not "complain" worthy, it's almost as dumb as the "raise/lower the abyssea level caps" threads, i'm sorry but whining about gear swap is comeplety unesassary, good players will always do it, and it won't change or go away. it HAS to be done. i always use stal nor do i use any 3rd party programs to help with "blinking" issues, and i'v content and have no problems with it, it's not an issue at all IMO, you just need to learn how to work with it.

The only time blinking is a problem is realy in ballista and brenner atm. The use of allaince commands or party heal macros or with targets name in it avoids this. In there it causes a unfair advantage of you losing your target. But that asside I would like to say macro swapping opens up the dynamics of this game you can get as complex as simple as you want on something. Wearing a universal outfit if you are lazy also works. Or get in as much depth with a character as you want ... Lets take mnk for example
A macro for haste tp build ~all your +store tp and haste gear
A macro for str gear swap for wpn skill
a macro for chakra including ~vit and af body etc
a macro for chi blast~ all mnd af relic and stuff to boost this
etc etc
each item you have that raises a specific job ability stacked with other gear is situationaly able to be swaped in for its effect. To remove the depth a player wants to get into a specfic job would ruin alot of my play. I personaly enjoy seeing what al I can add to where and get the most out of something I want to do. If you dont want to swap gear then just wear a universal gear selection that works for you. The dynamics of swaping in and or out stuff for every job has some pros . It's just ;lugging all the equipment around with you and the time you have to devote to collect stuff for it and make macros for that players dont like.

I agree it adds to the depth of game-play Morgan. But it's a clunky system that needs refinement.

when healing on my rdm and someone blinks i just re select them takes a few seconds and if they blink when they are bouta die preventing me from healing tough luck.

That makes you a lazy (read: bad) rdm.

Btw do a spell check on your signature.


@Dale: First of all, brownie point to you for actually cross curing (or trying to) as pld. Second - Do you have a cure macro when on pld? Assuming you do - change the command in the macro to <stpt> or <stal>. If you don't have one, you should make one, using those commands.

Forget the past. Ignore the future. Enjoy the present. still incorrect :|. we dont really need to rid of gear swapping, why is this thread still up?
