Down with Gear Swapping!

[Airenn]

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?

RIGHT ON TEARVALERIN AT IT AGAIN!!!

Cyx has it right. If you are a healer blaming DD for dying "because they blink" then please don't play a healer job. Problem solved, all this annoying whining goes away. I would rather SE look into bigger and better things than listening to people who are too mentally challenged to use proper macros.

It's not just with heals. It's anything that requires targeting. And exepcting people to create a seperate macro for everythign they do just so you can avoid having your target suddenly canceled on the whim of someone else is too much of an inconvience, i'm sorry.

If it was just with healing spells alone, then yes - it woudn't be a huge problem. But it isn't. This is a false debate, this whole healing thing. A non-issue for people to seize onto and call people names over.

I honestly cannot see why people would assume I'm trolling, perhaps my lack of posting on the boards because I don't have a lot of free time to actually sit down and post daily.

I do use my Murgleis over my Excalibur, I think that when I hit Aftermath Lv.3 its a stronger weapon then Excalibur, not to mention my Death Blossom is much stronger then my KoR will ever be whenever I use it, I'm strongly against gear swapping because I think its absolutely useless! I could carry more meds with me, more pop items, and hold more pop items if need when I do events, I've got 18/20 jobs to 90 with them all geared, and I've given up with gear swapping about 2 years ago because its just not worth the benefit and I don't notice a decrease in my characters performance.

If I'm planning to play DD I grab all my haste gear, if I'm planning to Mage I grab all my Cure gear, If I'm going to be Nuking well thankfully I've got Laevateinn recently to 90 and it pulls ahead over those silly staves everyone is working their tail off attempting to build.

I'm not a troll and I'm strongly against Gear Swapping, and I do understand the game mechanics but the marginal increase that swapping from one piece of gear to another during a weapon skill is so minimal in my eyes that its not worth the inventory -1 and I'd rather give it to someone else who thinks they would utilize it better.

You have a different opinion than them Nidhogg. Therefore you are either an idiot or trolling. Haven't you learned this yet? (That was sarcasm in case you could not tell)

That being said I do have to disagree with you though. I think swapping gear is worth it for the increase in performance, else believe you me, i woudn't be doing it, as it annoys the living _____ out of me. I think what it adds to your character is very significant.

[Nathen]

They will never remove gear swapping. I agree though it makes absolutely no sense why in game a monster would wait while you switch armor belts and shoes. I also tend to enjoy gear swaps for the extra damage. I do think your trolling though, either that or are just trying to brag of the weapons you claim to have. If you do have them good for you but don't need to knock gear swaps for it,

Nidhogg, you so silly.

Everyone knows you don't need any weapon other than Spike Flail.

[Ryland]

Oh god I just now noticed the spike flail pic was your signature. I thought you were just endlessly showcasing a lackluster performance.

[Bulrogg]

If you really want to make sure the spell goes off you can always resort to using up all your macro books by making PC slot spells.

/ma "spell" <##>

where <##> = <p0> - <p5> ~ <a10> - <a15> ~ <a20> - <a25>

Although I wouldn't, it is an option to make sure the spell goes of regardless of you or others flashing.

you dont need to have macros for everything you do, just the important stuff.
