Note to Mages

[Auredant]

This is exactly the reason why I hate being a SCH sometimes.. If you're not a WHM you're SOL, if you're not a BLM you're SOL, if you're not a MNK, NIN or THF you will get nowhere. F***ing drag I tell you.

I would add WAR to that list, but yeah...Abbyssea gave alot of jobs the shaft. In situations where yellow trigger isnt needed I can see use. It's pugs where you'll have the most trouble. I usually tank on NIN and iv'e had a sch come main heal many times and be very satisfied. Of course the sch in question has other jobs and is part of my ls. If you were on my server i'd pearl ya as we always have enough jobs to cover triggers. Best of luck

I forgot about WAR but yeah I understand it just kinda sucks.

I have a Abyssea LS but I wont be able to go like I used to back then with college starting.

On topic, I've known people to burn their Mage jobs like BLM and BLU to 90 and couldn't afford the spells or didn't have the skills to learn them.

Though I know a BLU who was only missing a few BLU spells to proc and was having a hard time learning them, not because he didn't have the skill. on the contrary, he made sure he capped every level he gain and paused his XP [parties because he was afraid to be gimp.

BLU spells are a pain to learn sometimes, its all luck and what not. I remember spending a whole week trying to get a friend to learn Frenetic Rip and he was at the level and skills to learn it but he was super duper unlucky.

I'm a SCH the only BLM spells I cannot proc are Ancient Magic and T3 ga,

The ONLY spells you can't proc? That's HALF of the BLM spells. Of course u wouldn't get invited to proc spells when you could only do it 1/2 the time.

Exactly my point, it's unfair to exclude others because of their jobs/what SE gives them Spell wise, besides, half the time in a Random shout its usually never BLM spells that do proc.

Well, now that we are back on the original topic, I have to say that I agree.

I was once in the position of asking someone who only had BLM RDM and WAR levelled to come on BLM to proc yellow staggers but it turned out she was missing several tier 4 spells. This happened even after the third Abyssea add on had been released. I had even told her before she came out that she was needed to proc yellow. I was especially disgusted because she had had BLM at 75 long before the first Abyssea expansion. Her excuse was that the spells never dropped when she tried to farm her (which I replied she should just buy them then). I never invited her along again.

what whm doesnt have those spells? or all spells for that matter. this is what you get from leeching a job to 90 and actually expecting to play it not just have for bragging rights.

I did level blm from 82 the rest of the way to 90 and do not have the spells for that and never will unless its accidental. Because of that I will never ever even pretend that its not anything but gimp which means I will not be doing it in a serious, or even semi serious, party/alliance. Its not that hard to understand that if you do not have your equip/spells etc up to standard then dont play it for serious.

[Rambus]

Please please please if you do not have ALL proc spells, please do not volunteer that job for a nm run. Take a few minutes to get all ur spells so ur pt doesnt hate u taking up a spot and not !! a nm cause u didnt bother to get Mind Blast. It makes baby chocos cry

you ran into situations where people did not have all thier spells?
I do not understand why/how someone would level a job without spells.

oh i forgot abyssea leveling, this is why abyssea needs to be level 70/75+ entery
people used to get kick out of party when you dont have important spells.

I'm a SCH the only BLM spells I cannot proc are Ancient Magic and T3 ga, so what you are saying is that I shouldn't even volunteer to go fight a NM I NEED because I cannot use those spells? Some BS.

Things like that is the reason why many people get the shaft when It comes to fighting NMs.

that is issue with abyssea, you need a heavy proc job or be hard to get invited.

MNK tank, THF tank, BLM, BLU , BRD , WHM. If you do not have any of these at lest to 75 expect a lot lower invite rate for seal farming.

people expect to have 2-4 people on said jobs because mobs useally drop 4 types of different seals

[cnedra]

That could easily be a brewed Drakesbane. In fact, I'm willing to bet it is. 6934*1.5=10401. Seems about right for a brew.

Ive seen drakesbane go for that much or close to that without brews. If it was with brew i would say its rather weak.

Greatguardian,
Can you give your SIG creator credit since you took his intellectual property and used it for your own?
Thanks

Greatguardian, your sig is awful. I have no idea from looking at it how many assault points you have in each assault area. Fix please, my curiousity is burning.
