The noob moments that you have witnessed that made you /facepalm...

[Pyrobunny]

I feel like when I play BLU, all I do is gear swap... I don't see how it would even be possible to successfully play the job without gear swaps, as most physical spells SUCK without proper changes. Not to mention 700CW compared to 5k...

i'm still missing the Loki body and the Aias Bonnet for my CW set and the ASA pants for -PDT
but i can still pull a larg group and still one shot.

also the blu spell Occultation u need a 400+ skill to get 8 blink shadows wich u need gear swaping for

[Tamoa]

here is the thing, end game doesn't appeal to me because of the poor attitudes people had. Oh the stuff I tanked @ 7/mnk/dnc was the avatars. Also I out lasted a pld as a dnc/war on an aggro zeegraficowmel (trying to lighten the mood as an appology) befire the dnc updates. this was @ 30. And the h-effer kept doing that OMGNOTAGAINWTF does. (i forgot what it was called so put that for s and gs) again in sub par gear. and 1 dinky dagger. The fact I did outlast a pld on a omgwtf fail sience made that thiggy as a dnc/war is still a shocker the pld tanked it down till it was 50% then died the wtfisthatjcomawd healed itself to full I voked it with both voke and my loldnc voke, and just kept myself cured.

I only just saw this post. 95% of it is impossible to decipher. However, regarding the bolded part:

I soloed the avatars a long time ago as 75nin/26rdm (war and nin were my only 75 jobs back then) using refresh drinks. And I didn't gearswap back then because I didn't know any better. My point? Those were never hard and saying you "tanked" them means nothing.

Oh and Rosina, as a sidenote: you do realize you can swap neck, rings, earrings, belt and mantle and it won't make your character blink, right? Even swapping only those gearpieces would improve your performance.

Who doesn't swap gear anymore? What is this 2004?

[Myrrh]

Rosina, I have a honest to god question.

Is this some massive troll attempt? I ask because actually believing what you believe just doesn't seem possible.

[Aver]

She's gonna respond with something along the lines of no, you're being childish and insulting, blah blah blah respect her opinion blah blah.

It's all been said before.

[Karbuncle]

for what not liking gear swaping. if so DO YOU NOT REALISE HOW DUMB THAT IS?

No. Its because you refuse to admit you're wrong and you are wrong. Guess what? Opinions can be wrong. Want proof?

In my opinion, the Sun is Blue.

I'm wrong.

Just like you saying your opinion is gear swapping doesn't matter. You're wrong. thats it, and you're running around here acting like we're all insane/rude because we're calling you out on giving bad information, Opinion or not, its wrong. What you're doing is against the Forum rules.

I quote:

Please do not post false, fabricated and/or fictitious information. It is unconstructive and will only confuse others. Please be careful with what you post and keep in mind that your words can affect others more than you may expect.

You're opinion is wrong and you're trying to spread this misinformation, what you are doing is against the rules rather you want to admit it or not.

THAT is why people are upset.

[Alukat]

In my opinion, the Sun is Blue.

I'm wrong.

it isn't? :O you must live on another planet xD, just kidding. ^^

[Rearden]

Rosina is able to survive while not gear swapping due to something very simple: While everyone else gear swapping and contributing to the party, Rosina was not doing any damage and not really contributing anything at all. Due to having the lowest amount of hate, she easily lived longer than everyone else.

Also, DNC/WAR? lol. Good troll.

Long ago..
I was on drg/whm farming dune widow to sell the torque and make some money, and saw a friend there soloing cactrot rapido as rdm/nin.
He got hit once through stoneskin so i cure 3'd him, after a while i just got bored of watching so i proceeded to walk to the outpost for teleportation, when i was just at the op npc, cactrot rapido came and raped my ass and then came back to my friend and 10k needle'd his ass XD

I had a similar event happen the other day when I was killing pots for the final Earth magian trial. I ran by a Japanese white mage soloing Teek, but it looked as if they were low on HP. I gave a little friendly cure, since Teek looked like he was almost dead and the taru looked as if it'd be smooth sailing from there. Well, needless to say I was very confused when about ten minutes later I was getting brutally destroyed by ga spells from a supposedly sleeping pot. Nope, come to find out Teek had killed that taru and was coming after me!

We almost managed to kill it but can only do so much when weakened. XD

Moral of the story: don't cure random strangers because it will most likely come back to bite you in the butt.
