again, if you proud yourself on having capped guard and all that grats. I will agree having capped guard takes time and effort to get, but again your original post was rating a monk a bad monk cause his guard skill was not capped. So thats like saying any job that can parry if their skill aint capped they are a bad nin,sam,thf, <insert jobs with high parry skill>, etc.

That is the point we are trying to make here.

Now if we would have been talking warrior here and you said this guy was a bad war because he didnt have his weapons capped i would see your point, but then again i would ask "well are his weapons high enough to get red procs in abyssea" and if they were then it wouldnt be a big deal to me. Now if you then said his GAxe skill was way under capped then yeah we could have a problem, but then again maybe he's a warrior who likes to dual wield axes, well it's not my choice of weapon on war but he, he is he and i am me.
