I see no reason that Immanence was brought up here while simultaneously having an active thread but yeah it's a pretty broken ability.

There's no reason to call people names.

Rooj, I know this isn't the takeaway that you wanted someone to take from this, but you've been here for a few months telling everyone The Game Is Fine, and just announced you just finished Reisenjima Tier 1.

I do wholeheartedly agree with playing defensively more often than most people do (It's the paladin in me, I guess). I've said it before but a live 6-hit build will outdps a dead 4-hit build. There are fights were you can zerg, fights where you can play semi-cautiously (maybe you don't get to ride Berserk), fights where you swap to -dt gear for certain spells/periods, and the occasional fight where you might want to sit in some -PDT/DT gear. Maybe the usefulness of this will change with the change to AoEs.

Some jobs, like BLM, I can't understand why more people don't fulltime -dt gear in certain slots while not casting. If you can't get refresh in the slot, there's no justification for not wearing -dt/-pdt. You should also have a set that sacrifices everything to cap pdt/mdt (while not casting) because sometimes that's what the fight calls for. I know BLMs who have defending ring and never use it on BLM.

Yeah, most the time when we bar against a status, we bar against the matching element (baramnesra/barfira, barpara/barblizzara) for the reasons you mentioned, however sometimes its more useful for the bars to contrast, when the NM's main element and main status ailment conflict.
