100% PDT for PET is plain BS.

[Ilax]

SE have to fix that exploit, watching a BST 60 min long solo Hedjedjet is dumb, so is watching a PUP pet solo dargua for 60 min long as well.

Major mistake from SE allowing PET to have more then 50% PDT....

Do you think you're a good person with so much hatred in your heart for a certain group of people? Shameful.....just shameful....

Bad timing for this thread too, with all the PUPs totally ticked off and all. It's like kicking us while we're down.

I'm seeing frustration more than anger. With Abyssea being a time-sensitive environment, bumping into someone basically tickling a mob to death is not a good thing, be it a pet job, some alliance zombie'ing, or anything that can attack from range using pinning. As is, other invlunerabilities like Avatars or BRD's bugged carols have been fixed, and actual player damage reduction is capped outside of limited use meds or 2 hours. As much as these jobs may be reveling in the perks of that power, it is an exploit. And while I can empathize with those who had worked to build their -PDT sets for this purpose, this is one of those "Too good to be true!" things.

You have to be honest, -100pdt is pretty stupid.

Not really, if you understood just what it takes to get that 100%. And while I'm not a BST 90 with 100% PDT pet nor will I be anytime soon if ever, I also have any of a dozen jobs welcomed in Abyssea. I really do not shed a tear for anyone hurt emotionally by this. Go BST. You damn well deserve it.

If I could get -100% Physical damage taken on PLD I would be all over it and would make pld amazingly broken. It's not that hard to get either, an Atma and some magian weapons, -50% is ok but -100% is completely silly.

I tend to agree with this sentiment. BST, PUP and, to some degree, SMN, are rarely welcomed to Abyssea except to solo (and that's just welcoming themselves), never to parties that require procs, and so people who enjoy playing them and not, say, BLM, WHM, BLU, BRD, WAR, MNK or NIN, should rightly be able to get something on them (and so should other jobs that commonly get looked over). The fact that jobs regularly invited to proc groups have to wait for some poor BST, SMN or any other rarely invited job to finish slowly killing a monster are not high on my sympathy list; they already get to blaze through killing and getting their stuff when the unfortunate job isn't there, and that's the VAST majority of the time (not to mention that they can proc and actually get stuff at a reasonable speed), and they can actually come on a job they LIKE to play.

If you want the BST to get its butt out of your way, maybe you should convince SE to encourage people to actually invite it so people who enjoy playing BST can actually do so and not have to deal with both being rejected and the demands that it cease doing the only things it actually can. That way EVERYONE can have some fun and get stuff instead of just people who like a few select jobs.

100% damage reduction makes absolutely no sense. That's a PLD's 2hr, which (duh) you can only use every two hours. For a 30 second duration. Having BST and PUP fulltime it is just silly. 80% I can understand, and in fact I believe that should be the cap (for players too). And yes, as was pointed out, Abyssea is a time-sensitive area, and even if it wasn't, watching a guy tickle a mob down for 90min and more when you wanted to do that is not just generally disappointing, but also against the spirit of Abyssea, which is to make content easily accessible to everyone. People complained about 3min respawn timer for ???s, but having to postpone a NM because someone is AFKing it to death for longer than you can even stay in the zone? It's like soloing Genbu in 5 hours. While it's possible, and kudos to you if you have that much patience, it obstructs content for everyone else. It's simply unfair.

I was watching an alliance kill Raja the other day and the PLD and NIN in the party died. Yet, Raja wasn't chasing the mages down. Want to know why? Lucky Lulush was tanking him. Guess who continued to tank him with absolutely no problems whatsoever the entirety of the rest of the fight: a white rabbit named Lucky Lulush. It was hilariously sad. Why no one has realized how broken this is, and exploited it to it's fullest extent is beyond me. Maybe if people start exploiting it, SE will step up and do something.

[Akujima]

I disagree. I think players should be allowed even more PDT as well. I want to be able to solo everything without a healer. I want to be a tank, melee and a healer all rolled into one.

If SE doesn't make the game easier, I'm going to quit and make my friends quit along with me.
