Counterstance a horrible ability?

I really don't know what to say....

Yes, an ability that stops half of all incoming hits in a game with a spell like Utsusemi available to all classes via easy customization is terrible design.

Yes when asked, "Counterstance is a horrible ability?", also the way you're comparing it to utsusemi (One of the ackowledged best forms of damage mitagation in the game) also implies it's terrible in comparison. It would be like someone saying, "Cars being able to take you 360 miles in 6 hours when a jet can take you 2,000 miles is terrible design." did you flat out say cars are terrible? No, but it's sure implied.

counterstance is a terribly-designed ability and while we're at it H2H damage calculation is pretty messed up, too, but i have never claimed every other job in the game is not pretty bad compared to MNK

Again, "While we're at it" implying both are in similar states in your opinion and then stating, "Not that I'm saying others jobs have it better." which, "while we're at it", double negatives are typically a no-no.

Of course that's based off the fact I have never heard someone say, "Man, having a million dollars is so great, not that I never said that other income classes don't have it worse than them."

Yeah, but if everyone thought it meant one thing, it's their fault, not your poor wording choice.

EDIT: Karbuncle, lay off my word. I am the only one allowed to say "Indubitably", and am in fact required to say it 5 times per sentence. Read ffxiah!
