What perspective am I supposed to have?!?!?! Every class had 40 buttons, buffs indicted bursts usually, every class had much more utility than now, machinist could one shot, monk could mongo one shot, dragoon had a meme stun(?!?!?!?!?), monk could one ilm buffs off nyahahahahahah, the skill gap was clear as day and ???perspective???Quote:

02-10-2018, 02:06 AMWintersandmanBoth of the first two of these statements are false. Neither class could One Shot anyone. The only thing that was a one shot was Melee LB and that was if you didn't have any vit accessories or didn't know how to get out of range. Due to the range requirement most Melee would stun then LB due to it but if the person had on a single vit accessory that one shot attempt was wasted. Lastly Dragoon had 2 stuns and even if they did have 3 they target would go immune after the 3rd. If anything PLD was the king of stuns and was great to lock down healers from getting out of control. But that was only effective if the dps were paying attention. The way stuns worked for PLD was 4 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, immune. MNK, DRG, NIN, and other classes who had stun abilities were not nearly as effective as they would either be 3 seconds, 2 seconds with the 2nd stun being 1 second.Quote:

This is exactly it. Every Job had a counter. As a healer warriors weren't a threat. As ninja, I just had to wait out Push Back and then there goes part of the warrior burst as any melee dps had greater burst than War itself. They could live in defiance and Inner Beast but that was only so effective for so long.Quote:

Maybe redefine your idea of "one shot"? If you need more than 3 GCDs to kill someone it is not really one shot -
