For The Love Of God..Equip Upgrades You Get In Dungeons..

Ran WP twice last night and both runs had peeps with full AF that got gear upgrades and for some unknown reason did not want to equip them, one of them actually refused after I asked nicely because his AF "looked better"...

makes me wonder why he's running AK in the first place? if he doesn't want to equip any DL gear he will get from the tomstones or any of the drops.....lol

So why Piety and not spell speed? Granted, you get both with Darklight, and both scale horribly, but spell speed is actually a little better on account of you having a most excellent ability called Shroud of Saints.

I hope you know that can have more than one gear set, so simply switch between your dungeon and solo gear set.

It would still be better then if the had lv1 gear. Because they want to soul bind it to convert it.

I can't blame 'em. AK gear is fuuuuuugly. There's a reason I've stuck to my AF robe while gathering up myth tomes. I've no desire to look like I'm level 15 again!

Note to self. Never play with you. Nor anyone else who ends every sentence with an ellipsis. Which, by the way, is three periods, not two: "..."
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rock out in my AK chestpiece because I will never wear Darklight or Darksteel.

I've put some effort in the AK set and I couldn't be more satisfied. That mask is hilariously ugly.

Its not like your 'hurting your group' that badly. Plus, by the time you've gathered enough tomes for the DL body, you can just get the accessories and everything else first then move right on to af2 for your body.
Don't get me wrong though, I personally hate the vanilla AF because its just so... overplayed. I liked rocking my WP gear for a while, as a tank you look just like a brass blades guard! Stats for the body was identical (literally. in every way) to af body though, so...

ran AK with a Black Mage today with a lv 39 staff, Dragoon wasn't much better with a 41 spear and brayflox armor. needless to say I was on relic PLD and after 14 painful minutes fighting first boss (at one point all 4 enemies were up, Golem, Lunatic Priest, Psycheflayer and White Golem) I politely said I was going to leave and we lack the necessary damage to challenge the next boss.

it was painful

I will keep mana over spell speed till I'm working on final gear sets. If you choose otherwise then so be it. I'll stick with my gaming knowledge and gear selection as I've been doing so in far more complicated games than this. But thank you for the assumptions to the contrary.

Years ago I was running a Wow Nax raid and managed to win the DP bidding for a weapon drop (but forgot to equip it!) A short while later one of the group spotted this and asked in raid chat why I wasn't using it. The only thing I could think of as a reply was that it was new and I didn't want to break it....

Zero issues due to mana on my gear. I just press a lot of buttons. Obv. Gear will change once I get token gear.

I too choose style over stats which is why I skipped darklight and got af2 body on paladin.

I kind of agree with the looks thing as well since I skipped DL for my Valor armor, but I actually had to choose if I wanted to spend 1320 tomes on that item, if it was a drop from a dungeon there is no question I would have equipped it.

Not for tanks :P You get either the black trashcan, or the black trashcan with gold trim that you can dye.

There's no such thing as a "best looking subligar".

I tend not to immediately equip new gear gained in dungeons mainly because I rarely get new gear in dungeons. Being a reasonable person I never roll Need even if it's something I can, mostly cause I'm not that self-centered. That said, though, if I do get something I weigh the cost of repairs against the benefit of putting it on. Most of the time the cost outweighs the good. If I feel I'm suffering for not wearing it, though, I might, but that's rarely ever been the case.

No offense, but WAT? Why is needing an item you can use being self centered? And repairs are now between 1-200 gil for a item after the patch that made it cheaper. How is that cost ever not worth putting on a better piece of gear?

I think my class quest robe is horrible. DL looks so much better. Doesn't look like I'm wrapped in pvc.

It's self-centered because I'm not the only one in that instance. Rolling Need is like flicking a bird at the rest of the party, at least that's how it feels to me. And yes, repairs are cheaper now but they weren't always. I haven't gotten anything since the reduction of repair costs so the issue hasn't come up to be an issue.

If you're party isn't a group of petulant children, they'll actually be glad for you to get gear that you can use. I always pass on things that can be needed and is needed by fellow party members, and I'm sure many others do too. Don't hesitate to need on stuff in the future, you'll be missing out on gearing up your class :T Only time I can think of where it would be a crappy move is if you need on something you've already outleveled

I think the general etiquette rule for dungeon loots is that if it's an upgrade for the class you're running the dungeon as, then hitting need and equipping the piece is not at all self-centered. Hitting need on stuff that you won't actually use is a different story entirely.

I'm always glad when others get loot. Means things die quicker or I get bigger heals. Also, just because ... ... ... ... ...

How exactly did I hurt my group by skipping DL robe for whm and going for relic body (af2)?

I'm fairly certain DRG can't wear DL whm robe only sch and whm can.

So please explain how I hurt my group again?
