Melee DPS got easy mode for coil gear.

I hope you realize you can't lot "need" on Maiming unless you're DRG, and you can't lot "need" on Striking unless you're MNK.

The item says "all jobs" but the lot rules are specific to the job.

lol

This thread is ridiculous.

I'm surprised OP didn't complain about how tanks can use THREE of them, and both DL rings.

Scandalous!

But this does highlight a point.

The idea that equipment is class based is kinda stupid. It should be stat based and thats that.

Arguing about who's best dps, then arguing about loot drops.. What's next?

[Darkstarz]

Lets face it, they need to drops, to be competitive, don't hate, incorporate.

well, they said class with the "best dps" should be nerfed, so now class with the best chance of getting item should be nerfed top.

I hope you realize you can't lot "need" on Maiming unless you're DRG, and you can't lot "need" on Striking unless you're MNK.

i hope you realise that brd, caster, healer dont need +str accessory.

p/s: my amount of butthurt is still incomparable to the people butthurted about brd who cried so hard that SE have to please them

Except you can circumvent majority of boss mechanics without losing any dps..

Which was the entire root of the problem.

please elaborate what kind of work do you have to do in coil.

Caduceus: Yeah this one isn't too much work, though I put it on myself to proc tail swipes as much as I can to save an auto-attack or 2 from hitting tank. BRDs have the slime to do but that's not too bad either.
Turn 2: Dodging AoEs, Ballast, transitioning from side to back as ADS swaps from tanks, making sure I time it right to not get cleaved. Timing jumps to maximize damage/not die. Choosing a good time to limit break. Acting as salvage Rot-bearer. Yes, BRD needs to silence and side step for rot every now and then. Not saying this is EASIER but melee have plenty to do too.
Turn 4: No silence, brds have no worries when dealing with knights/soldiers where DRG needs to position to not eat every spin AoE.


So yes, maybe my role doesn't = total party wipe if I mess up, but if I don't put work into moving and timing things exactly on key, I put out shitty dps.

2 tanks compete for loot
2 melee DPS compete for loot
2 caster DPS compete for loot
2 healers compete for loot
1 ranged physical DPS takes all the loot for themselves

OMG NERF BARD LOOT

And neither MNK nor DRG need VIT, INT, DEX or MND accessory.

By your logic, the odds are stacked against melee jobs.
