Letter to all bards about Mages Ballad

[Leiron]

Why does the OP have to be labeled as a bad tank?
You don't know if he is or isn't.
Hell he could be perfect at utilizing his CD's and maintaining his agro for all you know.

You're all making massive assumptions based on the fact that he dislikes the way some players behave.
So you're literally crucifying him just for having an opinion you don't like.

Get out of here with that nonsense, its not necessary nor justified.

[AvonRekaes]

I said nothing about his ability to perform the function. He's a jerk that blames everyone around him and posts troll threads to this forum. He's a bad <whatever>.

[Zuri]

Who the hell uses BRD anymore? Double blm or double whm- 1 as pure holy spamming. Brd for wp is so 3 weeks ago.

[Speck]

Regardless of whether everyone is playing correctly or not, the OP seems to be one of these players that DF a WP and rage quits when everyone isn't perfect. If you want a perfect party form your own beforehand.

Consider that people using DF for dungeon instances are often learning a new class. If I'm playing on my main class I form a FC party. When I'm practicing a new class - DF. We can all read guides and 'here's the rotation' posts but until you do it a few times it won't be perfect. And don't try to tell me that it's realistic to learn the end game rotations while fate grinding the class to 50.

Try teaching a bit if you get in this situation. And 'USE MAGE BALLAD YOU NOOB' is not a valid way of teaching anyone. I go out of my way to help and make other players comfortable when using DF. Too many people seem to take out way too much aggression in a game that's supposed to be enjoyable.

Dear OP,

There are a lot of tanks for WP Speedruns who don't have these issues. You just labeled yourself as a bad.

Sincerely,
Everyone.

I'll co sign this.

Grailer, first it's Dragoons, now it's Bards. Maybe you should start a FC of your own so you can craft the perfect speedrun static party for WP. Seems to be giving you a lot of trouble.

Y'know. Cause you're a bad tank that blames everyone else for your inadequacies.

Don't be mad because you will get picked 2nd over a BRD for WP speed runs everytime.

And BRD shouldn't be mad when I /leave because they don't use MP song when everyone is low on mp .

Would you leave if I stopped using Flash ?

[AvonRekaes]

Check my level, I can't even do WP yet. I literally could not care about being "picked last", because I literally cannot be picked for it at all. I just think you're a bad person that does not communicate with parties and then blames them for not reading your mind.

For instance, instead of coming on these forums to post your <sarcasm>delightful little letter</sarcasm>, you could have actually taken the time to type to the bard in your party something encouraging and educating. Like:

"Hey, bard-dude, great job on that last fight. If I may make a suggestion, if you use Mage Ballad between pulls, we won't have to wait for my MP to fill up between fights and we can pick up our pace. Sound good? "

But no, you just come on here like a huge douche and complain about other people not doing what you want. And if you're worried about time, you could even have that entire helpful shpiel bound to a macro button!

Would you leave if I stopped using Flash ?

No. I'd say "Hey, Grailer, what's up with not using flash? Did your keybindings get messed up that last fight or something?".

Knowing you, though, you'd probably just instantly /leave when someone questioned your amazing prowess, or respond back in some passive aggressive or outright insulting manner (like "stfu why are you even a drg, drg sucks noob"), in which case, then I'd leave.

Bards only purpose is to regen MP for WHM and BLM and PLD .

If they don't do that then might as well take DRG since they have better AOE dps than BRD .

If not doing Foe w/ BLM then yeah, might as well bring another DPS, because if they aren't singing, they probably are only doing Single Target DPS as well >.>;

Bards only purpose is to regen MP

:\ oh no you didn't ...lol.
Ohh I see why the hate flows for you friend...good luck.

P.S. BLMs dont need MP from anyone as we regen our own. I haven't ever needed extra MP anyways and I have done WP a few times.

[BobbinT]

hmmm....

OP, you do realize PLD has their own way to refresh MP right? We're not really that defenseless that we require ballads. It helps though, but not necessarily needed.

Learn your rotation better, or use WAR for easier enmity management without worrying your mp. lol

Here's me playing WP for god knows how many times I wasted there, virtually already playing all jobs there. Have to admit, I still have bigger issue playing healer jobs. But that's another story. lol
