Least played job?

Love how this thread got de-railed by whiny scholars, lol

But you can do it on top of the other things you can do as a scholar.... so where is it a bad thing to do?

Well he's actually right, it's a semi waste of MP to precast it for stomps. For some other things yeah, but stomps? Better to get the heal portion as well.

Your response is fine, as a personal opinion, when you add "most of us" you just overstep your bounds. Stop talking for other people, it will make the forums a much better place.

Dragging the thread back on track, I don't see many dragoons and summoners, usually a lot of bards blm and monks.

Just the fact that you're flaming him makes it mostly correct. Plus getting the 400 heal + 400 Shield out of your Succor by timing it to land after the first stomp hits is superior to precasting it just for the 400 shield.

I love that you're trying to troll someone for their opinion based of your misinterpretation of what they said. If anyone looks "retarded" it's you for being such a transparent troll.

I think the issue is people interpreting minor as bad, insignificant as useless and good as insufficient compared to better. However speaking in a simplified terms does not let one to understand the subject.
Just to end the debate i would like to repeat: scholar utility is much bigger than using galvanize shields - don't stop your learning on it, only this does not make you a good scholar.

/ontopic

You can get a good idea in game by typing /sea all SCH (for example) into the chat box and seeing what comes up.

For me I'd say mnk is lowest followed by SCH, then smn, then DRG, war, then the rest are usually capping 200+.

Weirdly enough tanks seem relatively well populated I guess they just don't like doing duty finder.

Maybe it's just me, but when doing my duty roulettes, I hardly ever see Monk these days. I mean, not that I mind, because any Fistfighter set drops are mine for the taking, but it's still a little depressing that my favorite job has so little representation. D:

Even when I do see mnks, they're always the kind that never move, gimping their damage :/ Or I get the ones that only spam their first 3 skills, instead of adding their DoTs and stuff into it >.> Or those mnks who never switch stances, even if the situation changes. Know what? While I'm at it, so many lazy people in XIV lol (Not everyone, just saying a large portion who don't maximize their damage from position/read what a skill does)

1.So wait a minute, you're pulling the double standard on me by accusing me of "misinterpreting" his post, when he clearly misinterpreted the post before his. Or am I mistaken in assuming that people know how to play and equate pre-casting to timing with the beginning of an ability. Looks like everybody on this page is guilty of "misinterpreting".

2.And again Ix, what is up with you assuming that succor is the only thing we think is in the scholar utility pool, where did we say that, because I don't think ANY of us even hinted at that.

1. I do not consider someone bad or good by the way they do things - only by results they get in the end. I will not consider someone good if they do some commonly accepted things, neither i will consider someone bad for not doing them. Experienced players follow the tactic of the "minimal effort" - they will not do something unless it is absolutely necessary for the win. I hope my point is understandable.

2. I did not say or mean that, it was not meant for advanced players but beginners.

since 2.2 > mnk

the most played: brd / blm.

That is quite possibly the worst statement in the history of statements. Things become commonly accepted things for a reason, others don't, also for good reasons.

And people don't do or not do things "unless absolutely necessary", there's varying degrees of "what works best" without having to do or not do any particular thing in a particular circumstance.

Ahaha agreed. SCH is currently the most diversified job in the entire game. No idea what all the drama is about.
