It's Time To Wake up

This sums up the community well. You are afraid of change, and I understand this, esp with the ffxi to ffxiv 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0. However, this has to be dealt with.

Says who? You? Please dont speak for me.

Some of the skills you listed a few pages back do come in handy, especially while you are leveling. Here is the catcher though, EVERYONE'S PLAYSTYLE IS DIFFERENT. Period. Who are you to say what shall and shant be? Your complaints of the DK skills in the post I'm snip quoting dont cry bloat to me, they cry revamp.

To the first bolded point -- this sums up your dismal attitude. Sure, some skills at ENDGAME arent very usefull because they are low level abilities. Lets take BLM for example. Yet take those skills away and now you have crap to use while you are leveling.

Also you throw everquest in your first post (along with many other MMO's (aside from diablo but even then) and talk about freedom. What freedom? Choice is an illusion in EVERY MMO. Every single one. The only "choice" you get would maybe be in wow. Even then there is no freedom. Each build has a set of skills that are required to be the best at your spec. Everquest has SO MUCH BLOAT its not even funny. I played that for 10 years, trust me I know.


My only sort of agreement is that the combat system in general is kind of lackluster to the effect that its more obvious in XIV that there is no "freedom".

Blood of the dragon's proc effect could have been handled differently.

whats wrong with botd's proc effect? It adds fun to the balance of geirskogal and keeping the buff on. Personally, I love it.

Two abilities that do the exact same thing is fun?

Could have done one single one, but have a potency bonus when doing it from one side or the other, whichever one procs. Stick an onscreen element that shows up showing which flank to attack from for the bonus. Win.

Oh you mean wheeling thrust and fang and claw, not botd. Yes, I agree that they could have just made one that works for both flank and side.

(just to clarify im not trying to be an ass, the way you described it was off)
