DRG should have a special quest called "how to use heavy thrust"

[Lesen]

I'm personally still pretty new to this game (main lv 49 DRG), and I have no idea why someone wouldn't use HT as a DRG... I always thought anything to boost your damage up as a DPS was a good thing. Btw, I had no idea getting cross-skills from pugilist was good for DRG, so thanks for the info, I'll get to level it as soon as I can log into the game.

To clarify I totally agree with the OP. I don't see a reason not to keep HT up and if the person didn't want to do it after being asked to in a basically corteous way, then I think it is perfectly reasonable to vote kick them. I just don't like it when people directly insult you or get bitchy for playing the game wrong, instead of first just telling you what you're doing wrong so that you can correct it. I will ALWAYS do exactly what the more experienced players tell me to in a dungeon, because I assume they know better than me, but it can be pretty frustrating when they say it in a directly offensive way.

I agree, it's all about how you say what you want to get across and that's what most people fail to realize when communicating with other people.
Other people are not stupid, they're not idiots, they're people like you and I with brains.

If you come off as an a** but then you don't think you came off as an a**, it doesn't matter; you most likely sounded like an a**.
For the DRG issue, there's absolutely no reason to not have the buff on unless you're maneuvering through mechanics and wish to avoid being murdered by an aoe or the likes.

Am I going to tell someone to keep it on? No, I'm not their mother.
Now on the elitist thing...uh well...asking people to play the right way isn't elitist as Square Enix put things a certain way for a reason...people should stop being lazy.

I was in Antitower this morning with a WHM BRD and MNK that took an entire 55 min.

After killing the frog, I realized how slow it took to kill. The MNK couldnt dode aoes, and the bard was doing sub par DPS, (I could tell because nobody was keeping up in hate with me while I'm tanking in Sword Oath) but the WHM was great. I don't care if a healer is not DPSing in any of my DF parties because they are still keeping us alive and going through the dungeon still.

Not knowing about your job and trying to learn is one thing, because this iLVL 199 MNK had no idea how to put up stacks of Greased Lightning. So I stop tell her a few good rotations and to be a good MNK, they must stay up at all times. She struggles, (greatly) but I am flattered when someone is actually trying to learn or at least takes advice with a grain of salt. Was still the most frustrating, but endearing at the same time.
