What should I infuse my blm with?

[Dyvid]

Well don't do Piety anyway, because from 4.0 it's a healer only secondary stat. Because tanks, dps and healers will all have a secondary stat unique to their role you probably won't even be able to meld it.

From what the maths people have been figuring out with regards to rotations, it's unfortunate since on a normal rotation you'll have to be at 100% MP when you cast Fire 3 in order to get 6 F4 in per rotation, which may mean waiting on mana ticks, or even just sticking with 5 F4 instead.

I would say ACC might be a useful meld but it's hard to say until we see 4.0 patch notes.

Yeah that is apparently the largest change, and given the way they described it...

It may have a larger chunk of play in Stormblood.

It sounded like there's the new "decisive blow" on top of a normal critical hit, and that is determined by accuracy or what replaces accuracy.

I caught something about them both being possible in one strike so you could get both of them at once. It would make Crit and whatever replaces Accuracy key gear.

So I do wonder how that will play into things.

Well here's my character...

You decide....

In fact I sped through Alexander just in the normal Queue... started on Savage for kicks...

I thought it was easy... I pretty much raid Void Ark Series daily...

And I'm already at 350 Coms...and only playing a DPS... not a tank or healer... I already know these guys are full of crap. I recently changed my gear a bit for BLM but previously the stats I gave are what I can swap gear for.

I have been cutting though the content like its butter. I've probably been in dungeons with half these guys already and kicked the crap out of their numbers.

Almost nothing these jokers claimed ever turned out to the true... and it torques them off to no end...

None of that is considered actual difficult end-game.

How far into Alexander Savage have you gone?

Do we need a thread just for Silverquick to argue about SMN? It feels like any thread could suddenly be about SMN if you say the right (or wrong) things.

Honestly, most of this thread, which was focused on BLM melds, is now about SMN. This thread could've been resolved in ~30 posts top but somehow SMN became a part of it.

Again.

Dude.... seriously enough of this farce.

If you really want to run Savage with me just say so.. I have them all unlocked pick one, send me a PM we'll get a crew together sometime and go through it.

I have no idea what you guys see in Alexander anyway.

Yeah sorry about that,

I didn't think I would get jumped while asking BLMs about how they do their gear... by other SMNs about SMN.

What can I say? They're obsessed with me.

You've never done anything past 11s, and even now we have ECHO.
You have no logs with your name on them.

It'd be fine if you melded piety and then played it without preaching it, but you preaching melding piety as a SMN, and actually preaching that it's the best is beyond absurd.
If you have no idea of what you're talking about, keep it to yourself.

And....My offer stands pal.....

Either way... apparently you can't tell the BLMs are getting cheezed off at this little farce and your attempted thread hijack... so take it to PMs.

As for... will I ever stop... NO... that is your direct answer.

I'm just asking you to keep it to yourself so you don't spread your badness to new players.

Actually, the "getting jumped" in this thread was done by you and not to you, and after that tone was set things went downhill very quickly. Being disagreed with does not equate to being attacked or jumped on. People are allowed to disagree, especially when they have a reasoned argument to support why. The paraphrased progress of the conversation went:

Silverquick: "Piety is a stat I put on my Summoner because I can get an extra Ruin 3 and never run out of mp."
Neela: "I don't know why you would say that. Using SPS instead you can put an extra buffed Ruin 3 in during DWT while getting the extra DoT/pet damage, and still never run out of mana with good aetherflow management. Please don't spread bad advice about piety being a better stat than sps/crit." [Editor's note: She actually did use the word please, so I'm not implying tone here.]
Silverquick: <out of place ad hominem attacks on Neela's character while propping up your self-declared excellence instead of providing support to your claim>

You know... I just realized what that reminds me of. Replace "Silverquick" with "Trump", and "Neela" with "The Media" and it's the same pattern of behaviour.

Anywho, the BLM question has long since been answered multiple times, so hopefully this thread can be locked. But until then... /popcorn.
