The Problem with Paladin

[Evaddaragon]

You know when you use an ability it stops you and you either squat like you are pooping or you wave your hand? Pressing both divine veil and outmanuever right as chimera is readying a WS will make you eat it.

It's the same thing people complained about on ifrit when they die to cracks, can't move out of it if you are stuck in the animation of an ability.

I don't quite encounter that problem. >.> Guess I, like Pepper said, have a better sense of timing.

Also, can't two abilities be put in a single macro ? Wouldn't that solve your problem ?

Also, is Chimera's WS considered physical, or magical ? Since my LS tanks Chimera with WARs right now, I haven't bothered to check it out. If it's physical, like, you know, a WEAPON skill would suggest (otherwise it would be a magic skill ^^), chances are the new and improved Divine Veil will take care of it in the first place. Once again, testing is in order I'd say. ^^

When I'm doing speed runs I don't like sitting on TP or abilities I can use just to avoid an attack that can be healed up, but is just wasted mp and enmity for the healer, just seems like a bad game engine compared to WoW where you can move and kite things while using abilities, at least to me.

Seeing as you can't parry any of the WS with foresight, I think it's safe to assume all magical. Also lots of mobs have magic/elemental based weaponskills.

I wouldn't go that far. Foresight only increases parry rate, and not even as much as Featherfoot increases evasion, seeing as the former says "increases" and the latter says "greatly increases". Still, it is entirely possible that they're magical and Divine Veil won't help you. In which case, since we seem to like to stack BLMs, wouldn't Thundara's stun effect take care of that ?

I'd be willing to bet 5m lion is fire, ram is ice, dragon is thunder, chaotic is dark or whatever scourge was and god help you if make it use posion tail.
