DPS at End Game

[ZeroRains]

Tanking in this game is a joke. The fact that the majority fail at it is really scary imo.

My pld is only ilvl 76 but I regular pull things off of tanks ilvl85+. Why? Apparently a three move combo is to hard for most plds.

If your only doing your 3 move combo your doing it wrong

Most of the time, most fights, outside of Scorn and Spirits, that's realy all you do except cooldown when needed. And if you don't need Scorn for multiple mobs, and Spirits for Silence, you throw those in. That's really all it is. And as he said, I can pull of better geared tanks because I know what i'm doing.

lol... I remember one day the other tank would steal my aggro many times while I Stoneskin myself for the Diffractive Laser on Ultima... crazy annoying.

Its more than the RoH spam 1 button combo i had a PLD doing in Copperbell last night.

Brainless Paladins will steal aggro off a Warrior keeping both Storms up, due to the Storm combo not having an Enmity multiplier beyond Damage/Defiance. It's easily enough to hold hate over a DD or a Healer, but a Paladin determined to take hate will take hate.
Its why i like to let Paladins maintank on my Warrior, i can keep debuffs rolling and not even come close to ripping hate, but i can take it in a hurry if i want it. I like to sit at number 2 on the hate meter just in case. The Main tank should not have to fight for his hate over the Off Tank, and the Off Tank should stop being bad.

The other person wrote can, you did not. Anyway, it's not related to the main point of the thread which is which DPS to use. I'm guilty of this sidetracking, too.

I love playing as drg, but there are so many bad ones... so many. You have to fight the stigma of loldrg in party finder. To be totally fair though, I see a ton of failure bards and monks too... The most I've seen in any party is one of either melee and one bard... so as the others have said, pick your favorite~

But yeah, this is pretty much all there is to it. Play what you like. If you're good, people will find you. That's how I found my coil static, they found me while I was doing Titan runs for like my 7th or 8th relic. I personally play everything because I enjoy all the classes/jobs.

DRG is great fun, the stigma of loldrg only exists because it is easy to spot a bad one, much like spotting a bad Monk. bad BLMs are difficult to spot without carefully watching cast bars >_<

You can just watch the ratio of fireballs vs big explosions. The amount of Black Mages who just spam Fire III/Firaga are pretty surprising. Do people ever read their Traits list?

And it's not loldrg, it's lolcatboy

Eh, i turned off everyone else's animations so i can see the boss/myself

Ive corrected more than one BLM who used a Fire III/Blizzard III spam rotation lol, It's just easier to spot the bad in some classes than others.

If you pull mobs off of tanks that are better geared at any time except the portions of fights which necessitate tank swaps... I would very much say you don't know what you're doing.
