    Anything else Scare or are you just about done being a troll?

    Weren't you the one talking about your Turn 8 static not too long ago? Listing what I've been doing and have done isn't bragging, me saying I've used more classes in end-game is, further invalidating how you think you can lecture people on classes you've barely touched.

    Decent - Of or conforming to acceptable or satisfactory standards
    Great - Of ability or quality considerably above normal or average

    If you really think those are so vastly different than I don't understand how they could both be a descriptive of quality of an object or otherwise and both be used.

    I was unaware that being 'good enough' was the same as being above average.

    I must be literate.

    Without lowering this to an argument of semantics, anyone that speaks English wouldn't need to doubt the veracity of the two words being used in a simple fashion unless they wanted to make an argument over it in the first place.

    No. You need to understand this.

    Alexander the Great was not named that because he was decent. The Great Wall of China is not named as such because it was 'adequate.' They were named as such because they were exceptional, above the normal, and far beyond 'decent.'

    This isn't semantics. This is either you backpedaling from a mistake, or displaying a fundamental misunderstanding of basic English vocabulary, both as a dictionary example and as it is commonly used in normal speech.

    A large vocabulary is one of my strong-suits, because a word might not fit it's literal Encyclopedia Britannica usage does not mean I can't easily use both words in a similar context. Exceptional, Fantastic, Superb, Phenomenal. Any of those could be supplemented for "Great". Because Decent might have a different listed description does not mean they aren't still similar in some facets.

    "Oh hey did you go see that new movie? I thought it was pretty great."
    "Ehh, it was decent I suppose."

    So Dude A thinks it was Great, Dude B said it was only decent. Therefore someone doesn't know how to use rudimentary English because two words weren't identical to the point that you can't make a distinction between them. That about right?

    @Madoka, with all the attitude and cursing and shouting you were doing to the OP in the other large thread in the DPS section, I wouldn't be inclined to believe you on anything except for the fact that your attitude is probably worse than mine.
    Example:

You'd be a blm with ifrit popping up to shit out the fire 3. XIV's summoner is actually the first time where they tried something besides "X + bahamut access" in any FF title
    An SMNs working the way they used do only works with the ATB system anyway, look at bravely default. Summoner is probably the worst class in the game despite being the strongest a summoner has ever been.

    Logical points of unique class LBs, or discussing what future pet roles will be is fine. Complaining about SMN and asking for a complete class revamp from the ground up is retarded and would piss off far more players than you realize AND would serve no goddamn purpose. Who gives a shit if we're a WoW warlock with a green turret, we're still a more fun class than nearly every other dps in the game and strong as hell to boot."
    Rage much?

    (Hit my posting limit for the day, I'm out. Bombast, baby, you know Hunt, since I know have a pet name now I guess, is not even on the same page as "Deficient". Y u do dis 2 me?")
