Learning Experiences

[Merryl]

I did read the whole post, it's just unclear why you said it's irrelevant for those two classes. One can do that just as well for DPS.

That's true. It works for all of them. I know you just took it personal. The higher level gear is more important for endgame coil and ex primals.

Don't let the experienced and well equipped players ruin your experience. They ALL died to Garuda and Titan when they met them first. They have only forgotten about it. I remember that the music in Titan (Story Mode) stressed me so much because I had to look out for many things for the 1st time that I had to turn it off during the Fight. Sadly Level 50 (with Item Level > 50) players are only using these dungeons to get their tomes for Endgame gear quickly. Patience is not their highest priority. Just learn with your very own speed, grow a thick skin and sourround you with players who are in the same or similiar boat as you are. The Game makes lots of Fun, just forget about the high level pricks you will meet on your way. If a player wants you to teach something, listen and try it out but if he is only bitching without giving advice, move on.

If a player's going to brag about the iLvl of their gear in a sub 50 dungeon, they are actually an idiot. The item level sync actually pushes their gear down to roughly similar stats to that of a white item one level below the cap - regardless of how good it is. For an example for Garuda, if you had green iLvl 44 gear (from Dzemael) or Aetherial iLvl 45/6 gear, you would likely actually be better geared than someone in i90 gear. The only reason it seems they have an advantage is due to the stat points from levelling not getting synced down, and that they're still decked out in item level appropriate gear in every slot one way or another, whereas someone who's newly levelling is likely carrying a few slots that are a few levels under.

That aside, if he's running out of MP in Garuda Normal, he's doing something horribly wrong. If you're a decent healer you can even be the one bursting down the feathers with the MP-devouring Holy, and you can still have the MP to heal the battle to completion - I say that from experience.

You will occasionally run into jerks in this game. Just remember that they are the rarity, not the common. You'll remember them because they stand out, but they only stood out because you had no problem with the other 3 players in all the other content you've done.

Also, congratulations on clearing Garuda!

If its not too late, you can look for me in game ^_^, we can help figure out end game content together because those are coming up for me as well.

and don't worry about those ppl, there are still some really good people out there that are experienced players and willing to lend a helping hand, I can probably get us a good party going to tackle on end game content!

This game is full of great people who will be glad to help you and walk you through stuff (if you are willing to listen) Then there are about 10% of the people who are elitist and have a iLVL over 9000!!!!! and you need to bow to them.
Let them blow steam and just do what I do. Say random and stupid stuff to them that makes no sense. If they are mad you are not decked out in level 50 gear while in the lvl 45 trial,you let them know you have an uncle who once punched the president in the right knee. Then sit back and watch them rage because you can care less about him.

When all else fails please refer to my sig that I have used for a very very long time.

I think the point was that high level gear is easier to get with the second and later jobs. So they could have fate ground whm to 50 and then equipped all of their scholar gear leaving them with a high ilvl but no experience.

And yes, that can apply to any class.
