"I play the way I want" -Randomperson

[Kimikryo]

So I ran AK today as High Duty roulette.

I thought, Oh Yiss, this will be fast, no Pharos or Hauke HM.

So it goes on and on, and the mobs die REALLY slow. First I thought it might be because of the obviously new to AK BLM in full AF and no Relic yet, but I was wrong. It was the other BLM with full Mytho gear and Relic (no zenith but thats not the point)

After the first few pulls, the whm asks the blm why he does what he is doing, meaning a question that can be reformed to "why aren't you using your skills in a way to maximize your damage output and mana regeneration"

That blm got hyper defensive, the more the dungeon progressed the lower got his damage output.

The whm explained the "best" rotation to which the guy said "I play the way I want"
And would not take any friendly advice given, going so far that he started insulting and trying to wipe us by messing with mobs.

The other BLM, tried to do his best, to improve himself, it was his very first level 50 dungeon (he said so himself) and asked several times if he does it right and was friendly.

--------

Now, while I too play the way I want, I don't ignore advises that make the game progression better.
I don't bark into someones face if he reminds me to do something or wants to help me to improve the role I am playing. Even if someone is rude with his explanations, I keep my cool and if it isn't utter goobbue crap I also will listen to these fellows.

Play all the way you want.
But if your play style just is a hindrance to everyone because you don't use that skill because you "don't like blizzard" or think "thunder is bad" or "shield oath is for noobs" , you should consider thinking over if you really want to play that class you are playing when doing it with random strangers.

Others too want to enjoy the game you know?

In a good game, he would be able to play the way he wants, without being a hindrance.

It's called single player :P

Who wants to cast Fire 1 when you get all the shines from Flare and Freeze? Throw in the leet aetherial manipulation to blizzard 2 combo!

I can't think of a MMO where someone can decide to be an ice mage and only cast blizzard and not be a hinderance...

They should reconsider the MMO genre if they just act as a hindrance purposely playing that way instead of being new or uninformed

RO but he'll be a hindrance to those trying to damage him/her in pvp.

Mind explaining briefly what the BLM was doing wrong and what he should have been doing instead? I'm leveling BLM right now and maybe it can prevent me from being that guy making the noob mistakes next time.

Heres my opinion on that... You should stop using programs not designed into the game and you wouldnt know how low his dps is, there goes your entire issue with him. You elitists need to kick rocks

you don't need a 3rd party program to see if a BLM is casting an "unorthodox" Rotation
