Do NOT make the same mistake as FFXI.

[Shai]

The all time greatest FF11 mistake:

"STOP ATTACKING, YOU'RE FEEDING THE MOB TOO MUCH TP!"

^ - this is the one true mistake that will cause me to seriously not play. I tolerate it enough in FF11, and won't endure that torture again. As long as the game doesn't turn into "stand around and wait" then i'll be good.

But you're 100% cool with the fact that is how CON are expected to play now?
I mean you didn't say you are, I'm asking if you are.

Lots of people seem to think it's "no big deal" that I spend 1/3 of the fight or more standing around waiting while other people do shit. That it's a warranted and expected aspect of being a mage - trust me when I tell you, it's just as much "not fun" as that stop feeding it TP shit. I was there in XI with you, man. (Not literally).

Well said, both of you. Really I hadn't thought about the 'stand around and wait for the tank to get hate back' like in XI. Warriors doing too much damage and having to stop swinging their axe, black mages being limited to one or two spells per fight, the horror.
