Honest question: If every player/class/job is equal,who is unique? (Gameplay topic)

[erish]

Lol@ BLU/ToAU in general.

King Ranperre's Tomb Monk burns were where it was at before all that new fangled bird camp business and ToAU easy mode xp/merits.

:>

This person knows the truth!

Best healer for along time up until really aby was rdm,
Blm was terrible for longest time people just didnt realise it because they were so caught up in skillchains.
Blu was horrible for any kind of group event although admitly it has seen a come back over the years in low man stuffs.
Nin having the ultimate evasion?! u wot m8?! anyone with a decently geared thf says otherwise.

Balance in ff11 is a joke, always has been and always will be no point in trying to talk about that further.

Saying that OP i see the argument your trying to make and i get it, its just a shame you went off on some stupid insults and instead try to argue/explain your points more clearly.

Blm was terrible for longest time people just didnt realise it because they were so caught up in skillchains. Black Mage were essential for endgame. Sleep/Nukes in Dynamis and low-manning Apollyon.

Blu was horrible for any kind of group event although admitly it has seen a come back over the years in low man stuffs. I used to be given my own light Skillchain duty on Byakko. Main SC/MB would go off, then I would Self-SC light for a second wave of MBs. After they were done, the main SC pair would have their TP back.

Nin having the ultimate evasion?! u wot m8?! anyone with a decently geared thf says otherwise. Yeah, Ninja evasion was good and it had better shadows, but Thief was better. I got my Joyeuse after taking Charby from a NIN + BRD duo after they wiped while Charby still had 80-85% hp left. Thief + Red Mage the rest of the way.

Balance in ff11 is a joke, always has been and always will be no point in trying to talk about that further. Agreed, in that some jobs were much more popular for certain content. But I also think every job (with maybe the exception of PUP [though solo'ing Diabolos comes to mind]) had a niche somewhere in the game.

My $0.02, FWIW

Missing the most important healing spell HASTE FTW!

In dynamis we always used BRDS to sleep since well there generally better and most of them were /nin because there pulling anyway. In sea we had rdm/whm sleep because well most of it was super easy to sleep. I cant speak for your shell but by the time blu was released SC was pretty much dead, throwing melee at it and zerging was the norm for most shells.

Yeah id say at least at some point in the game every job has had a niche in the game at some point but i much prefer the wow style of design in regards to balance of jobs ie "Bring the player not the job" that we now see to the im sitting in jeuno for hours with my flag up, please god someone invite me anyone i just want to level...

Quick edit: really hate people who say aby ruined the game, if you actually played during this time you would have seen it bought more people back to the game than ever before it was a great time to play the game its a shame so many people who got stuck on low level rubbish spout this.
