Pentamelded accessories were available the day they came out if you were properly prepared for them to (it wasn't really a mystery to predict when they would come out). The gil required obtain them can be easily made even without being a gil buyer or top shelf crafter. However if all you do is go online to do some CT-WoD, 4 mans, and then play A Chat Room Reborn, I can see how you could be led to this train of thought. If you'd like, I can direct you to some guides that show you how to make gil with minimal effort.

Lol, intersting, and smugly put interpetation. I am well aware of how to make gil. I may not have any crafting on this character, but it is not my only character. Still, 10-15 million is not a quick task. And as you pointied out so nicely, they were indeed avalible the first day they were available, admittedly costing a minimum of five million each on my server. So by the time you had them, and penta melded first day, unless you crafted them yourself , you were looking at around 35+ million. Hardly easy for anyone.

That aside, it would appear that you've used some incorrect words in this post. Allow me to explain to you what a narrow minded person actually is.

Narrow mindedness is the inability to listen to or tolerate other points of view. A narrow mind refuses to accept that ideas other than their own exist. Now, does this describe me?

Absolutely not.

In the course of these posts, I have logically explained the differences between two playstyles of Tanking: the kind that focuses on Tanking before Damage and the kind that focuses on Damage before Tanking. I have acknowledged that both exist. I have acknowledged that both are capable of being successful. And, while I dislike the Barbarian playstyle I have described, I tolerate its existence. I suppose the last straw here is that I intend to go into Heavensward remaining a Tank even though it seems pretty clear that people like you won: SE appears to be giving Tanks significantly more damage potential in the expansion. All I can hope is that they tweak stats in such a way that we can pursue a balanced approach between damage and mitigation without crafted gear being explicitly necessary to do so.

This is quite the opposite of a narrow mind. It is no surprise that you used it incorrectly, though. You are the one running around acting like the Barbarian is the only kind of "Tank" that anyone should be. In attempting to insult me, you have actually described yourself. But that's okay. We're playing an MMO that allows for countless ways to emerge victorious over any encounter.

With that, I shall bid this discussion adieu before I get too pissed off at all of these people who can't understand words and sentences and keep putting things in my mouth that I never even remotely suggested. Before I sign off, though... a couple of more civilized responses.

I call such healers "Clerics". It's what the stance is called, after all.

By "immediately" available, I mean that they're either in your inventory right now or you have the resources available to put them together right now.

I will go ahead and say more stupid things in a attempt to try and cover my tracks and look good, but ultimately I know I am looking bad right now due to everyone calling me out.

FTFY and later. ;3 have fun being narrow minded.

Except we're still a tank by proper definition, so...it's not really your call.

Oh my! Wait till DRK is out!
