New Shield Swipe - role is reversed?

[SpookyGhost]

I can tell by your comment you're lying about DEX not making a difference. When I used it in dungeons

Ah. My mistake, thought we were talking about raid content/single target bosses. Yeah, block rate is more powerful than block strength in AOE trash pulls. STR won't do much for you there, whereas DEX has some value. We are talking about content that can be tanked easily at a relatively low ilvl, though, so I'm not sure if DEX stacking was worth the investment there.

I tested the update changes and you guys were right and I'm done with this game. It's become a game where all I have to do is plug and play gear on with no thought. Which is on a pay to win scope IMO. Where all you have to do to complete a dungeon is remember a pattern of avoiding attacks just to survive. What's the fun in that. I've never run from a fight or avoided trouble. I'm not gonna start now and especially not in a game. Your character is basically like everyone else's character minus the gear drops.


Thanks for the dream SE but I have to move on to something that will excite my intellect.

Go now. Bye.
You will not be missed.




This thread is just so full of fail

You obviously wanted to meet me by leaving a comment and my intriguing presence.
I know one thing I won't miss your ignorance.

Every time I explain it to you ppl you get it twisted. It's almost like you think you know more than me.

Other people having more knowledge is not an issue. It's a fact of life. Get used to it. And obviously, the people who have been responding to you in here this entire time DO know more than you. Otherwise, you would not of admitted DEX buids are no longer useful and you would've continued playing your DEX build and trying to convince everyone that it was a better build.

I have no issue's with people thinking outside the box or trying new things. But you are extremely coarse and rude in your responses. You basically come in here, make a statement (which everyone came and informed you was wrong) then told THEM that they are wrong and obviously stupid (just to end up finding out YOURSELF that they were right). Now you are telling people that they couldn't possibly be more knowledgeable than you in this game?

If you weren't so rude in how you answer people, there really wouldn't be an issue. Majority of those in here have tried to be very nice in responding to you. There were a few that weren't, yes, but you also fueled that fire...

No I responded that DEX was useful to the tank because it triggered a block and parry but ppl have complained about the idea of DEX being the attack power of DPS and it shouldn't be used for tanks. And that the defense in the tank gear should be used to trigger a block and parry. I feel that it was useful in character design. It would give players more depth in how to gear up for dungeons and raids. They didn't want it to have a duel role. As well as STR not having a duel role either. STR was used to mitigate damage now it doesn't. It's just attack power. They have made this game linear as fuck. That's the problem I have. Most ppl can't think of how to develop a character so they want the developers to do it for them.

If you didn't understand the attributes could be used in different ways than maybe you shouldn't played this game. No, instead ppl complained about what they thought didn't make sense to make the game easier for them.

If you didn't understand let me explain it again.

STR was the attack power for the tank
DEX was the attack power for the DPS

For specific tank actions those two attributes complimented each other. DEX triggered a block or parry and STR mitigated damage when a block or parry occurred. I was not replacing STR with DEX nor was I adding DEX to accessories in place of STR. My understanding of the gear was that it was at its limit of STR so my intent of using DEX was to apply just enough to trigger a block according to the preferred shield and gear combo. The character build was to create a character that actually tanked. I see ppl in dungeons and Raids running away from specific enemy actions instead of gearing up for defense. The defense that they use is already on the gear. So basically everything is laid out and you don't have to do anything but get looted gear and play. They've made materia useless. The only materia worth using is the crafting materia and ppl are complaining about that. Ppl now make materia to sell to players who don't know how easy it is to make materia.

All you ppl are doing is debating my comments. You aren't listening and understanding. Every time I comment you twist to mean something that I'm not saying. That's not being nice. That's being rude. You're ignoring my comments by claiming it's irrelevant.

Because it is irrelevant. It's as simple as that.

I guess it is after you ppl influenced the change in this game... It's only irrelevant for ppl who didn't care about the dynamics of this game and just wanted things to be simple. It's rude to say someone's opinion is irrelevant and it's funny how all of you are teaming up on me to defuse my point ove view. SMH W.A.P.
