I seem to often read posts, by you, stating that you do not progress your character because you are co-dependant and only level with your boyfriend who isn't even interested in the game so, how can you comment on anything you haven't experienced?

Not only is your situation extremely saddening on a mental level, it completely voids your opinion because it's not an experience you allow yourself to even have, so how on earth do you act like you are in the know enough to comment on it?

Essentially .

If you're going to insult me, do it right. He's my husband of 10 years.

The family that plays together, stays together.

I've been playing since closed beta and my opinion is just as valid as anyone elses.

Besides, I don't insult your linkshell and your utterly retarded signatures.

Codependency is a real illness. You say that it is "saddening on a mental level" but you honestly have no idea. You're about as cool as someone making fun of a guy in a wheelchair. You think it's okay to make fun just because you can't physically see the problem?

The rest of your points may have been completely valid, but low ignorant blows are low and ignorant.

You're not even on my server. You have no knowledge of what I do or don't do.

Oh, right, because I'm not actually doing anything between achievements?

[Betelgeuzah]

Well, you just did.

Whoops?

Whoops?

Noticed that, did ya?

Welp, I do see Rownye around on the server from time to time and she's a generally nice person. And I can also understand how some people might think the combat is broken based on not having a higher level character and coming from the experience that lower levels provide you with.

With that said, it really isn't - I went through and spent maybe an hour or two with each class to get familiarized and the patch was a huge improvement in many ways.

Thanks, Dookie. I saw you in Gridania last night, heading toward the airship dock, I believe.

You did Con 1-20 in 3 months before the normalized EXP gains. and 21-25 after normalized gains which took you 7 months.

(i suspect you took a break. I did too around the same time)

you did Thm 1-5 before EXP revisions and then 6-20 after which took you a total of 10 months.

In fact,it looks like you haven't done much of anything EXP wise since July, which was 5 months ago.

It really looks like you're logging in to check out patches and do seasonal events which is fine. But you still lack the experience (playtime) to really form a well rounded opinion of how game mechanics work now. A lot of people on day 1 of patch 1.20 let out a collective "WTF" when it came to skill revisions. Now after the initial shock people are coming around to it. Thats what happens when you experience the game.

So sit down and play a while. Level a class to 50 then come back and tell us how you feel.

Currently I have Thm & Con @ lvl 40. From my experience playing those classes I feel CC (crowd control) should be issued as a skill much earlier in the game. I've had PTs wipe from a bad pull, or adds which if us mages had some form of CC we would have survived, but sadly CC doesn't come into play until lv 42 thm and 50 Con.

My experience from having 3 lv 50 melee classes is that not having spammable AOE WS, we have to use different tactics to manage mass pulls. And now that combos are our sources of damage dealing you keep fairly active during those fights and makes melee fun to play.

Those opinions I've formed from playing the game. Comparing it to other patches along the way, keeping an open mind to what it means for the future of the game. And how it effects our current gameplay.

So tell me how melee is broken.
