Last straw

[AdvancedWind]

this is my prob too, and not cause the job specifics but it's near impossible to get a group unless your part of a linkshell that is running them all the time and that your someone willing to sit in vent all day long for the runs. first day of patch was pretty awesome, did all the nm's but by that time we done it was too late for most and they ran off before ever entering moogle. ....i still not even enter the dang thing to this day. people got there groups and linkshells and anyone else is manned out. it's pretty impossible to make a group.

i was going to come and go patch by patch...like come for .21 for the dungeons but i changed my mind. what's the point if i can't get into the few things going on i haven't done yet right? and people that not staying the whole year stand no chance really ...they need to merge servers or they probably won't see me till 2.0

Good thing they already confirmed server merges, then.

you're in luck http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...787#post492787. Would assume our server is going to be near the top of the list to dissolve after p2p goes live.

You know, if the first fight of Moggle Mog no one went in with Archers but was with a MRD and PGL setup that won, people would probably be complaining about having to level Marauders and pugilist..

Exactly.

We have beaten Moogle multiple times pre and post 1.20a, we had lancers, pugs, and mrds in almost every group. 2 arc is good for rotating binds on the gld but as long as the players know their job well enough (hint: read and understand their abilities and combos) and dont stand in the fire any job can be a great dps. ie. some pug combos spike 1k+ dmg

PGL is the greatest single target damage dealer at the moment from what I can tell. Call it stigma from previous patches, or down right ignorance, but people just don't want to escape their comfort zones.

also one of the hardest classes to play as you need to be a good DD and know elemental weakness of mobs. my pug is 42, ive been doing GC leves. Using flame fist i do x2 damage on bombs and can kill them much faster then my other classes.will be a nice class in the future when hey add more elemental stances and better mp recovery.

Yea, I won't say they are easy to play. There's a lot to manage if you want to maximize your DPS - but the rewards are very much so there. I've been practicing PGL extensively while doing GC leves amassing seals for promotions/items. All that practice has allowed me to figure out a number of tricks to pull off combos with near 100% success. Only times I fail are due to some form of lag.

Paying attention to elemental weaknesses though, it pays off. If there is any mob that is weak to fire, set a PGL off on it in Fire Fists and its AA will strike like a string of weaponskills, and its weaponskills hit like massive single target nukes.

In many ways, PGL sort of feels like the antithesis of ARC.

I try to run my linkshell fair, i don't force anyone to level anything that they don't want to, the people that don't level their classes for the basic abilities that help (Sentinel and Raise) just have to wait until the strat is hammered out. In our large member base only about 14 of us have all 7 classes to 50, and its those people that are there every day willing to fill any role in the party. the people that only have 1 or 2 classes to 50 are only online 1 or 2 days of the week and i try to work around them to form a winning party so everyone is happy. (Can not make everyone happy, it is impossible)
