Ok i will take Ifrit as an Exemple. For me gear doesnt matter at all. As long as the players KNOW his job everything should go fine.

For Ifrit in /shout i tend to give a 2 run of practice. If its a wipped its not because of the gear but because pepeol simply dont know where to stand and what to do. Everything in this game is pretty much EZ and its not a matter of what your gear are but if pepeol know what they have to do and do it right. Whats buggin me more instead of a guy with no ring or dated ring..is a guy who run into the whm with or run the path of other players with the crack...so after 2 wiped im out of the PT. Im not going to waste a full night with pepeol who doesnt know how to stand in Ifrit.
