Gladiator lvl 80 challenge

[Jettinson]

Wow you made me remember that I have never met people like you in my runs and I am so relieved.

The thing that has always tickled me about this 'challenge' is that it isn't a challenge at all; There's 0 prestige or actual difficulty in achieving this, it's just a minor inconvenience that makes everything you do take longer, primarily at other peoples expense.

A 'challenge' is supposed to be just that, challenging. The only actual challenge involved in a job-stoneless run of the game is trying not to get kicked from every DF party you join lmao. Even if you try to brag about accomplishing this, 99% of the people that play this game will just make fun of you, as evidenced by this thread.

started with the first tank job in arr with Gladiator it was a fun ride then moved on to pld learned the rotations and did all the job quests capped off job and moved on to next tank before long all were done and i got a feet of each job and its actions my favorite being gunbreaker.

What you did was not a "challenge," it was griefing. You accomplished nothing, and instead simply showed up demanding that everyone you party with pick up the slack for you instead. Again, this is not a "challenge." There is no skill whatsoever involved on your end.. None.

The people who develop ffxiv leave way too much wiggle room for the community expecting them to be decent humans.

I was with you on this challenge, right up until I read the part where you mentioned doing this in Duty Finder dungeons. If you want to challenge yourself by forgoing your Paladin quests and sticking to Gladiator to 80, more power to you, but springing this on unsuspecting party members to essentially carry you through it all isn't a challenge, it's just laziness. It takes away all sense of accomplishment this could have had doing this on your own.

I don't doubt dungeons are still 'do-able' as long as you're wearing level appropriate gear and observing mechanics, but 'can I do this' and 'should I do this' are 2 entirely separate questions.

And if you wanted to see if you could still do the dungeons, you should have enlisted the aid of willing participants to join you on this journey rather than random strangers who had no say in this.

whats gonna happen?

Had a gladiator in dzemael darkhold. It was an excruciating time. Healer and dps did most of the work, they were just a bad dps. And then the joy of finding the perfect spot to stand under the last boss so it would just spin and cleave anyone. I didn't even know it was possible to get a boss to just spin non stop.




On a side note isn't this the kind of thing you do with friends for fun and not inflict on randoms?

[Nihility]

so your big challenge was to put undue stress on your healers and team mates for no other reason than to feel like your somehow being anything other than a burden?
Literally the worst kind of player

Part of me wishes they’d just lock lv30+ gears to job stone classes. That way, other than severely handicapping themselves, they’d also not be able to meet the ilv requirement for higher contents.

They do just this to all relic weapons (I.e lngrimm is unequippable by a CNJ) surely it’d be possible to do the same for every other pieces, is it not?

(Nah who knows lol. No expectation.)
