I asked you the reason why having the Thallasocrat or Mezraq made Penta the best weapon skill in parties. As you said:

"For the Thalassocrat/Mezraq user, Penta Thrust was best in parties"

Explain why.

Because if you're using a Thalassocrat/Mezraq, you don't have the relic/mythic, meaning you don't have their weaponskills, which means, at least in pre-abyssea, you're limited to Penta Thrust, Wheeling Thrust, or Skewer for a decent weapon skill as a polearm user. It's not rocket science.

Are you implying that you need a mythic to get drakesbane?

Did you even play FFXI?

No, but getting the Drakesbane, as with any Mythic WS, wasn't just something you'd get like a normal WS. On the other hand, I did say specifically, "Drakesbane was definitely better for all 3, if you could obtain it."

But you said you needed a mythic weapon to get it. Don't backtrack my dear friend.


How were you (as in the masses, not you specifically) stuck with only penta for most situations? Unless you didn't unlock it (which doesn't surprise me at this point). How do you not know about that questline. Maybe you should browse more sources.

Granted, I misspoke, but I haven't backtracked.

Every DRG knew about Drakesbane, it was definitely heralded as the best thing to happen for DRGs since the 2hd update, and no one didn't know about the questline. Point is though it was never something simple to obtain.

You didn't misspeak, you clearly said that without the mythic or relic there was no way to get the weapon skill. You even went far enough to say that "It wasn't rocket science". And yes, it was pretty simple to get. If you spent that much time making a cure breath set, then you should have spent the time unlocking the weapon skill. If you weren't skilled enough to get to floor 100, then it was still do-able. If you cared about the job as much as you imply, you would have had it.

You really are good at blowing things out of proportion and taking what people say out of context too. Are you a politician by any chance?
