Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings? Here's a tissue.
Wait, I thought your argument was that I was the elitist here? The irony here is almost chuckle worthy.Feel free to check my achievements, I've done all the content in the game except for Ifrit Extreme (Have you even attempted this yet?)
It's astonishing how someone can complete content yet still not understand the most basic mechanics of the game, isn't it?
I called you out for having an idiotic argument (your claim that accuracy is a poor tanking stat) and suddenly I'm the unintelligent one? I'm gonna quote your own words here:After some valid arguments from some of the intelligent members of the Paladin community I can see the strength of Accuracy is much higher than I'd previously thought it. However, Nowhere did I say accuracy was a BAD thing.
"Instead we got Accuracy. The tanking class. Got Accuracy." - Some Idio--- oh wait, this is you I'm quoting.
The statement here makes it very clear that you consider accuracy to be an entirely unsuitable stat for the purposes of tanking. You even separated it from the rest of your post for emphasis. Again, you clearly consider Accuracy to be a bad thing (which, again, points to your ignorance). So, no, you're contradicting yourself again in an attempt to not look stupid for saying something stupid.
Please specify where the hell I mentioned the Paladin's lodestone description, at all, in either of my posts? Claiming my argument is flawed does not make it so, particularly when you immediately after bring in something which I did not mention at all.Your argument is incredibly flawed and lacks to even acknowledge what the Paladin Lodestone description is.
Again, your incoherent rambling does not qualify as an argument. It does not matter what the phrase "fiercest fighter" sounds like to you. The Warrior is STATED to have the highest HP value in the game, as well as to "thrive on the enmity of it's foes". It is directly and clearly stated in the Warrior class description that the Warrior uses enmity as a tool to perform it's job, as well as boasting the highest HP (gee, I wonder what role in the game would need tons of HP and enmity?). Your pedantic interpretations are worthless here: your claim that the Warrior is a "damage dealer first, tank second" are entirely wrong, and (surprise) laughably misinformed."The paladin job sacrifices maximum HP, but this is compensated by way of greatly enhanced defense as well as the ability to cast healing magic. Valiant by nature, a paladin can shield his comrades from blows, making him the unyielding rock upon which a party’s defense is built."
Being the FIERCEST FIGHTER on the field sounds quite a bit like damage dealing. Being an Unyielding rock upon which a party's defense is built sounds quite a bit like tanking.
First off, to reiterate (since it's easy to forget why I consider this topic a waste of space in the first place), accuracy is one of the best stats on the Paladin Relic. Period. The Paladin Relic is arguably the best itemized relic of the lot, not that this means anything to you since you clearly do not understand stats or itemization.My entire rant is about all of the tank Itemization on Warrior, when it belongs on the -tank- class.
I didn't miss the part where Three out of Five the abilities unlocked on warrior are Tank Abilities, and it makes total sense for an OFFTANK to gain access to these, considering SE's "Vision" laid out in this thread http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...764#post449764 It's intended for the warrior to be able to "Throw the attacks back at the boss"(To deal damage) or take a few hits. Paladin is clearly the one envisioned to be the tank. Do I need to link anything else to prove this?
If you're not going to contribute anything to the conversation, or say anything remotely intelligent i'd suggest you go to the general forums to spend your days.
Second, just because you *think* the Warrior should be an "offtank" does not make it reality (Oh, are you backpedaling from claiming the Warrior is primarily a DD, now?). The Warrior has all the tools and a clear design intent for versatility when it comes to both tanking and DD (and is , at the moment, more of a Tank than a DD both by design and in practical implementation). My posts are plenty constructive and intelligent - you're just clearly lashing out at me for calling you out on your profound, laughable ignorance.
Don't worry, though. I'll avoid hurting your feelings from here on out. <3
