Acctually I leveled through their breifly for about 2 levels before I went and campaigned. Our static set up was PLD/WAR, THF/NIN, WHM/SMN, SAM/THF, WAR/SAM, RDM/WHM. We never had a problem once while we were there. We had hate control out the ass, curing, and support with plenty of damage to go around.
To BBQ:
Before you head into your little baby carriage because I question your ability today I have a couple last questions I would like straight answers on.
If you were trying to conserve MP, why were you nuking?
- 4 melee 1 DW 1 H2H equalling a total of 6 attacks per cycle minimum as I showed on the last page even with a 20% resist rate will do more than you can with 4 nukes. Basically you just wasted 400-500 MP to match damage a 26 MP spell could do for your group.
If the WHM was curring so much, what exactly were you curring?
- Ill concede that the WHM probably burned MP pretty quick but still for about 600 MP you arent needed to cure, and if you are your probably killing the WHM's regens.
If you want to save MP why not use stoneskin and phalanx. At this level you SS will absorb nearly 300 damage or about 3 attacks per person (or 1 Cure 3 and a little bit extra). Phalanx would absorb about 18-20 damage per person per attack, causing SS to last possibly 4 hits. Making you save mp for a cure 4.
TBH if you weigh your options SS/Phalanx/Enspells are the way to go in terms of efficiency with MP. If that was truly a party issue then you failed at it and deserved to be booted.
Is your PLD to blame not overly, If the WHM was curring as much as you claim and you were curing as much as you claim then I imagine most people were being over cured at a big MP expense.
It sounds like you had a entire backline breakdown, and you seemed to want to flex you muscle as a SCH instead of supporting your own party like you should have.
It is funny isnt it BBQ, I make a post of how I am able to main heal a meripo as RDM/DNC, and I must suck because you assume I don't do my job. Yet I've never been booted because of it and have yet to cause a major downfall to EXP. Here you are basically telling us all you failed in your duties as a support job, I ask you a few questions and you tuck tail and run.
You wanted attention and I gave you some, so back up your story a little better with some real details of how you didnt hurt your party. As far as I can tell it appears you were the main cause of your own problems.
Does it hurt BBQ when the shoe is on the other foot? How many times have you put someone on their heels because of something they didnt like and chalked it up to being their fault. You have got to be the biggest hypocrit on these forums. So get back to me BBQ tell me why it was better to spend 400-500 MP on 4-5 nukes, that would have been damaged on par by enspell for 26. Tell me why spending 400-500 on nukes saved more MP then casting SS and Phalanx would have. I wan't some real answers too. None of the, well the whm was over curing, or my nukes hit for 600, because either way as a support job its your duty to fix those problems, you have the tools.
Basically it was a nice epic fail, learn your lesson move on and play a support role.
(Probably why you quit RDM, and probably why you'll give up on sch.)
Shrayn I am sorry for being rude like this, but frankley im tired of BBQ pretending BBQ is perfect. So I appologize if I made you uncomfortable on the forums, please forgive me.
