Funny, I seem to remember you telling someone else recently that they don't have an "average" life. I log on about 3 times/week for 2-4 hours each. 2 of those days cost me 60k (that's Limbus). I don't even have the time to try to sell my coins. Should I be completely unallowed to join a merit party because I'm 0/3 on Swift Belt and all my friends have quit?

If you have a COR or BRD in the party, they can do this better. If you don't, your benefit to mage MP pool will be needed much more than 2 swings of a lance every 5 minutes.

Who ever said anything about
needing these buffs? And why the hell do you keep forgetting the 60s? Not everything is 20k/hour merits. Like I said, 80-85% accuracy is just fine. It doesn't make you gimp. Usually, these builds gain more DPS in normal melee swings to offset the fact that they're not maxing their acc. However, these same builds will get the most from an extra 5-10% hit rate. Note: even at 85% acc, my ideal songs from bard are March > Minuet > Madrigal.

I think I tend to agree, actually. But calling it FSUKING GIMP everywhere else is just being elitist and you know it. Just because someone else wants to hop in and do some help playing support, you get super pissed off that someone's treading on your turf. While you're at it, can you not stand SMNs because they occasionally use a Fenrir buff and not hastega? Does it drive you crazy when a BLU sets primarily non-damage spells?
Really, the only reason I'd be hesitant to invite a /cor is because most people who "think outside the box" just don't know the facts (in regards to job/sj). They probably don't even know how to work the combo.
