To Buffer or Not To Buffer?

Re: To Buffer or Not To Buffer?

I usually keep myself at 22K/44K on buffer on all my 75 jobs.

Re: To Buffer or Not To Buffer?

My PLD has is currently at 40k/44k. I keep it high because the game was stolen from me. I bought the original/RotZ pack back, and I had to wait a month for ToAU disc to be availiable to buy.

During that month, I couldn't get a party, and my exp bar kept getting smaller and smaller everytime I die in Dynamis. I solo'd what I could handle as PLD/WHM, and by the time I got ToAU, I had 10k left from the 30k I originally had. If I loose my discs again, I want to be prepared to live through the wait again.

WAR: 40k (got it up to full 44k through merit parties, but suffered a few deaths since)

BST: 30k (got it mostly through campaign, and I rarely die on BST)

BLM: 20k (I don't do end game stuff like Dynamis, but I still die quite often; I mostly keep this up through campaign, quested exp scrolls)

I start twitching uncontrollably if I'm not capped.

Any time I lose my cap, I am compelled to regain it, upon finishing whatever event got me killed, of course.

I never switched the merits at 75. I wait for it to switch over when my exp caps. As it has been said before, Campaign and Besieged make it so easy to get buffer for no exp loss. My 75's have full buffer and I will use RR I and take Raise I when I die during events. Takes almost no effort to get my exp capped again. Don't be lazy about getting buffer, you won't regret it.
