I'm soloing as my 2nd character 18 galka mnk in the dunes whiel lfp. I go 2 hours killing 72-140xp enemies, dinging 19 and getting 5000 xp in the process without much effort, infact I was goofing off with LS members a good portion of the time, but that's beside the point.
I'm now 19 and finally get an invite froma 17 warrior. It's almost funny because I got invites without a SJ period in 10-20 minutes, oh well. The warrior happens to be the jerkoff this post is about, nicalapegus.
So we all meet up at whitesands beach, someone asks everyone's highest. He was 30ish something job, high enough to know better, low enough to still be a fool. I was rather excited everyone was 30-64 on their main though for a dunes party.
Well first off this party had more potienal than we got out of it, but I wasn't complaining. After a 90 damage combo to a inc tough pug and getting chain 2: ,110,140ish,192 xp I was satisfied for a dunes party. Although no thanks to this jackass. He hit for 20 damage TOPS with a GAX, and took more damage than me, funny he's the tank too. Obviously he didn't bother to use food for this party. How do you hit for 20 with GAX, how can a mnk get hit for less damage with less defense PLUS a warrior has defense bonus at lvl 10, so obviously he's no the sharpest knife in the draw, but whatever, I don't expect a whole lot in dunes. My fists were hitting harder than his GAX swings...per fist.
So after that chain 2 during the downtime the following conversation occurs.
Nicalapegus-do Skillchain <Shield Break> <Shoulder tackle> : <Impaction>
Myself- I don't see that SC on my chart, it's a very well known chart.
Nicalapegus- well then its Shoulder tackle---> Shield Break then
http://www.adennak.com/renkei10.pdf - my SC chart.
Myself- I guess...But don't you think that'll produce a very weak SC not worth giving up combo for? (I'm avoiding calling him a gimp here, you can't just go out and say that to the party leader)
Nicalapegus- you've got a bad chart. (Obviously as you can see I don't, but what a rude comment to make, especially since he has a small amount of experience in this game)
Myself-Well lets prove it then, I'm sure my chart isn't wrong, lets try the SC? (Refering to his original SC suggestion)
In his silence I offer up some suggestions
Myself- Well I'm looking into my chart, how about focus on this SC. Sam with polearm(he was using polearm) do <Double thurst> ---> <Slice> (we had a drk) for <Distortion>.
The SC he offered up even if it was real would suck anyway, so why focus on it.
Myself- Or have Samurai switch to GKT, we can do Hobakn-->shield break for impaction if you're heartset on impaction, that'd be a far more effective SC.
Myself- Or Hobakn--> combo(with the damage I got on my combos this would be practical)
Nicalapegus-...You are coming off very rude (Here he was for some reason offended I suggested some other possible real and good SCs)
Nicalapegus-you're already a monk, you shouldn't be arguing (Arguing?)
Ok this line I have a problem with, what kind of fucking lowlife thing is this to say. Because I'm choosing to level a less desired job, I can't offer suggestions that will probably benefit the party? This is the same as a bard or ranger throwing their weight around in a party, no person has the right to be an asshole because they're X job. They may get away with it, but it's not a right.
Before I can reply I'm booted from the party with zero warning
What's wierd is I was doing almost half the parties damage output out of a 4 DD party. The drk's scythe hit for 10 a swing, warrior was 10-20 a swing, polearm was alright, and I hit 15-25 per fist, I was also tanking without voke because the warrior was too gimp to hold it off me.
And funny when I did have hate, I just popped dodge and evaded quite often, one time 3 hits in a row, not only that but I took about 5-10 damage less per hit than the warrior despite the fact he had <Defense Bonus> job trait at his level and I didn't. If anything, you'd think the galka mnk with a 90 damage combo would be deserving of the parties "weight", however I wasn't the moron party leader with little knowledge so shit out of luck I was.
Reasons I offer new SC suggestions instead of going with his.
1. The original was not a SC.
2. Any SC with shield break from a warrior hitting for 10-20 damage can't be very good, why force it?
3. Any SC ending with shoulder tackle is pathetic when I can do 60-90 damage consistantly to an inc tough pugil with combo. I'm not one of those gimp dune mnks with no str + at all, no food..Galka race,str+8+4(food)+attack bonus+25%
4. I might've agreed if we had lightning MB, however we had no blm, and 2ndly lightning(impaction would be lignting) is lvl 21 blm.
Although number 4 wasn't the main reason, it was 2 and 3, they'd make piss poor 20 damage WS finishers with 5-10 SC damage. I'd rather have my combo or another SC since hsi suggestions were so junky. And then booted without warning and lack of a good reason.
Theme- You can't be helpful around stupid people, especially when it's helpful advice put forth without attacking the other person.
Nicalapegus don't expect to get far in this game. If you don't understand SC mechincs completely, don't act like you're the master of them if you have limited experience. It's one thing to know someone and try and share your knowledge, it's another when you're a clueless moron acting like you know alot. You're intolerent little bastard, I'm glad you couldn't find a DD after you booted me and had to wait around in selbina. I hope you got another person like you guys hitting for 10 damage with a 2nd handed weapon because you're too cheap to even use meat jerky.
