yeah you USED to and the only other person you could think of was a MAYBE. I understand the game is designed to play the way you want to play and one shouldn't care about what others say about how you should play but after seeking for a week without an invite you'll realized that war/drg isn't such a good idea compared to war/nin or war/mnk. Lanien stop fucking making up arguments for arguing sake. you didn't even look at my description of my "viking" job, you Immediately jumped to the assuption that Viking=Warrior.
How about you pull your head out of your ass and stop reading the Brady Games' Strategy Guide and look around and see whats really going on.
Dude, what the fuck is your problem? The reason I say I used to is because I quit the game several months back, therefore creating an impossible situation in which I would be able to still play WAR/DRG. The funny thing is that I would still outdamage a lot of people using that combination, so it wasn't a choice on whether or not I was playing the way I wanted to, rather playing the way that seemed fit for certain situations. I read your description on your idea for a Viking job. The fact of the matter is that your idea is weak, and your ideas are already incorporated into the job Warrior. If you hadn't noticed, many of the jobs in FFXI have several factors in a single job that could be previously found contained in 2+ jobs in older games. Anything that the Viking class had that made it unique has been added to the job Warrior and alleviated the need for a Viking class. Viking had provoke, Viking used Great Axe. Those are pretty much the only unique things to the class, which Warrior has both of.
Even furthermore of your idea of Viking being horrible, nothing besides the fact that you have them using Great Axe is anywhere remotely near what and viable future job could even entail. Random weather effects turning into a stat increase? Not only useless but extremely situational which would turn Viking into PUP's bitch. Thrash is ridiculously unbalanced. Taunt is highly unwanted, since most of the time, a defensive move on part of the enemy mob gives the party a chance to recover. And defensive move + dispel = no more defensive move, so it would never be necessary. And just going along with the idea of Viking, NOTHING YOU LISTED HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FUCKING VIKING CLASS!
It is people like you who are the ones who only enjoy cookie cutter jobs and a clean cut path to 75. Do you think the first time someone was playing NIN/BLM it was considered a good combination? Or NIN/DRK? Every job combination that has been tried has gone through vigourous testing. I, for one, was testing WAR/DRG, and to tell you the truth, go ahead and put me up against a WAR/NIN and I could probably mop the floor with them.
Having taken DRG and WAR to 75, I do know a little something about the jobs. I was never one to follow the beaten path. Hell, I leveled DRG to 75 just because people said I couldn't. I know people who have done MNK/DRG at Gods and done ridiculous damage, but no one ever would have known unless someone did it. I was a Warrior and I was a Dragoon, and you would be kidding yourself if you thought that when I put the two together, I was just playing around because Brady said it was alright.
Get a clue.
