(Note: Just a friendly rant. If you disagree with what I say, that's your opinion.)
Anyway, onto ranting. First and foremost, I'm sick of seeing how you guys all hate Colbwa. I partied with him, he's a great THF, and he respected me, so please just leave the guy alone.
Another thing, is about how you guys hate RDM melee. Well, I for one, am a Taru White Mage, and I engaged battle up until I hit 51 and got my Light and Dark Staves. And you know what's really awesome? Is every Ninja and Thief I partied with up until then, did way less damage than me.
"Thief uses Sneak Attack."
"Thief uses Viper Bite."
"Spider takes 50 points of damage."
"Thnikkaman uses Seraph Strike."
"Spider takes 75 points of damage."... Most people tell me that those were just really crappy NIN and THFs, though. That's believable, but I rest my case.
Speaking of Ninja, what is with people subbing that all the time? It's a decent subjob, but it shouldn't be a mandatory subjob for every little job, especially later on. Dual Wield doesn't give you double TP, people. Your weapon intervals are highly increased. Even if it's not double interval, if you subbed Warrior, you would have double attack sometimes anyway, so it's better, and a lot cheaper. The only two jobs that I think should sub NIN for is Ranger and BLM. I know you're all thinking "BLM/NIN sucks", but if you think about it, extra INT from Dual Wield, shadows for incase you overnuke, mob debuffs to certain spells. The list goes on.
And the level 60 noobs. You know? When you see a Samurai asking how to make a weapon skill macro at level 60 or higher, that really makes you think. People sell their characters at level 60, because other people did and that pissed them off. And just because you're level 75 in two or three jobs doesn't make you good. Stop thinking you're better. I'm not 75 yet because I spend more than half my time helping others.
The whole "RDM is better than WHM in xp parties" is ridiculous. Red Mages have like no spells beneficial enough to be good. No Curaga, no Protectra, no Shellra, no higher level Raise. I mean, Fast Cast and Refresh rock, no doubt, but it's just not worth it. Or Summoners used as main healers. Let the SMN do their job, don't make them heal just because they have 2x the MP as a normal healer.
Final rant piece... WHM's, stop eating pies and stuff. Stick to cookies for downtime or something. And always remember MND is the most useless attribute in the game, MP is your friend. If ever possible, get an Astral or something of that family.
Anyway, all's fun here. I expect a lot of criticism on this rant, so by all means, hate it. Tell me what you think is wrong. If you agree, great!
