Get a fucking clue, or play the damned job before you say it's hard or easy.
Rangers DO do twice the job of other DD's just to clarify. Not only are they expected to know when/how to do their job, they have to pull as well. Considering that you are a level 40 Thief, you understand how this can be difficult. A GOOD Ranger will not pull links back every other pull, or lets be crazy...once in a single session! I link occasionally, but there are so many other players who I am sure link a lot more than I do. And yes, Rangers are a much different job to play. I have the potential to basically steal hate on a whim. What other job can say that! I only do this in critical situations obviously, when the mages are out of mp (cant recall when this happened last) or the tank is one hit away from death. And just to let you know, when shit hits the fan...I can handle my part of the bargain when I need to. Whats that? An add? Well why dont I disengage, grab that one, take it away and shadowbind it? Hey that will give the party about a minute to finish up with the first mob. How many times have I asked a Rdm for gravity so I could kite an add and not get it? Lets not mention the fact that when shit DOES hit the fan, its gonna be the Ranger who ends the fight quickly by unloading Slug Shot, Barrage, EES, Slug Shot.
Hmm let me think. A Drk has to do what? Every five minutes I will stack Soul Eater for my WS and then remove it! That takes a ton of thought process. I have yet to meet a Drk that does anything else to contribute. Stun or whatever else. I am not bashing them, but they just dont take as much effort as Ranger. People think Rangers just hit a macro over and over.
Moving on to Whm... Please explain to me what is so difficult. You Haste the melees that need it. You erase or whatever when its needed. And you cure. Half the time, white mages need to be reminded of this stuff in my experience. I find Whm to be harder at low levels because you are expected to debuff more.
Pld... Please you cant even begin to insinuate that a Pld is half as tough as Nin. All they do is spam their macros to get as much hate as possible. Am I wrong? If I am then please tell me I am and tell me how I am. When I know Im going to pull hate and going to need cover, I go behind the Pld so he can cover. When the Pld runs in front of me to cover when I am about to kill the mob...what good is it?
Now I am not basing any job in the least. I think every job has their place in a party. I dont see a Drg or Smn and immediatly dismiss them from thought. I know Mnks can just about outdamage me at this point. I have a pretty good grasp of the game. I have the basic idea down about the jobs that are in the game...except Smn, still seems beyond me. (Cubswoo, Im sorry man. I knew I had forgotten one job but couldnt place my finger onto it.
)
On the other hand, some of the jobs that take "less skill" are those jobs that usually have to spend an ass load more. Monks, I cant image. I got off easy in that I have pretty good gear and only invested about 2 million into it.
I do intend to play these jobs, with the exception of mages cause I cant stand em, to some degree or another. Again, if I am wrong, and you think that a Drk, Drg, Mnk, War, etc can compare in difficulty to a Ranger or Thief.... please tell me how. Cause I am dying to know.
