Been that way for years now, people loath exp grind they want their 75's asap so they get babysat through many levels.
 
I must´ve just noticed it then. Seriously, taking RDM and notBRD up to 75 wasn´t as much of a pain as it is taking COR up.
That, and I want some goddamn skillups :|
 
No one likes pre-ToAU levels, so you usually have someone along to try and make EXP as efficient as possible. After breaking through to birds, though, I don't think I've ever had a PL. Wait, no, I can think of one party. Everything else is rdm+brd+meleex4 at the leypoint, or something similar.
 
Is it really THAT hard to get BRDs for a merit party? Seems like everyone and their mom has BRD leveled these days, "just for meriting." I get a lot of merit invites when I clearly have an afk /seacomm up. I always feel a bit bad about that though.

I loved the pre-ToAU levels. They were fast and relatively fun.

Yeah, even without a PL a solid group can still pound out decent EXP. Levels come fast enough to change up camps every couple of hours, and I still enjoy EXPing pre-55. Granted, that's mostly in PL'd Qufim and Garlaige camps now, but still...
 
idk my bard was stuck at 37 sync until 54. I think I had 1 CN party between. I was happy as can be once I capped wind last party.....only took me til 57.

As for the rdm he was the rangers friend, so I did not bother with his name. Just chalked it up to I should have got the 65 whm rather than the guys friend.

Nah, shitty players are shitty no matter what. If you have a great tank, healers can by without needing to work too hard, if you have great damage dealers, tanks don't have to work as hard, etc. While I agree that level sync has indeed hurt people at lower levels (My samurai still doesn't have capped gkt for the level, despite my best efforts I'm still about 14 under) but the person in question just sounds like a pretty pretty princess RDM. You know the sort, the ones that figure because they're the RDM, everyone else has to work harder to keep them pleased. I once partied with a samurai who we shall just call Jade R... No, wait, too obvious. J. Rattlesnake who insisted on getting haste right away, despite having a ninja in the party.



The flip side is, thanks to level sync, you don't have to worry if that douche of a healer is the only one your level seeking. Friends with the job are nice to be able to call in for favors, and if the exp is decent, most anyone will sync back down to the sweet spots right around 60.

I have a Haste cycle, lol, if he'd have asked for haste from me, I would've automatically put him last. Maybe even "forgot" to haste him, lol. People like that annoy me. :biggrin:

The few times I've been COR or on SAM in meripos, why do some RDMs bitch about having Ballad and/or Evoker's Roll. That used to irk me as if they are "entitled to it".
Click to expand...

I just sit and wait. If I drop too low, I'll throw SS up, Curaga II and /heal with my cookies and Dark Staff. If the said Corair and/or Bard doesn't Ballad me or Evokers, and I run out of MP, (my Dynamis boss is a MP whore -_-; and normally comes COR/WAR), if they die, I don't bitch about it. I just get MP, Raise and the party continues as if nothing happened. Bitching gets people mad at you, doesn't normally get your point across.:hiding:
 
Davion said:
That's not the point I'm making.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

I can give Evoker's roll but it will be in due time. A RDM in particular should be able to sustain themselves and control their MP enough to not depend on Ballad and Evoker's roll as a crutch and whine the very SECOND either effect falls off them in a meripo. Similar to the OPs situation.

Yeah, even worst ive seen people do this with there MP full, or close to it.

I´m not saying it´s bad, but fuck, bards are hard enough to find as it is.

Strangely enough on quetz I've been seeing an overload of brds and cors lfp but not enough DD. I cant comment on the cor/brd pt only thing since i usually campaign or do something else instead of meriting since I'm not exactly desperate to do so.
That's as far as meriting goes.

While I don't mind a reminder if I forget to haste/regen over lets say a few minutes. But if your DD and I'm casting on the tank, you'll just have to wait your turn..... This annoys me more with the -na spells. Especially when all the RDMs come as /BLM for stun, leaving you the sole or 1 of 2 WHM in an alliance. I CLEARLY need to firstly cure tank, not to mention myself otherwise I'll not be casting at all due to paralysis. The reverse seems to happen alot when I play PLD.... I'm not sure if its because WHMs coming through level sync never have to use them, or because PLs always take status ailment hits so they never have to cure ailments themselves, but some healers take FOREVER to use a -na spell....
I really don't miss refresh, unless I'm on PLD, because I don't get to rest as much in between (or during) fights.... I'm not used to having RDMs or BRDs in my pty, so getting refresh or evoker's roll or ballad is just some nice bonus I get occassionally..... nothing more.... nothing less

Everyone seems to have BRD and/or COR leveled.... except me... I have neither in double digits yet. Tanks seem to be hardest things to find. Tanks that do their jobs properly even more so.

Yes, I'm talking about you, Alobont. <3 My Dynamis, MP, Sac pulling Corsair, Fearless Leader, Whore.
 
I hate shitty mages that cannot do their job. I look at refresh and ballad as luxuries, great with but I can manage without. I don't get why he was complaining about refresh when he has his own....AND composure. That ability is a godsend when you are main healing! This dude fails.

I don't know, I was a WHM before I was a RDM so I know how to keep people alive and conserve MP.

Did you mean /drk? Because /blm sub doesn't give stun if you didn't know.

I was going to say that but I haven't played in a couple years and thought "hey, they could have made it possible".
