drg is one true instance where you actually need good gear and good skill to be good. Most jobs skill out plays gear much more, but this it the exception where you need both or you suck. Most people usually don't have both unfortunately.

You get 5 points for trying to insult my abilities to tank mobs that live for less then 15 seconds. Oh yea, you also still get 3 points for whining about EXP loss in Dynamis. And if you would do that, I can imagine you don't know much of anything about it.

Lol, i didn't whine, i requested an r3 since everyone else around me was getting them. And i wasn't calling your abilities into question so far as taking damage / holding hate goes, i was calling you a slow tank.. meaning you take way too much time trying to decide which mobs to attack .. i recall waiting a good 20-30 seconds before you actually decided which mob to claim and shout assistance for.. oh.. and try putting "/attack <t>" in your shout macro so that you actually engage the mob you're shouting assistance for so that people dont wonder what you're doing when /assist isn't working after you've shouted 3 times..

owned!

Lol those would be great points if a few things held true. One being, I never shout more then once, unless I lag out and my macro fires twice. Also, the only time I took anymore then 5 seconds to select my next mob was when either mages hit me with spells on disengage(Causing me to get "Cure freeze") or when I had 0 hate holding abilities to fire off before everyone mindlessly hacked away at the mob. Because dead Bards and Black Mages are helpful right?
And your macro suggestion is excellent...Except...Well, yea I don't shout until I've engaged the mob. Nice try though. Maybe you should check the lag on your connection. Or stop mashing your assist macro hoping you'll get the target I choose when I hit my shout macro.
On a side note, you didn't request, you whined. Raise III were given out because, as any moron with half a brain knows, Raising up or down the order of Raise spells(I, II, III) is faster then RI, wait, RI, wait RI...Or any of the other spells. Go try playing a mage job and tell me the recast timers on any Raise spell. Especially while weakened. Oh yea, you were also one of the idiots trying to run when we were wiping. Nice.
I know you're lieing , because i sat there watching people manually targetting mobs and engaging + turning their backs after you shouted several times, you were slow so they got impatient.. I don't even use a /assist macro, i watch for which mob you were going for, and i use /ra since it is un-necessary for me to engage mob until i have optimum ammounts of TP for a weaponskill, (since ranged attacks can be fired continuously without engaging)
As for whining , no, it wasn't, it was a request, and since you seem to think that swearing and yelling and ordering people around in a dictatorship-like style makes everything go faster, you're wrong. and you perceived my simple and kind request for an r3 as whining, if you had just gotten out of sky and lost a crap load of exp fighting gods minutes before dynamis, on a job that has an extremely low rate of exp gain due to low demand, you'd want an r3 too, (but since you're a paladin and probably have never experienced this you didn't understand)

And i counted, each second, as you waited for which mob to choose, on dynamis-bastok you were intollerably slow, nearly costing the win, because you thought too much about "priority" mobs instead of just grabbing ones that blm's were sleeping and cutting through them as fast as you could before the others woke up.. you weren't AS slow on sandy, but nonetheless.. speed and efficiency is the key to victory.

Say I'm lying all you want, that adds 0 credibility to your arguement. And oh yea, being a Paladin and all, I know jack shit about dying. And EXP loss. And yea we get SO MANY INVITES, because level 75 parties need tanks so badly they SCREAM for Paladin. Not to mention, it's not like there's 400 other level 75 Paladins around.
And hey, sorry if you can't manage to get an invite. I wonder why? But cry me a river. I'm sure we forced you to come to Dynamis after losing so much of your precious EXP. You think people will feel bad about Raise I'ing you because YOU chose to do Dynamis, and not EXP? Please, it's your own fault for coming to Dynamis if you didn't have sufficient buffer.

Hardly. Lemme bring up a map and show where Alyssan was on a Dynamis-Sandoria run. I could only get a regular Sout Sandoria map, so here it is.
Not only were you far away, dead... but you demanded a Raise 3 because you deleveled. Nice buffer.
Oh and this supposed flame is still a waste of fuckin space, wish there was an admittance test for qcdn... we'd see alot less useless topics.
Alyssan. said:
Well yea I was intolerably slow in Bastok, considering I DC'd liked 5 times, my laptop died twice, and I wasn't main tank the entire time due to such. I'd like to see you select from your dead laptop or disconnected DSL. I'm sure you'd do MUCH better. The fact that you were counting seconds between mob selections shows just how much brain power your job requires in Dynamis, so you aren't in a position to even open your mouth. And yea, Priority means nothing. That's why when someone woke up a MNK while we were fighting a SMN in Sandy, it wiped half the alliance. Because you know, they aren't dangerous or anything when they 2 hour cuz some idiot melee decides to manually engage it.
You said it yourself, speed AND efficiency. Sorry I took an extra 3 seconds to tab to that MNK instead of fighting the WHM. Because a Benediction waking up every sleeping mob and restoring any nearby stones to full HP definately encourages efficiency.
Oh it seems Alyssan has died far away from camp and whined about R3 on several occasions, since I've never done Dynamis with Cythe.

What the hell are you talking about? You weren't even there and you put me outside of the map entirely, way to photoshop some bullshit just to make it look like you're in the right, stop jumping in on every post that i make just to attack me because you have some personal agenda against me.
I asked politely for an R3 cythe, but the first response i got was "stop whining and take an R1" followed by many other immature comments , not a single one responding to me maturely with "sorry aly, we can't really afford an r3 , please take an r1 we gotta do this quick"
instead i got this " Get up now, if you turn down an r1 you're kicked out, stop whining and take the damn raise " it was in caps but i'll leave that out.

I just said this isn't the same incident as yours with Cythe, moron. I just said I took a map online of South Sandoria, unless you magically got a Dynamis map, moron. I don't have a "personal agenda" with you, moron. I thought you were an ok person before you started posting here, but it clearly shows you try to use big words without know their fuckin definition and you fail to bring up any decent post as of yet, moron.

What a pathetic way to save face...

Take what you're given, no one gives a shit about your level if your gonna give a shit about it either, I.E. getting a decent buffer.
That should read "your not gonna give"
Alyssan. said:
Actually, what I personally said was, in answer to a suggestion was, "How about you take whatever Raise you get or we kick your ass out?" And yea that's what I said, exactly. Not in caps, and not turn down an RI and you're kicked. Just plain take what you get, or you're kicked. Partly out of anger, but mostly out of 'we don't need whiners who can't take some EXP loss on our Dynamis runs.' You say I wasted time and almost costed a win, but guess what? Everytime someone turns down a raise and asks for another one, they just wasted another 150 MP from a WHM and another 30 seconds to a minute until another WHM Raises them once more...And if it's not a III and they do it again, we lose another minute. Etc.
No one needs that shit on their runs. People come in knowing they will lose EXP. We Raise III whenever we can, but in the event of a wipe(Like that one), you grit your teeth and bare with whatever you get. If you can't handle that, I have no problem kicking you. Neither does anyone else.
It's not a way to save face its a fact, and you obviously do have a personal agenda with me or else you wouldn't be doing this on my posts, i recall a long time ago you used to be friends with me but you got in an HNM shell and suddenly didnt have time for friends anymore.. and as for attacking my grammar, don't try.. i know what the words i use mean unlike a bunch of people i can name on this forum, and asf for placing them in the correct context , tahts another story, since i'm currently on my 7th rum and coke..
