Remembering Ballista...(moved from FFXIV Forums)

Ahh, ballista. One of the only reasons my good friend Petrov ever kept playing this game.

SAM/RNG was such a bitch of a damage output. NIN/RNG can't keep up in that regard and you should have never really feared it. Hell, WAR/RNG was better.

I always had that terrible feeling in my gut that something wasn't right about ballista, it was exciting and fun every time you played, but about 45 minutes through the match you really found out where your job's shortcomings were. And if you couldn't have good teamwork you were basically screwed, people knew you, they knew how to fight you. You were going down.

I wish there were more incentive to ballista. 500exp? For an hour? I'd think training against your fellow adventurers would give you assloads more experience then hitting a troll in besieged for 20 damage. But who knows.

The days of good ol ballista are over. Consider yourselves lucky if you get to go in and have fun again.
 
I miss it too :( I think one of my best moments was when I was dueling Petrov on drg and we both died at the same time! A lot of funny stuff in there. I try and get people to do it with me but they don't want to because they find it 'frustrating' and 'unfair'.
; ;
 
I love ballista and I wish it wasn't no obsolete(sp). Such a fun game, however it is unbalanced and frustrating for some. It's not for everyone. :(
 
60 cap was the most balanced by far. Uncapped was an entirely different story lol.
 
I used to love Ballista, and still do but it's just not popular anymore. I remember when Royale came up and I remember staying up to do it at 1 to do it. (was just a Lvl 37 whm at the time and had no idea how to do it, lol. Fun times
 
I remember being some of the first people on the server to organize Diorama stuff, we organized it on here.

Kicking Doumoon's ass as PLD/NIN was great, too

I tried to dual box it a few times playing Davio and Tymon but it never worked out too well. I remember killing myself once by mistake because I used Thundaga III instead of Thunder IV and it killed both me and the guy I was trying to kill

Haha, good times
 
necro here, but lots of ballista memories, most notably with Darsha and Neisan

those fuckers can fight

I remember my first ballista fight as Rdm/blm and fighting Kizayro as 60rdm vs 60nin

It was a long fight and I almost dead so I threw up converted for hp and shadowbound him and ran


It took him awhile to catch me but he finished me with Hyoton: Ni, and I rememeber when he said "good fight"

one of the most fun battles I've had


Darsha owning me with every fucking job combo in the game I remember fighting him nin/rng good lord it wasnt easy reducing damage from barrage and slugshot and just when I thought I had him, he fucking blows up in my face! Last year I remember getting owned rdm/blm to his drk/something until I came back as /blu and just whipped his ass. Petrov the drk I recall is pretty good I fought him about a month ago iirc, I had him for awhile on rdm/blu until he got smart with his drk/nin.

Neisan is like fighting myself lol we do the same tricks and moves I really dont want to fight him again at the same time I wouldnt back down from a match


I forgot last year when me darsh, gunner and some other peeps were fighting this dumb mnk, she said "Hold on while I 2hr" Gunnerx waited for her to 2hr then he Eagle Eye Shot her to death 2 seconds after; she was so pissed off. I also set her on fire(fire II deaths are so funny to look at btw)

/end good times
 
That was Bender that did the EES lol. Gunnerx never leveled Ranger past 30. Also, I don't ever recall this time that you "just whipped my ass" you bastard haha.
 
Ahahaha I bet you wouldnt


Remember that time when you were on drk and I tried kiting you as rdm/blm but sucked? Spammed a lot of guillos and murdered me then I went and changed to /blu and tanked it and killed you.


Actually you could have been drg/war on that one and i changed to /blu; but you know I got you, quite a few times actually my friend;)
