Last night had a PT as my whm (50) doing chamber beetles, and it was bad from the start. Let me say however, the people were cool and I make no direct threat on their personality only their ability to play their jobs correctly.

1. As a lvl 51 ninja you should have utsusemi: Ni... I mean come on if you cant farm 120k in 14 lvls youre just plain lazy. Do not respond with "I'm po". And do not compare Utsusemi: Ni to saving up for Sniper Rings, its like a warrior without provoke, just plain retarded.

2. As a PLD working with a THF and 2nd voker, learn how to set yourself up for sata.. (this also applies to the dark who consistently forgot to voke until i was at half life from casting slow). And do not afk in battles as the tank ~.~

3. BLM I dont give a shit if you can use a scythe, skill up on your own time do not melee then cast freeze and get the living snot beat out of you if youre not going to kill the mob with it. And just maybe, should you see that I am burning 400mp a fight on a beetle giving 130xp, and you end the fight with over 400mp maybe you could assist heal.

I was unable to haste the majority of the night, getting a skillchain to consistently work was like pulling teeth, and for christs sake, youre lvl 50+ know what the fuck youre doing or ask! Drop your ego for 5 seconds and listen to more experienced players. Recommendations are not made to piss you off, but rather to smooth the pt for all players.

They even asked me why JP pts dont want NA players, this PT last night just reinforced that. And they called JP racists but as retarded NA's continue to get higher and play stupider we are not closing the gap, in fact were making it much bigger (Obviously yes, most of this is debatable and surely subject to stereotypes, however the glove fit the hand in this scenario). Take a few days off and farm, get the appropriate gear (not sayin you need the best just better than average if you can)

I am not perfect nor am I claiming to be, a thunder ele was right next to us and I casted magic like an idiot by accident haha. Humbling...
 
Wow. That is just a depressing story.

People need to do research. The job forums on allakhazam may be a wasteland to the experienced players, but when i first started playing this game, they were an invaluable resource on how to play my character effectively.
 
At level 34 Blm I was in Garlaige Citadel last weekend with a party that just COULD NOT pull off a skill chain =\ We never hit an xp chain because the battles went on too long. The hate was bouncing around the nin/war & ranger...whm was nearly running out of mp every fight. (I'm sure part of this was from extra healing but I wonder if he might have been casting erase too often? Was my first experience in a party with a whm and erase so I'm unsure if that is the norm.
 
Ya know whats sad? I have done some math.... for the most part dunes parties with no subs can pull of more exp an hour then a level 50s party. Without all the BS of forming it and dealing with not being able to replace dumbasses.

I just had some idiot *tell* me that Utsusemi Ni wasn't that big of a deal...

Oh yeah that's right.. I was thinking that's when a Blink tank comes into his/her own and doesn't have to rely on a voke buddy... No no, solo tanking NMs isn't good at all. And 11 Shadows is much worse than 6... Also the 1 second cast time is SOOO over-rated... :roll:

Yeah...

What fucking parties are you getting into? We have been averaging 4.5-5k/hour... of course this is a static..
 
Because it is static, you don’t have the LFP time or the Looking for replacement time. If you take theses times into account 5k an hour will drop very fast.
 
Yea theorist you are a static not a pick me up party... I onestly believe people do not play as well when they are with people they do not know/care about. Spending two hours looking for a BLM or a RNG does not help, and when I see a chain 2 I cheer... uhg...

Though when I party with LS members things go ALOT better.
 
All valid stuff, Ryme.
>.<

That's why it's nice to PT with friends hehehe.
:P
 
The one problem I have with a lot of the information at allakhazam is they will tell you to do something, with out giving you the reasons why you should or shouldn’t be doing it. There is also a lot of miss information on there forums as well. This is also the problem I have with most high-level people giving advice. If I ask you why I should be doing something, you should be able to explain it to me, rather than just “because JP’s do it this way” or “Because I’m higher level than you, and I know better”. If you understand the whys, you are better to adapter the information, to different situations. It also gives you insight into other people’s jobs in the game, even though you hadn’t played that job your self.
 
I agree 100% Pascal. It's much easier to buy off on something when you understand it.
 
oh man its hard to teach ppl how SATA works ; ;

And its even worse when People FINALLY understand after 4 hours of partying then refuse to participate.....

In ALL my time playing ffxi... i have NEVER booted someone outta my party until a few days back in CN when i had a SAM that just wasnt paying attention to ANYTHING and his main defense was "yeah well i do more damage than all of you so shut up"....... he was 550 tnl when i booted him without regret.
 
... lol. I could just hear my party now.

RandomSamurai: Pulling Peryton!
Everybody: {All Right!}
Mithe: oh fawk afk

/comfort Rymie... all good points in your post. It is sometimes so frustrating to exp. with pickup groups. I try to latch onto at least one friend I kno who plays well and we make our own parties!! Btw when do you want to Parteeeee?
