Bad sam. Bad bad bad bad bad sam. AVOID.

Currently lvl 53 i think. This person is a lvl 53 sam that subs thf. Yes thf. His war is lvl 14. He has no other sub avail. And he cant hit a mob. I was a 51 nin and i have all my points in evasion, and i can hit the mob more than him. He cant pull, he cant recover if a mob goes crazy (and they WILL with this guy.) He cant even set up SATA with the REAL thf. You know how bad it was? Heres an idea:

PT was me in my spiffy second job so i gots the good shit gear, thf with all the right stuff even a corsairs knife, whm with light/drk staff blm with ice staff, rdm who melee'd but always dispelled and refreshed perfectly. Enter the sam/thf.

This guy consistently destroyed our initial SATA so i never got the robber crabs in kuftal tricked onto me, he couldnt do an initial skillchain (enpi-->viperbite) he couldnt do the second chain with me, (bladechi-->jinpu) the ONLY reason he had tp at any point was meditate. I actually LAPPED him in tp.. Im a fricking ninja. Im also a casting ninja, so im constantly throwing spells yet i LAPPED a SAMURAI. (who was 2 lvls higher than me in the pt.) I could NOT keep hate off the well equipped BLM and the mob just bounced like a rubber ball. Our initial rdm had to leave so we got a replace while we waited for sonicboom to run to rabao to change to his 14 war sub so we could ATTEMPT to control the mobs. This worked much better. The new rdm was fine, and we progressed sortof ok instead of damn terrible. But even with his gimped war sub he would forget to voke initially or instead of voking and standing for me and the thf to sata he would run in circles and sata would STILL fail. I had to set myself a limit, if in fifteen sec the thf had no chance of tricking onto me, i just voked adn prayed i could control it as the blm usually had aggro by this point. I didnt examine him so i dont know WTF he is wearing but i dont want to.

After we tele'altepd and ran-->rabao he was going to RUN TO KUFTAL to save 100gil... by himself... Yeah... So i told him to stand still and killed an antican essidarius solo. that would have got his 100gil but he went /disgusted and zoned into rabao. Teehee.

It was so bad i was praying Guivre would spawn adn eat us just so i could go back to jeuno.

The thf leader didnt kick him because 'it would be mean' but like i told her, the ONLY REASON this LEECHING BASTARD is 53, is because no one had the heart to frickin kick him. So do the world a favor and dont help this guy cuz hes a tard of the highest caliber.
 
I met him when I was first lvling thf or sam...total ass. Been on my blist for a LONG time.

Sad that he hasn't changed at all.


PS. dont bash sam/thf <.< It can work, just gotta know how to play it 8)

Obviously he doesnt :evil:

It *can* work from 30-49. It *doesnt* work from 50-59. It works well post 60.
 
<<ive used thf sub, it works :P

Its all about who is behind the keyboard/controller.
back on topic though...

I know you have, and there is still no excuse for the lack of Double Attack from 50-59. At 60, /THF and /RNG give you other tools to make up for that loss. From 50-59, they do not.

I suppose its better to say that /thf can work, but not well compared to /war from level 50-59.
 
Aww, man >< this makes me sad....

Story:
pre-tp nerf patch, im in yhoator training my spear up for the nifty pentathrust, get bored, decide to head back. Zoning into yuhtunga i meet a young, lvl 30ish sam named Sonicboom, he seemed nice enough, just a little lost, so i agree to lead and shepherd him back to kazham. so were a-walking, im a-destroyin, we end up with a link and afterwards were a-restin. it is then that i notice his head gear, that lvl 30 agil helm, so i ask him whats up with that and check him. he says he really doesnt know what he should be wearing and asks my advice, so i take stock of his badly thought out gear and tell him to get a pen and some paper. i revised his gear, gave him a total shopping list all the way up to AF, listing costs and best ways to farm up the gil, and he says "wow, thanks, i needed that. i appreciate the advice, i cant hit these mandies for crap".

Havent seen him since, but im very sad to hear that apparently my advice bounced off a brick wall........ misty, slow down lvling a bit and ill pt with you soon, ill be back to lvling shortly, got 1.5 mil worth of gear atm and just about to get my snipers. <3 nebimonites, the ferry rules.

ps, grats on the optical hat misty ^^
 
you know it wasnt so much that his gear sucked as his playstyle... I saw the usual good sam gear ya know, ochido kote, jujitsu gi, he actually talked about trying to camp stroper for snipers. He just couldnt adapt to any party situation from normal play to emergency... :(

Also I think im gonna hang up my nin for a week or so and do some DRK now that i have my *Hat* /em stares at the Optical Hat. /em pats the Optical Hat lovingly.

Hey you tried to mentor the guy. If he's thick, he's thick. Not even an exact list of things to go and buy and things to go and do helped the guy.
Sounds pretty dense to me.

...Noted.

Mentoring people is not worth your time. I was Solo'ing BST in dunes with my Seek up, hoping to get a speedy group and perhaps educate a few people on how amazing BST is in a party... but I ended up wasting countless hours on deaf ears (or blind eyes), and making xp as slow as solo.

I'd estimate that 2 out of the 30+ people I met were willing to listen to or take advice. 1 was so upset at reading advice that I was BOOTED from the party (Ziggylee was his stupid name. Warrior + G.Sword + STR Rings + Meatkabobs + BERSERK = Fucking Awful Tank).
 
Hey hey.. Keits.. While back in my war lvl day, i never used berserk while tanking. But I did have str rings and great swords... also cant say I used mithkabobs then.. didnt start using them till Khazaam. Anyway, the point im making is I was a damn good tank even at the lower levels.

I dont know, maybe i just 'got it', but it makes me sad/angry when warriors just cant tank or provoke right. It makes me even more plain pissed off when freaking Pld/wars cant tank. It's not like its that hard of a thing to do.. tanking is so damn easy I think i might even go and unlock pld sometime soon.
 
In addition, what's really sad is when im in a party as a Sam/war, and im doing a better job provoking than the designated tank. /sigh
