To Darkdominion:
I really don't care how much your nukes are worth, i'd refresh another blm who didn't bitch like you anyday before i'd refresh a selfish rude beggar (such as yourself at that time and place.)
Okay, rant done.
To people who think i wasn't doing my job:
I refreshed everyone as often as i could. However tell me this... When the puller (the drk in that party) pulls a mob during my refresh cycle, what's going to come first? blm refresh, or a good blind/paralyze/slow? Darkdominion made it his point to "remind" me whenever he wanted refresh (aka. whenever it wore off.) It quit after a while, when i told him i'm on it. I didn't even see him helping cure the pld when the whm was low mp... and he thinks i have to do what he wants snappy when he says it? It doesn't seem right.
On another note... I apologized (and got responses saying they'd do similar) to everyone in the party except you. You were the only person who i could plan on still bitching about it. Also ask any other rdm, we'd rather have a good fun exp party than a good exp crappy people party, and it takes one person to ruin the party.
I did my fair share of bitching at you though in-party, and that's the only thing i regret. It soured the mood, and helped nobody. For that, i apologize. However, i'd like to see any rdm take your words without getting irate at you.
I refreshed the whm and pld always, and refreshed both you blms when you were low mp. I even made sure the drk always had mp (he didn't use it much though...)
Point on point...
:arrow: You said "Refresh and enfeeble. In that order of priority. This particular rdm actually said if i wanted refresh i should get a bard"
:arrow: I said, and i remember saying "this party is too mp-intensive, a brd would be better." Other people on the board said i was right on that.
:arrow: The whm didn't once use a yag drink... not when i was partied with you. Maybe later when you were 5-person-partying, but not on my watch.
:arrow: I know better than to go around poking mobs when i have low mp, and voila, when i'm backup-curing the tank, enfeebling, and refreshing 5 people, what happens? low mp. No rdm's refresh will stretch that far on themselves when they're doing all that, and neither of the blms helped there.
I feel sorry for dakko... he's been taught to just follow what people want, and he's doing a perfect job. yeah right... i'd like to see that mindset work when he's doing anything different than exping.
Ask any other rdm if they like to do nothing but refresh enfeeb and rest, you'll get a good NO. We play rdm for the dynamics, you play blm for the high damage, and i never told you how to play your job.
No offense, but i think you made yourself the ass. Maybe next time we party, it'll be different
you DID say if i wanted refresh i should get a bard, i have a SS of it if you want me to post it.
this flame was not solely at you i believe i opened up by saying that it was a high number of rdm's out of my last few parties. i also tried to respect your anonymity by not saying your name or any of the other rdm's. This topic is not called "Reishu you suck at rdm" it's a venting of frustration at bad rdms in general who are very common it seems
The white mage was using yag drinks half the time and that argues it's own case. And yes, he was. wanna ask the other blm? maybe the drk? he asked my if yag drinks stacked with refresh and when i said no he asked why the whm was using yag drinks when we had a rdm... this led to the obvious answer
when you set yourself to it you were keeping refresh on fine and your mp wasn't as bad as all that till you tried to nuke.
The white mage most definately did not need back up healing, he needed more refresh.
I never at any point ran out of mp, i simply stop nuking before it gets that far thus scrificing the chains number for continuity, i can manage my mp and i CAN function without refresh as noted by the fact we did just as well without you. when we have a red mage we shouldn't have to.
Rdm are not easy to replace and nobody likes being a replacement, 9/10 times people tend to disband before you get there. you said you asked rdms if they wanted to replace you in a manaburn. let me clarify the definition of manaburn. manaburn = exp out the ears or death.
I only reminded you when i had gone 3 or 4 fights without or when the other blm was complaining about you. He had quite the 4 screens full of "this rdm sucks" to send to me. He told me he was asking the leader to replace you. chain 4, 6 people then chain 4, 5 people.... the drk was laughing about how we didn't need you at all (probably because he couldn't find another rdm anyways)
Also in the end you gave us a 30 minute warning then just up and left. that pushed me over the edge to post this. no 30 minutes, just disband and warp scroll.
Keep dakko out of this, Dakko doesn't need your pity, he kept his refresh
and enfeebles together admirably, he knows how to play the job as efficiently and effectively as possibly for the betterment of exp.
And lanien, when all is said and done a good red mage will be able to land those enfeebles AND keep refresh up on 6 people, all black mages who have a positive brain cell count start with the party-dependant corresponding burn-choke-shock or rasp-frost-drown. If i started with blizzard 3 on the pull back i'd be dead. i wasn't posting about not being refreshed i was complaining most rdms seem to be bad at doing what they're there to do. you obviously are not a black mage. i generally only use 1/3 or up to 1/2 of my mp a battle (It varies depending on mob proximity/pull time) by the time a puller gets back i'm nearly full again. It's when it's 8 or 9 battles in a row the 25 mp from full adds up. and you can ask any puller i've had i never even needed to be ASKED to cure the guy coming back from the pull if his hp is in a color other than white. The whm just regen'd the puller and cured the tank anyways. good red mages can still enfeeble on refreshs recast downtime. i mean... refresh>enfeeble>refresh>enfeeble>refresh>enfeeble. i just get pissed off when before refresh number 4 people put Cast AeroIII>enfeeble>cast some other elemental magic>enfeeble then go "Oh look, the first persons refresh wore!" can you spot the 2 mistakes there? note that the magic burst isn't even within the time span there. A melee hardly has any notice of the red mages actions other than the enfeebles and dispels (don't pretend that you do) unless they play a mage job in equal or greater amounts than the melee job. this can be a focal point of attention for any mage when exp is dragging. and FYI if the rdm has half-decent gear and capped enfeebling skill resistance rate is the same with the exception of taru for black magics and elvaan for whites.
Next time when i make a post i would ask we not bring names into it, how do you know i was even talking about you? make the same un-naming kind of reply rebuking all points from the hypothetical view point. i don't hold personal grudges just general frustrations. except to the outstanding people like colbwa and roofie.
and mara, links aren't downtime, their extensions of the chain! the quick easy way to get chain 6!
I have no real intentions of replying or even view this topic henceforth, so say as you will but don't waste your breath trying to provoke me into an argument, everything i've said above is fact. cold, hard and indisputable. especially the contents of my note to mara. and lan, a drg in the party implies it's not a high caster quantity party by basis of the fact you are there, your experiences with her in parties are therefore invalid as submissible observation.
now i need some ice for my fingers, beer for my brain and level 71 thank you very much for your time.
; Tis fact.
