Trial Wweapons and EXP parties

Well there's a good reason that I take some hostility at people not doing their job 100% to their potential. Sure only casting Bio II isn't going to cause a significant loss. However.

I've known people who cap their skills before joining EXP parties. Pheebe/Pheona for one used to cap her MNK Hand-to-Hand on a regular basis with Kasuke, just to bring her 100% to each party.

I didn't take 1-2 months off skilling my great sword from 130~225 to party with some asshole who's going to unlock destroyers.

True.
But really, I at the same time wouldn't disband on the spot when I level because my a melee skill goes uncapped or something. =P "Back in 15 guys, gonna cap sword. Replace me if needed."

Yeah I understand. Mages casting Bio II can be especially irritating because it overrides Dia; I guess not everyone knows that. But an extra Dia every other mob never hurt anyone! >.>

Trust me, I totally support skilling up most things out of party. I've been skilling up sword a night or two a week on rdm. I could try that in pt but it would just be stupid so I don't lol. I barely have enough mp and time to keep up with essential rdm duties in xp pt as it is.^^
 
You are to always bring your best to an exp party or at least somethign acceptable to wear. trial weapons are not acceptable weapons vs cheaply weapons or the weapons you already had before you could even quest the latent assuming you have decent gear.
Now.... if the party completely sucks ass and is full of noobs I'd feel no remorse about using them for something useful.
 
I say fuck em and party naked and use the line "I pay to play, i'll play how i want"

Casue when i hit 71 im thinking aboot using the Trial Axe to replace my Blue Pick( i forget the name)

am i an asshole for gimping my party's experience points because i am too lazy to skill up a trial weapon on my own time?

Umm if he was just an asshole that didn't care about gimping his party why would he post on qcdn to get opinions on the subject?

Edit: Ok now I see the "am i" instead of "i am". But still!

I think he was well aware about Bio overwriting Dia, Kero. Oh wells lol

That's an interesting fact there Vil, I wasn't aware of that...Bio won't overwrite Dia II? Sweet.

Phe wouldn't disband a party because of that either, I don't know where you're getting that from ^^;

Instead, just cap it after that party and before the next invite.

If I insinuated she would leave a party and skill up her hand-to-hand...Sorry, that's not what I meant.

I didn't know that either lol...

<--Noob! :biggrin:
 
my opinion of trial weapons in exp pt isn't high, however, some trial weapons simply aren't a big step down especially if you're not some rich SOB and you're using (even if they're the best you can manage for w/e reason) mediocre weapons, they can be just fine. especially if you're like 20 points away and just say to hell with it and exp for a few fights to finish it.

hehehe. funny you should mention that. i melee'd on my rdm all the way up to 65 (no im not kidding). that was before i realized how helpful the elemental staves were. i can only imagin how much i was pissing people off back then. but it was my frst job and i leared the ropes like everyone else.

nin have an A in throwing anyway. it not used cause of the huge cost it takes to do regulerly. not to mention skills on throwing dont come as fast as archery or marksmenship. my GF and i duo our skillups to keep from irritating the masses. :ph34r:

Haha up to 65 wow, well we all have to learn how best to play our jobs. I'm sure I irritated a lot of people on my blm (maybe still do :biggrin:). Also my MBing on rdm has been commented on in party one time, but I can't help it! 75 levels of blm has trained me to burst!

Lol I usually duo with my bf for skillups for the same reason. I've used throwing on my nin a bit...if I remember right my skill level is 2. >.> lol
 
i actually killed a few raptors in cape terrigan with 300% tp spirits within. :bb:
 
wow this topic got bigger than i thought it would. But i just looked and i get a new Axe at 71 so im "Tazibarin" or somethin and ill use that ill just find me a DRK or a THF and go break the latent.

Monk, whm and pld can skillchain with you as well.
 
ive been using trial dagger in xp party, if i wasnt, id be using hoplitess harpe.

hoplitess has 32dmg, and 210delay
trial dagger has 27dmg, 200delay

5dmg loss, not that big a deal, i guess if u were using behemoth's itd be different
not all that big a loss imo, now, when i can hold my heartsnatcher in 1 more lvl, i wont be trying to unlock that in xp pt >.> 15dmg before unlocking... ouch ><
 
I view the use of trial weapons in a pick up exp party as a bad thing to do. But if its just a nice party with some friends ive been known to just have a bit of fun. Unlocking the trial weapon of savage blade actually helped me learn a bit how to solo rather well on war after solo'n all but the last 60 or so points in kuftal tunnel.
