Hate to break the news to you, Mr. I quit so now I believe I'm better than everyone in the fuckin world at the easiest job in this game, but Noble's is unnecessary in a normal party. Period. I have close to 1000 MP and never go below 500. Without a noble's I was able to manage healing and MP in a party with 5 melee. Screw lolrefresh. Noble's is just a novelty of the endgame and elitist crowd. Since I'm in a Dynamis shell, and it is helpful to the shell for me to have one, I'm getting one soon. Do I really want it? Not really, with exception to the status/look of it. Other than that, for parties Relic is better anyway. You use light staff anyway, it gives you refresh, and Regen 3 will be stronger by 3 HP per tick. Either way, Noble's just isn't that necessary. Especially with the Martyr and Devotion meritted job abilities, but that leads to a whole new conversation.
Hehe, I <3 you Kotsu but Relic only supercedes Noble's as a regen macro cast.
The Cure potency shoved in with the light staff and noble's combined makes a big difference in MP conservation and regardless of how much you're left with, you said 500 left?
You can never be too careful for those emergencies, extra MP is the difference between saving a party, having enough to recast RR3 if it drops suddenly and continue to maintain the party at hand.
Merited abilities don't belong in the conversation, due to the hefty recast price alone.
I agree with the fact that Noble's can be a novelty item in the sense you're either taking the job to 75 to have a 75, or because you want the stats the blessed offers for out of merit situations. It carries a fairly hefty price tag of 1m, lord knows I can't afford it... However it's a staple piece that just makes life easier for an already talented WHM. <33
If you don't feel you need it and can do your job well, just take the prods you're gonna get from everyone expecting a Noble's lol. If you're doing fine without it and find Noble's to be impractical for your intended goal? Screw it, but I wouldn't go defending relic as anything better than a regen macro piece, or a poor man's self-refresh option for a WHM. That cure potency is the bread and most of the butter of that Noble's...
As far as WHM status piece goes, Noble's is not it.
Aristocrat's yespls!
Also El isn't sayin' his shit don't stink or tryina say that he's better than anyone else, but it is more commonplace and alot more conceivable for a WHM to have a Noble's in reach than they used to...
As for the easiest job in the game? It's not WHM.
Go find a DD job where you auto-attack and WS occasionally and any of those could be labeled the easiest.
You may not be doing the best job, but you're still doing what a DD is supposed to do by standing there on auto attack. WSing, using JA's wisely are what make the better DD's shine and show they're not just twiddling their thumbs. WHM's actually have to Cure once in a while yanno? So it's more than a stand-and-whiff job.
Ilu Kotsu.
I'm buzzed and goin' to bed.
Pls forgive if I'm jumping back and forth and kinda being confusing, I'm kinda confused myself.
Where's Kage when I'm drunk and confused about how the world turns? >_<;
/em locks his chastity belt and stumbles off to bed...

RK) of worth". 'Way back when' Hauby's were much more expensive, I bought the Sipahi chest and hands for 1/4 the cost of a Hauby. I've been pleased, and I'll out-crit and out-WS hauby-equipped WARs, and occasionally SAMs. I saved up and bought a Hauberk for 69, primarily because I'm closer to it now, I don't want the extra evasion- from a Haubergeon, and dammit; I like the way the Hauberk looks, and it's cheaper!
