Going AFK In Abyssea Parties

No no lol i mean the damn cliff that mob climb with no problem, but all DD have to take the long path bc blm not just jumping down with the mob.

Anyway i also don't understand BLM sometime, They ready to nuke 10 mile away thinking that will save them if they get hate, some even running more after having hate....

But you take these SAME BLM in dynamis, then they sleepga II 10x mob and stand next to them and die as soon they awake.

Funny how ppl acting sometime, but anyway...

I agree with this, though i think it's for different reasons.

People who have to tend to thier kids every 15 minutes drive me up the *** wall. That said, it's not bothering me that they are interacting with their kid every 15 minutes in an abyssea party.

It's bothering me that they have a kid at an age that needs that much care and attention, and they are in an abyssea party.

I'm not perfect, but i do know i am the way i am today because my mom paid attention to me, read to me constantly, answered my incessant questions or brought me books where i could find the answer, and encouraged my curiosity even when it tended to drain her time.

I can't imagine how i would have turned out had i been neglected in favor of a videogame, and i really shudder to think of the fate of those kids who are being ignored.

I think that having kids is a commitment to growing up a bit. They are incredibly time-consuming, and that means it's time to leave some other time consuming things, like MMO's, behind

@Sevourn, I so agree on that.

If I feel I'm doing the majority of the work, I'll either rep out or afk for a bit.

For example, my last party. I was doing 29% of the alliance dmg on lv 75 drg (when the rest of the dds were 80-85).

2nd place was 14%.

So after a while I just played smash bros w/ scruffy from the smash bros thread and when the 2nd place caught up to equal my dmg output, I started again.

I when DDs can't pull their own weight. Makes me not want to work hard, so I'm not dragging their ***

and if I'm on a job that's 85 and only for merits, not lv'ing up, given the same situation, I just leave.

Sounds like a perfect rule book to me!

DRG lv75 doing 29% dmg, that terrible, i bet you have 6 mage curring you, or you a super DRG i never meet.

Don't you think shuting down that parser would help you to enjoy more the game/Abyssea PT?

Idk the dmg of your DRG @ lv75, all i know is when i did mine from 75 to 85 it was not that great DMG, (not 29% of total dmg of my alliance...) for sure something was REAL wrong with your abyssea pt.

Even if you average 10 DD @ 300 dmg per WS that still 3k dmg, and we not talking about BLM dmg here, nor the normal HIT dmg form each DD. You sure your parser is even working correctly?

FYI, doing 3k Drakesbane isn't unrealistic.

Seconded, all in favor of the new bible?

And as to drakesbane damage, it's completely normal with Razed Ruins atma for one to get above 4000 drakebanes, granted the numbers vary, but what critical multi hit weaponskills don't.

New guy to the Forum ehh?

Inc fun.

Yes, the parser works correctly. I was just the only person in the party with Razed ruin and Voracious Violet

ok yes even 4~5k is possible, but @ 75? and this is just WS dmg, like i said you also forget blm dmg and normal mele hit. Idk man, something is real wrong if you a DRK 75 and do 29% of dmg, no matter your gear man, must be one of these super lame zombie PT with 6 leecher. Of course at that point i would have warped out instant, even without parser, bc at this point you can't miss that kind of failure.

I agree.

That being said I have 2 kids and still play almost every night.

I just wait for them to go to bed before I log on. Maybe I am no better.

Well, we had a bunch of failures. For example, a drk that TP'd in Varangian Helm, a pup that averaged 450 on stringing pummel, ppl with ***for haste gear, etc.

Was a soggy ***sandwich poor excuse of a party.

oh dear lord

Razed ruin and Voracious Violet Oh boy.... here we go the new incoming standard to play FFXI...

I mean dude, wtf, don't blame ppl for not having that stuff.... would be like me telling you your DRG was ***bc i have relic. common wtf ppl.. Be proud of it instead and just do what they invited you for i mean jeez...

Or don't you ever think about doing a 6 man PT with these ATMAS instead joining the normal abyssea pt?

O.o? A 2nd new poster to call out Tiger?

Inc fun x2.

Why would he? it's the same as joining a party full of Ebody(lol) wars/drks etc vs... full perle wars with NO gearswaps Blms freeze2 which lands for 300...

At the end of the day it pays to be GOOD (lol)

RR and VV atma are not hard to get.

Not having them would be like showing up naked to a bird merit party back in the day. That's how good they are.

As snick said... VV...farm Aby-Kon with your friends for afew hours farm gold chests get key items pop EE ??? profit. just shows you how lazy/clueless people are >.>

casuals QQing at tiger is a pretty regular occurrence

it's pretty much the ffxiah national pastime

And Pulverizer pop can be farmed with a trio, probably duo (Idk a LSmate of mine tri boxed our pop and told me he was browsing BG while fighting both NMs)

First of all, they're both pretty easy to get and are *** amazing. Just one of the two atma are better than those combat skills, job abilities, stats you are meriting, so why merit over atma collecting, if you don't already have good ones?

Second, no, you don't 100% need it, but I shouldn't be doing 30% of the alliance dmg (not even counting my wyvern) at lv 75 drg, when I'm the only person under lv 80 in the entire alliance.

This

i didn't see him blaming anyone for not having it

that said, i won't join a pickup on my war until i have them both

Like, to really get an idea how shitty you are without RR/VV atma, I am pretty sure I could go WHM/NIN to a shout group and out DD the rest of the alliance (Unless of course there is someone else there who actually know what he/she is doing)

And my WHM melee set(s) are ***.

May I am getting soft? Maybe it's because Tiger isn't posting as much? I don't know but I forgot about how many QQ'd at him.

I appologize.
