What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Wait, I was under the impression that Decimation was one of the better ones?

Then again, it is probably horridly out-classed nowadays. I'm just saying that it looked like a pretty cool thing for my now Axe-wielding Fellow to use when I eat one of her Home-made food items.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

WSNM weapon skills are primarily used for blue proccing these days, although most of the time people wait until blunt hour for the simplicity of only requiring a monk and white mage whereas other hours require multiple jobs to have every weapon type and skill covered. I always unlock every skill for the completion/OCD mentality though I rarely use them (Evisceration being one of the oddities); I recently got warrior up to 99 and geared, so I'm spending time capping every weapon skill for the sake of red/blue proccing and being able to hit reliably.

In terms of Savage Blade, it's still useful for Blue Mages when they use chain affinity for opening self-SC's; However much of current XI's problem with Paladin does not lie within Savage Blade, or any weapon skill in particular. I'd argue Paladin has become the more expensive class to level, for the simple fact that if you're wanting to participate in 'end-game' (I mean, beyond Abyssea) most people expect the resident Paladin to come with an O-Chain or Aegis, along with preferably an Alamace (I presume Excalibur is viable, but I don't see many of those nowadays). I'm not saying the newcomer Aurore-pink Ninja or Monk won't be laughed at, but they tend to get away easier these days than a fresh Paladin that just reached 99.

I wasn't saying that Savage Blade was one of Paladin's shortcomings (it has much more significant shortcomings than that, at any rate). I was merely stating that a Paladin can usually do better than Savage Blade.

As you mentioned, Blue Mage is probably the job that has the most excuse to bother getting it.

No Decimation isnt great…was never comparable to Rampage.
And now it’s pretty much Ruinator or GTFO

Onslaught is 'ok'...i wish it was a little better though

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Judging by the fact that the highest-leveled job in your signature is Paladin, I'll be assuming that you're using that when I say that Savage Blade is a huge waste of time. It's pretty much just Fast Blade 2.0. If you want to do a cool jumping animation, go use Uriel Blade in Campaign (itself almost strictly inferior to Glory Slash . . .).

Of course, you could just be unlocking it because you want to kill time and have nothing better to do on your hands. If that were the case, though, getting frustrated over it totally defeats the purpose.

I got it and wish I read this before getting it. It really wasn't worth the frustration >:I

Peeve: Savage Blade.

I just realised I could only carry one Unlit Lantern. Those three hours suddenly feel wasted (I got one on the first kill).

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I told you…I wanna dual wield Twashtars. Still got at least 100 more shells to go

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

He's probably not nearly as bad if you aren't sitting there slowly watching the shell counter.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

ha, naw it's bad. Aside from randomly helping with kills for other people, i think i'm done farming Glav sets after you're done.

Although ^^. I'm going to be farming Chloris still and i hate that stuff going to waste. Us 3 (you/me/rook) should be able to make a couple bucks selling shells. those sometimes go for big money...which im sure you can see why.

Oh god... can you actually do that? As long as one is 85 and the other is 90?

[Romyro]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

lol no you cant. wouldnt be able to get the 80 version if you had a 85/90/95/99 version.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Good... good.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Rare tags look at the name of the item. 80-99, it's still named "Twashtar." The reason that trick works for the OAX weapons is because you can have one named, say, Khadga, and another named Khanda +3.
