    We're fine as long as they keep working more ways to obtain Refresh in this game.

    A few resist Silence job traits would be nice, though. >_>

      Silence oi >.< reminds me too much of Labyrinth of Onzozo levels. As for nin tanking, most i've seen use their ni elemental spells along with kurayami, hojo, dokumori and jubaku. But it's rare to see some use them at all too just cause the tools are too expensive. Most tools besides Shihei and Hyoton are like 25-30k a stack, which is the main reason i haven't finished lvling it as a sub ~.~ .... anyways, if the nin knows what their doing, has their spells and tools and uses them, theirs no reason a DD can't go all out like they normally would.
      Edit: This is assuming that no SATA has been used in the pty at all.

        I have TWO questions for SE:

        1) When will you make it so the delay between my keypress and something happening is IMMEDIATE and not leaving me guessing if I pressed the key or not?

        2) Where the heck are the GM's that you so proudly claim to have? I have played for nearly 3 years now (in november) and I have NEVER seen a GM. Run any other MMO, and they're all over the place, making sure that players don't cheat, and that they behave.

          You should know that Square-Enix only hires those trained in the art of Ninjutsu as GMs. You don't see them unless they want to be seen, and then BAM, you wake up and you're in Gaol.

            My first question, but hardly my last:

            Q: Will it be possible in the future to merit spell duration? Obviously not quadrupling the duration of spells, but small, but noticeable extensions in spell duration. It could be a really useful merit.

              When they reimplement the internet so things happen faster then the speed of light so that distances and lag between you and the servers are meaningless.

                Mhurron, get the fuck off the PS2, and try playing on a PC.


                There is a DEFINITE lag in keyboard controls, and ENTIRE MACRO FIRES can be lost MULTIPLE TIMES if you don't tap it repeatedly (and risk spamming your chatlog)


                The macro, and keyboard shortcut, system is BUGGED, and FREQUENTLY loses commands.


                If you haven't played on PC, don't comment on a VERY well known and common bug, if you have, you should know better.

                  That post Mhurron replied to seemed more about lag than about the delay from the time you press ALT or CTRL and the time the macro palet is displayed though.

                  But you are right, the delay and macro bugs need to be addressed, they are quite annoying.

                  (For those who don't play on PC, it's like a second of delay, in that time the macro wont respond so you kinda have to macro yourself to do something like "Press ALT, /wait 1, press the number")

                    Q. Why isn't it possible to install FFXI on a Mac yet? Mac's are starting to become more and more greater than PC's, and if I had the money i'd rather play on a Mac than a PC.

                        You know, this is just a thought (and you are of course free to disagree with me), but can we not make this thread about NIN vs. PLD? Can we also not make it about personal attacks on one another?

                        Kind of crazy, but I was hoping we could stay on the general topic of questions.

                        As a side note: I've never experienced significant delay with my macro palettes that would cause me to think that there was something wrong with the system. My macros go off just fine.

                          I know this is from left field, but try using this for your curative/restoration spells:

                          /ta <stpc>
                          /ma "Spellname" <lastst>

                          Even when people gear swap, the spell will go through. It works like a charm =)

                            I get that all the time. Sit/get up has a delay of about 1-2 seconds, depending on how much lag there is. When I want to use any macro, the only way to be sure of getting it fired, is to press and hold either CTRL or ALT and wait until the macro bar is up.

                            Lag is a whole other issue tho - like a SATA macro that skips some of the lines in it, but not all, or rendering delays due to high server load - that's not it though.

                                Video Capture or screenshot programs do not alter the way you play the game, so no. They don't violate the TOS.
