The indefensible SJ for two-handers.

Re: The indefensible SJ for two-handers.

You can't pop a Jump and "hold it in" for 3 minutes just so you can let it loose when the timer is ready again. You can't pop your TP and put your WS on hold 'til it's ready again and do two WS in a row.

I had to stop reading here because I couldn't think of anything but poopy.

The crap that I kept seeing go back and forth is "this is a PUG you cant trust people in PUGs" The problem with this mentality is that it facilitates the lack of skill you all are complaining about.. you let them suck and you change tactics to compensate. THAT is the problem.

I like this a lot. It's true. But then, the real reason I lost interest in playing FFXI is because I was tired of always trying to kindly tell everyone how to do their jobs. I hate to be that guy but damn fuck ass shit. They just don't know what the hell they're doing! And they're happy that way because they just want 75. And when they're 75, they just want the uber merit combination they read about.

I'm leaving! (in my best Ruby Rod voice)

Re: The indefensible SJ for two-handers.

sure its possible.. but how often does it happen?

Obviously a lot more often than you think if you're asking this. Again, 93.33% of all Ichi -> Ichi attempts should succeed. You don't need to cancel shadows to do Ichi to Ichi, and you can cast it at just about any point between the mob's 2nd and 3rd attacks without any sort of timing. No more difficult than a skillchain and anyone with more than 1 brain cell to rub together knows that skillchaining isn't difficult. Lolibri don't even have Double Attack to screw you up, so the only reason why it would go wrong is if the mob happened to TP while looking at you and out of its 3 TP moves it happened to pick Pecking Flurry. And blocking a Pecking Flurry or a good part of it arguably still gets the job done since it hits harder than normal attacks.

Have you never used /NIN or seen /NIN being properly used or something?
