What someone wants to do and what they should do are not the same, just because someone refuses to gear swap doesn't mean they shouldn't.

We have a drg in my dynamis shell hq heca body hands feet wyvern helm +1 conte legs dual triumph +1 flame ring+1. He refuses to gear swap 2 he is a joke of our shell his gear is nice for ws, but he is a joke overall.

Re: Full-Time Paladin Head

Paladin =/= Dragoon



When i prepare for a set situation (i.e subbing /nin or subbing /war) I'll pull out my static visual gear for that.

If i'm soloing yeah i can gear swap all i want because im only looking out for myself, but doing endgame mainly as Bard, and when im on my xbox360 without my keyboard (like alot of players are) it does suck to try to go through your menus or hit your Paralyna macro on a blinking tank because you'll end up casting it on yourself and your tank will get pissed at you.

Granted if your tanking is spamming "Paralyna Please" they shouldn't be blinking like a spotlight anyway.

It was an example. Basically Pld/Nin you should be using 2 pieces in head gear, hands, waist, etc. should be blinking for utsu cast and directly after, for most events. If you are tanking (so mainly anywhere but dynamis) The macro's on the main white mage should be entered with your name in them, that is just your support knowing what to do tho. Blinking doesn't hurt tanking if your support is good, at that is a big thing to tanking is having a great supporting class.

You need to teach your supporting cast about making tank macros. =P

I'd rather claw my brains out that write six paralyna macros and six cure macros for each blasted viable tier to my level, each time for any event. Can't bring myself to do it. My macros are too complex as it is.

But then, I can just AoE -na spells. Anyone who has to blink every five seconds and still needs a cure can just die

Re: Full-Time Paladin Head

When i do status heals (paralyna, silena, cursna) im not gonna make it JUST for the tank.

Say i do Paralyna, its going to be /ma "Paralyna" <stpc> so when everyone gets hit with a Paralyzga, i can get the tank first, then help everyone else out.

But when im trying to move a cursor over the tank and he blinks while i hit the macro im just going to do it to myself and waste precious mp and time ><

Well, not counting Sevvy's deficits on the reading comprehension department the Iron Ram Sallet is indeed a better piece than Adaman if you are planing on taking a long time getting the high end pieces you mentioned.

It would all depend on how long would that take and if you need to switch nations (or are already allied to Sandy's army) to see if it's worth the hassle for you. Edit : Also considering you wont be able to sell it after like with Adaman.


I'm actually starting to consider the thing since I'm unlikely to upgrade any PLD gear in a really long time.

I am talking endgame battles, more towards pld/nin. I can't say I ever blink on nin/drk unless it is for Fire resist for Tiamat or Damage reduction for terror.

Six tanks O.o

With a ps2/xbox360/controller for pc I have two macros for each -na, one for the tank and one for <t>. I got so use to the macro system that I actually have my <t> a set above and swap sets instantly =P

Win sir.

Also the fact it is great in a MDB/Resist set.

That and it's a very SMALL set (2 pieces), covering two slots that aren't normally that important to PLD anyway.

The headpiece is important, but the I R Sallet is comparable in quality to most of the other endgame Paladin headpieces, and more so in some circumstances - notably magic damage fights like Tiamat, Jormungand, Bahamut, Ouryu Cometh, and to a lesser extent things like Jailer of Faith.

Re: Full-Time Paladin Head

/sigh~ no claim on Fafnir again so no Aegishjalmer...

Doing Nyzul Isle tonight, hopefully to get some more floors towards my Askar head~

So i tried out the Walahra Turban as PLD/RDM and went to Castle Oztoja[S] with Omgwtfbbqkitten and his 54 Scholar, i buffed myself, protect/shell/stoneskin/aquaveil/etc,etc. And flashed a Yagudo Knight Templar, conned T++ to me, basically duo'd it down and got 120exp. I love that Haste, it helps with Flash alot so i can reapply SS and blink and Phalanx when i need to. Didn't help that the Yagudo Knight Templar had Zanshin (or double attack i couldnt tell) but still took it down no problem~ I gotta say though i cannot wait until Swift Belt for more Haste towards my /rdm and /nin setup.

Re: Full-Time Paladin Head

It honestly all depends on how you want to swing it Selphiie, I've never had the chance to play with anything higher than a 50drg and he's gone the way of the dodo, but if the need arises would it be possible to start the battle with the + emnity headgear then switch out to +haste for the battle? or would taking off the headgear act as a -emnity for the monster?

Sevv in your post you said Vit is broken, could you explain that a bit further?

I'm looking into leveling up my paladin here soon and trying to see which jobs I'd like to use for solo/duo with my girlfriend any recomendations?

In anything worth tanking stacking vit has little to no noticable effect. Working with enmity and haste builds provide a much more noticable effect in major tanking.
