This job is too easy.

Re: This job is too easy.

Are we contributing to the argument or are we repeating what Feba and Mog have already said?

EDIT: Oh, no, don't get me wrong. I'm talking from level 20 until burn parties. NIN/DRK is a fine tank, as is PLD/NIN. Both keep hate very well.

It's not as though PLD needs help with invites. Or soloability. Or endgame (or mid-game) viability. They aren't super fantastic with the shield blocking though so suddenly we should feel give them a new spell that gives just over 50% shield activation normally?

Re: Reprisal

If the world was as cut and dry as you made it, BBQ would be right. All The Time.

Just because your opinion and my opinion on RDM melee differs isn't a valid reason to bring me into this. NIN vs. PLD which is an argument I'll never get into. Both jobs have thier own merits, but when it come to keeping hate, PLD is king and always will be.

Re: Reprisal

It has been proven that NIN/DRK tanks can reach one of the enmity caps before Paladin. Though NIN/DRK is more risky. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Re: Reprisal

BBQ, that's a conversation I'd rather take to PMs, honestly.

Re: Reprisal

So then what the hell are you complaining about?

edit: Damn you Armando.

Re: Reprisal

Tanking before merits.

Re: Reprisal

The funny thing about Raitox's original statement is that
1) Tanking has never been rocket science, and
2) 99% of the PLDs I've seen in Midgard manage to fail at it even though it's easy.

Re: Reprisal

A good PLD/NIN > A good NIN > A good PLD > A shitty PLD > A shitty NIN

I am done.

Fixed.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I've been a NIN for longer than most ppl have played this game. I'm old school, no exp chain bonus, no exp ring, no fast kill meripo, no haste setup, full evasion gear sata+mb type of NIN but when you see how strong and versatile a well equipped pld/nin can be, you start thinking wow, that shit is pretty ridiculous.

If I could have a pld/nin at my disposal for all the lowman stuff I do, I'd never bother with a large ls ever again.

taru edit: sorry tm, posted while you were posting. feel free to move me.

This is a pretty pathetic rebuttal.

Re: This job is too easy.

It's about on par on the treatment you guys have been given to me. And... you can't say it isn't true.

Re: This job is too easy.

Are you really surprised you got flamed after posting flamebait?

[Raitox]

Re: This job is too easy.

No. But I figured I could sink to a lower level.

I disagree. 85% maybe but 99% absolutely not. But yes, the majority do. I know quite a few skilled tanks, some of which are in my ls.

TGM, you should know that 72% of all statistics are made up on the spot!

Also, hyperbole helps emphasize.

It isn't, and I can.
