Voidwatch: Dumb/Annoying things people do.Follow

Please add:

People that say in party "Finally Mob XYZ dropped the <rarest to obtain item>" when they have fought XYZ less than several hundred times. If you're 1/100, "finally" doesn't apply. Be glad you got lucky. There are those of us that were fighting it before you beat your first VWNM and still are. For example, 3 phasmida belts in 220 Kaggen kills. Zero bodies.

Better yet, just don't comment at all about your items in PUGs. No one cares.

This is coming from common people that are now shouting on Valefor server.

-People asking to have 3 "correct" level 15 atmacites even for easy mobs like kaggen or akvan now. If you have discipline at 15 it doesn't count to them.

-People requesting to do 6 of x VNM because they've cleared all zones and they make sure all of Port Jeuno knows about it.

-Inviting a lvl 85 masa sam that does fudo at 300 tp at the start of the fight, pops a wing and sekkanokis/shohas 2 times > meditate shoha when he can. Fudo usally does <2K damage, and 2-3K depending on the mob for shoha.

A level 99 tp bonus GK can Sekkanoki shoha>shoha, pop wings shoha, meditate and spam shoha from there on out. With the right atmacites a sam can have +200tp bonus, so at 100tp he really has 300tp which gives a 2.65 multiplier. At 100 tp if there is a noob masa sam with no tp bonus at all, he gets a 1.375 multiplier. This add up (in the short term fights, not long drawn out ones) that the 99 TP bonus gk is better and people fail to get the stick out of their butt and realise this simple fact.

-Ukko wars that only spam ukko's furry when there are several other procs on other weapons that could be done. Literally can have a HV GA proc and the only war in the group doesn't respond to chat at all during the whole fight and spams only ukko's, dies, then cries in pt that we need procs.

-Several people that can proc x spell/ws/job ability. One guy procs it, doesn't say he proced it and others still go for it.

Well for that matter give DRK Bio 3 already, or Bio 4 so you can Tanakabalance it and make the mana cost horrendous, and let SCH dig into higher tiers of Dia/Bio too (screw WHM having Dia 3, I agree they have their own advantages, or give RDM tier 4+).

I feel like a few jobs have been shorted on certain spells because of Merits associated with them. This didn't stop them giving native Protect V and Shell V to non-WHM though, just not in -ra form.

So yeah, they could keep them procs and just remove the strange exclusivity to certain jobs and let DRK or especially SCH have a few extra.

But it is the way it is, and it is the only way RDM can even sniff a VW ally. Have the merit spells or come on something else.

Also:

-You can add Addle to the list of things you shouldn't cast unless it is a weakness.
-Not starting with the lowest tier of debuffs (i.e. casting Dia II before Diaga).
-Hitting the NM with a NQ proc while it is staggered instead of HQing it.
-Not HQing a fast and easy proc (such as Chi Blast).
-Not being able to stun Death Prophet even though it is the easiest thing to stun in the game.
-Mages facing Akvan.

Oh, so RDMs are expected to neuter their merit build to do VW? That's swell, but not everyone is going to be on the same page as you.

My beef here is with the designers, not other players. If this irritates you so much, ask your RDMs if they have the spells before you invite them.

Uh, why? :/

Wouldn't a longer spellcasting time make it easier to land timed staggers?

If they want to come RDM then they really should have the unique RDM procs, otherwise not much is bring brought to the table.


If it comes up as a trigger, you can't reapply it until it wears. In my experience it's generally not advisable to debuff NMs because you're riding fanatics anyway. It may be that I suck, but I have a much easier time staggering mobs during TP moves than during spells.

My temper doesn't make others any less of a douchebag.

Particularly the folks who still need to put some serious basic work into the rest of their builds and that rare drop is something they probably don't know how to use well.

Just sayin'...

Nope. They're potentially good spells (but not even against everything, since they gradually made many things either immune to the enfeebles or pointless because they spam TP moves anyway), but they are not no-brainers because RDM has too many alternatives and styles of play.



Actually I think it rather sucks that NIN can't max NTE and keep the whole San wheel.

I'd care more if I actually cared about lollogwatch, though.

Still think that either the merit category caps need to be lifted or merit abilities as procs need to be done away with, but it's not like I'm going to close my account if they don't.

"Finally got my drop" is more offensive than "Glad I got these. Lucky me"
What?
So mad... so mad...

A lot of time, it's about coming for win and got all the rare stuff.
SpoilerJust like my Gaunab and Kalasutrax

For me it boils down to only a few anoyances.

in no real order it comes down to, I hate;

1. People bringing one BLU, and then complain endlessly he isnt proc'ing because he needs to constantly reset spells.

2. People see that someone has a LOT of jobs at 99, dont ask which is their best job or what he wants to go as most, but instead make him go on an un(der)geared, spell missing, and hateful job.

3. People actually deciding "screw it" and actually going as said naked, half spell list mage without just saying so.

4. People who decide their only strategy is to not have a strategy. Random jobs PUG, no planning ahead for triggers, and simply shouting "kill kill kill" the entire fight.

5. Leaders not knowing spell procs. It's HV Darkness Black Magic. They see a DRK cast down the lines of Absorbs, and they start shouting and cursing why he isnt casting any proc spells, borderline getting kicked.

yeah I've had one of those. I was like "dude we don't care that you have an emp sword. Please just focus"

And he also was the guy that had NO past maws or warps at all, even though we were doing a city climb, like wtf? So we all stood around waiting for him constantly.

I don't really see why people expect Almace to transform BLU. You're still a spellcaster. Now, a spellcaster with a fancier weapon, but the lions share of the job (and your damage) is still going to be spells.

That said, I hate proccing on BLU. This is mostly because SE decided to choose the most useless, set-point intensive spells as procs. I know they love their 'symmetrical elements', but ffs, would it kill them to let us proc with Benthic Typhoon, Quad. Continuum, Delta Thrust, Disseverment, literally anything that someone might actually want to cast?

Nope, can't do that. But I can give you a 5 set point spell that does 50 damage and costs 400 MP, while providing no useful traits. Also, you have to set a lot of them. Sounds like fun, right?

I would have had sympathy, but the blu made a point of bragging about his emp, demanded I sing different songs for him (I was giving mp to mages/smn and minuet to ranger) yet stood in among the mages and then made us all wait because he didn't have maws...

Hell if he had been a job that relies on TP to proc, I would be happy to do three different rotations, but he was an elitist dick who happened to also suck and make us all wait for him, and his damage wasn't needed anyway... so... yeah

I did the rotation but man he annoyed me.

BLU can be beastly but is highly dependent on subjob and JT selection. People also have unrealistic expectations of a BLU, BLU's are not BLMS / BRD / NIN's, they can't cast any of their spells whenever they want. A BLU/RDM wearing a staff and mage gear can set, at most, half of the proc spells. If there isn't a BLU proc then he's effectively contributing a big fat goose egg, if the BLU proc is only a V then he's contributing exactly 4s of pause and a chance at one random temp, otherwise a big fat goose egg. These BLU's are actually the worst kind because technically speaking, you'd be better off kicking them and inviting another BRD / COR / BLM / SCH or even a RDM to the alliance. Capping lights is piss easy, proc one or two HV's and the melee damage alone will cap out lights from the blitz bonus. Thus procing often and fast is what matters and one BLU can't do that even if that's all they do, you need at least two BLU's which would require you to sacrifice another slot that could be something like a COR / BRD / NIN / SAM / DRK / WAR / ect. In either situation the BLU needs to be doing damage and spamming temps / WS's, they would build more light from their damage during stagger then during the rare occasion of a HV / EV proc. And should that HV / EV BLU proc appear, their is a 50% chance the useless staff wielding BLU/RDM would of had to reset spells where as the BLU/WAR can set DWIII and still have room for three full elements so 62.5% chance of having to reset while also dealing damage and building lights during blitz.

So yeah, it's a lose / lose situation. A well built BLU that can tear things up will most likely have to set procs during the fight if it's EV / HV and get yelled at for it. A crap BLU will also have to set procs during the fight yet because their not swinging a sword nobody says anything about it. SE needs to fix that sh!t like yesterday.

Can set spells while you melee... I don't see what the problem is?
