I'm not an elite as many others who replied and I'm not sure who your target audience was in your post. It seems like FFXI is great end-game if you like playing caster jobs, cor and bard.

FFXI is about the journey, not the destination. This being said, only you can answer your own question my friend. If you're looking for anyone's opinion then I'd have to say that the FFXI (Nasomi) experience is only worth it if you're having fun with friends and awesome LS members. Without this, it feels like an empty shell ... for me anyways. I often find myself sitting in my mog house deciding on what to do when there are no events ... wasting time :)



Plenty of other jobs are viable too if you just don't act like Dashie while you're playing them.

Target audience was the folks that have either left and returned, or those that can give me an update about the folks that suddenly jumped ship a few months ago. Clearly there are those that are morons that want to stoke a fire and continue to get burned. But that's beside the point as a whole. Was, as a whole, pondering on coming back, almost certain I can get back into Endgame without too much hassle, or just go solo NMs people think have to be duo/trio/fullman'd or outright kited to do, the most fun I had was off-tanking as Rdm/Nin and soloing supposedly "kite only" NMs with a pair of swords in their throat.

wait.. who is getting burned? You said, in the OP, that you were concerned about getting back into end game because everyone, rightfully, believes you're one of the most annoying humans thats ever played on Nasomi. You've then went on for 3 pages being.. incredibly annoying with things like the above, and about how you seem to think you're the only one that has ever realized Goblins use Bomb Toss too much on this server.. Ignoring the factually wrong things about the elemental wheel, which are more just funny than anything else.

You had... average? gear. Slightly above average? Somewhere in that range. You think you're special because you do things less efficiently than everyone else, and don't realize you do them that way because no one likes you and thus you have to do things solo in a community-based game.

Christ.


edit: Since the start of this thread, I've had 4 people (from 3 EG LS) ask me to continue trolling you in hopes that you wouldn't play on Nasomi again. I go the other way, I consider intelligence to be relative. Having you around just makes a lot of other people look significantly better. Please come back and be the solo-god that you are in your head.

...Literally how stupid can you be, Wolf? Yes, that was a worry, no I didn't specify I wanted to know why people jumped ship because I expected people incapable of having an IQ above 80 to reply, lo and behold you did because you can't resist trying to troll 'cause who you hang around, so that's no surprise.

And no, I never once thought that Goblin Abuse was a "me only" thing, you again reading what isn't there as you normally do, which is real sad. Hell I've been playing on Eden and Goblins suicide bomb almost as much as they do on Nasomi. Sure makes shorter play sessions plausible when I can dualbox T-VT Goblins pre-40 for Chain3+s. But you're too afraid to try something that all the metasheep says is bad. Yeah, it's bad to melee Vrtra, that's actually stupid.

And my gear? I'm 3 items from BiS in both TP & my WS gear is nearly fully complete for melee, and all that is is HQ'ing my Dusk pieces and getting a V.Belt, 4% Haste isn't an absurd amount so was never high on my to-do list. Meanwhile my Enfeebling Set was 2 items from finished, all BiS'd, and my Enhancing Set can't be finished because the Augmenting Earring, ENM drop, is almost certainly still inaccessible. Your assumptions are adorable at best, and your knowledge is laughable. Tell me when you're capable of 10-13k/hr solo when no merit parties are lfg or are strapped on time due to irl stuff. And you're just sad and salty that I can do something "inefficient" fully efficiently, if not better in some cases. The only gear I haven't finished is my PDT-%/HNM Elemental Resistance gear. I'm otherwise nearly full BiS'd, most of which is either obscure gear or Tank-focused game.

And I'm deeply sorry you're part of the Endgame LS full of Metasheep that are solely stuck on playing purely only X Job for Y Event, the lack of trying to change it up is the most depressing thing about this all too, incapable of doing anything yourself, incapable of running anything that isn't "meta or gtfo." It's that mentality that ruins so much of the game, which allows such obscure and potent versatility, it boggles the mind that you, and your "EG LS" friends are too stupid to be capable of anything as such. But holy hell.

Guy was in an LS with Baldr(RIP to his forum takedowns) who had BiS Ninjutsu and would use it in situations it was viable. Still feels Ninjutsu was broken.


I'll say, Deft, that I not once ever saw Baldr break out Nin/Rdm or Nin/Blm. I've seen him on Nin, he does work, but not once did I literally ever saw him EleWheel Spamming for primary damage.

I was literally in discord with him when he was theory crafting the output of damage vs melee and when it would be better to use Ele Wheel or Melee. Coney and inside Jailers were 2 big ones he used Elewheel at. The reason he didn't use it everywhere is because it's like everything in this game, SITUATIONAL.

You literally said it was just you taking advantage of Goblin’s using Bomb Toss like... 2 pages ago. You’ve also said it would be hard and wouldn’t be hard to get back into endgame for you, in the same thread.

Shame to see you haven’t altered your go-to method of childish name calling when you start to get frustrated with people pointing out how wrong you are.

Also, I wasn’t referring to your melee RDM set rofl. You acted elitist about your RDM gear a few months ago, and then we all came and checked you at KB and had a good laugh. Ooft.

I’m down for trying many things that aren’t considered meta on kills, they just seem to increase exponentially in the success department if you’re not around.

You solo’ing 10k an hour XP is great... it’s never crossed my mind though. I just generally find a few friends and do 4-5x that because I’m playing FFXI and actually have friends that aren’t furries wanting to fuck sheep.

One thing I can 100% confirm: Dashie didn’t sell his account.

Coney and Jailers were 2 big ones he used Elewheel at. The reason he didn't use it everywhere is because it's like everything in this game, SITUATIONAL.


Now before you get your own panties in a twist;
First off, Coney's a unique problem in of itself and imo should not be used as a "parse capable target" and in of itself is such an obscure creature that changes like PW does and, at the time I was still around, was just a crazy shapeshifting rabbit. As for "jailers", plural as you put it, I disagree on a couple but understand for others. My issue as a whole is the literal forced requirement of "Chat Staff or you can't land shit" vs Dual Katanas spellweaving because your Auto-Attack Delay is not reset/delayed when casting, which was literally the only reason I could do the solo shit I've done.

Secondly, the overarching issue with Ninjutsu was the high resist rates in the sake of "If you don't have this specific item" because yes, with Chat Staff, you can get nearly every cast unresisted, but second you break out the Katanas again, you're resisted half the time. Almost like Chat's absurd M.Acc boost does so much. Yet solo'ing VT-ITs, and watching my full wheel get resisted on at least 4 casts is heartbreaking when I shouldn't be getting absurd resisted with capped Ninjutsu and a fuckton of INT+ gear and maxed INT merits. Low End ITs + Mid VTs should absolutely not have a 60% resist rate on everything. I've brought this up before, and have done days worth of testing as a whole whilst leveling Ninja. I killed shit much faster and did much more overall just auto'ing and casting Utsu instead of full EleWheel rotation with Autos weaved in between. Sure, Chat does a lot of work, but it's dumb that you're heavily gimped without it when in era retail I had literally no issue rotating full EleWheel without corresponding EleStaves to make up for the "Why am I being resisted out the ass???"

I expected this sort of shit as a whole, maybe I should come back just to spite the haters. <3
Specifically, and maybe I should drop LS and Player names at this point, but those whom dislike me 'cause I'm abrasive as shit but the truth is painful when it's right. Stop hating on "waaaaah, it's not meta though, waaaaaah" mentality. Maybe give something weird an actual shot, it's almost like it actually works

Sassy child, you really don't fully understand, that's so cute. I'm not flipflopping on my statements, but someone with an IQ above 80 would understand that. And as for the laugh, what "bad gear' did I have? Was I Rdm/Nin geared in Full Melee? Was I Rdm/Blm? I have borderline BiS for Enfeebles, fuck I have nearly BiS for NUKES as a Goddess damned Red Mage, where my Elemental Magic Skill is equivalent to my Sword AND Dagger skills. Maybe you should to some real research. On top of such, the "solo'ing" bit is, as I stated, due to limited time or bored and waiting on something or someone. I act "elitest" as a Rdm because I don't idle in my enfeeble/etc gear? I idle in Melee Gear 'cause I can? Or I idle in gear that is, well, GOOD for idling? Maybe you should do a little research of your own? Maybe you should look into things on your own? Maybe give it a shot, on your own? Have you ever thought for yourself? Because it's obvious you're incapable of thinking for yourself Wolf.
