Gear doesn't make you. What you do and can do makes you. And you're BLM, so... sorry, you won't be getting an invite from Kulgan. The fact is, you want someone like me to invite you, because my values are different from Kulgan's. Do you see how this philosophy of supreme efficiency fails yet? If nobody can level BLM because reasons, then who's gonna nuke Nidhogg?
No, let's be real here. Gear and merits make you.
A well geared player just facing the mob and pushing a weaponskill button when they get 1k TP is going to outdamage someone with mediocre gear, playing the same job, making better use of their cooldowns, etc.
FFXI is a game where doing damage is more a matter of having the right gear than anything else. This isn't a game where you have some complex DPS rotation. You have some long cooldown job abilities, you have autoattacks, and you have weaponskills. You're not running around dodging mob abilities while trying to keep up a rotation. You're standing there autoattacking a mob and pushing a weaponskill macro.
Aaand, late to the game dude, AKA BIG BRO HALP HE'S BEING REALLY MEAN, hello.
As I told the other half-wit, slap a busload of HQ on an absolute newbie, and see what he does with it. And then see what I mean. And then shut the fuck up.
