What the hell is wrong with you people...[rant]Follow

Well, my mom always told me never to stir up a hornets nest. I should have known better.

It would appear the SC chart I have is incorrect. I apologize for the erroneous information. (Although rather than being a little **** about it Celestia, you COULD direct me to a more accurate one. Unless of course you really are just malicious.)

But the fact still remains that until someone shows some parser stats, opinions based on experience matter very little, and are less likely to be taken seriously when coming from players who've taken the time to reach very high levels, but never taken the time to learn how to be polite mature adults.

And I find it sad that the Hotuken Knights receive representation such as this on the allakhazam forums. I truely hope it isn't representative of that LS as a whole.

In any event, I'm going to attempt to bow out of this thread. I said it made me sick, and that opinion has not changed, except for the worse.

Why would I make a post like this?
Because it stirs up debate and debate is fun.

As far as gimpage my DRG is totally pimped out with all my
equipment upated to 20 with +1 items, (check me in-game if you really wanna see) Woot!!!

Anyway I guess we can successfully consider

Thread Closed ?
or is it?

Thank you for the apology Celestia. I appreciate it. Enough so that 1) I admit lack of sleep and the day I had yesterday caused me to be more caustic in my reply than was warranted, and 2) I redact my comments in my last post, insofar as they shed a poor light on Celestia and her LS. I will leave them up though, to maintain the fidelity of the conversation for late-comers to the thread.

Honestly though, this really isn't worth anyone getting angry over, a long-standing point of mine which is no less true for me being hypocritical and getting angry too.

Oh, and if your curious, the day I had yesterday amounted to my Gamecube getting burnt out by a power surge (barring me from playing Metroid Prime 2 /cry ) and a lightbulb exploding in my face, cutting me up.

Final note:

Actually my SC chart is perfectly accurate, its just that I'm retarded. Howling Fist can open Distortion.

You know what the chart's like. You can look at it for hours and still miss something. =P

Regarding Light and Darkness renkei, my brain had entered shutdown mode at this point and I magically forgot how they worked. Now that my brain is working again, I ammend myself. Any weapon (as far as I can tell) can partake in SC3s. Provided that your brain works better than mine. =P

My .02gil:
Drg are a decent damage dealer. I think the big reason people say the do "mediocre" damage is because they aren't adding in the damage the Wyvren is doing (I don't know how much this is, I have the filter on). They don't do "OMG!" damage that often and since the nerf of penta thrust it's been sort of bleh for drgs. They work best in a party with a nin and a thf, being they are the best trick buddy ever. I have played with some decent drgs in my time (Zariko was one of them).
I saw the mnk say something along the lines of "if you can't lvl off undead what good are you." Mnks says this alot, because mnks can hit undead for good damage. I'm a rng, I deal crap damage to undead even with the addition of Bodkin arrows, hit-for-hit I'm doing to be consistantly outdone by a mnk against bones and ghost types.
All said, I'm not a big fan of drgs. Reasons have already been said (skillchain, without thf they are kinda gimpy in their job abilities etc).

Bsts: around lvl 55 I was in a PT with a BST for the first time, he was a great puller, and worked skillchains really well. Dealt damage almost equal to what the warrior was putting out and that wasn't including what the pet put out. So, if BSTs actually want to go for the 6 man party set up (and I've learned that a minority actually do) I think they are welcome.

damn.....



what ever happened to the sense of adventuring that this game was supposed to be about?

Oh no, I love to do that, but it's kinda hard to adventure when you're in an xp pt. >.> Which is why when I do want to experience, I want to get the most out of it. I like to xp for awhile, set a goal to reach a certain level, then I take a break and go adventuring, crafting, missions, etc. I tend to enjoy myself more when I'm in a good xp pt that's getting a nice flow of xp. Doesn't mean I won't xp with a DRG, heck I was in a pt with one for 4 hours last night (not a good experience by the way, for various reasons).
