Any main BLM should feel same way!

That would be like saying any main RDM would be offended that they might have to alter their T2 merits.

Honestly if I were to consider myself a 'main' something, it would be because when I played that job, I fulfilled the role more completely than was desired, and that I alone could perform any service required.

I kinda feel the same way as starkzz here, I was kinda excited to start doing voidwatch at some point on SMN, but after realising I would need to alter my merit BPs so I had them all for procs it put me off a bit :(

Why would you go to Voidwatch on BLM if you didn't have all potential triggers?

No one cares about your uber Burst II MB, you're there to help make stuff drop.

background checking relevant at this time and age on ffxi ? voidwatch it's a random lot system, not like 2006 ziart/toa era that takes 1 -2 years of ls events/socialize/kissing ls leadership butt to get a dalmy, assuming people wont even bother equiping that "voidwatch" only shell 100% of the time, the entire requirements are a lil exaggerated, i don't think anyone post on bg anymore anyways. any formal linkshell stuff atm is dull, the game is on easy mode atm, most people don't even need a linkshell. unless your a starter.

I think the bigger question is how often would you use Am 2 for just pure damage. Tier 5 counterparts do more damage albiet more MP, but i my self hardly use Am2 unless i'm just mindlessy nuking with no content for human safety or my MP.

LS looks interesting. but some things just look like drama bait...and i have had enough of that. Yes i know you say "no drama" but so has previously Lss and they all proved that wrong by providing it through thier greed.

Well, when ya comes to the kill, I know I use them, dmg isn't massively far behind and the just gets the job done faster, w/ a good mp rest set, meds/vert ect mp isn't too much of an issue. The teirII jeuno SW VWNM was very good to smash down fast w/ BLMs going nuts tho, fanatics > blast it > ??? > profit. But yeah, that guy can be awful w/ those up to 3k disgorges.

I'm just curious what you mean. I don't take any personal offense to it, but I'm just not entirely sure where we may have left room for drama. Maybe I was unclear somewhere?

Spellcast, and/or Windower Scripts are highly recommended; No one will be cut slack because they are working with inferior macros.

This part had me really curious as to what you expect out of applicants are you saying people who don't use this will be secretly critized? i personaly don't use spellcast because i have a way of playing this and it has worked for me with no issues.

But that comment was primarly directed towards what LSs turn to when it comes to drops and who gets what, think back to HNM days and you will get my point. i am not saying you are. but it's just a general statment.

Generally people who utilize SpellCast or Windower scripts are better players because they swap gear efficiently. To do it through just normal macros requires people to press like 20billion buttons if they want to precast/midcast gear, and you can't fit all the gear in one button either. For example, SMN. Someone with SpellCast will have a -BP timer down for their precast, and then potency for their midcast. To do this manually you'd have to have the -BP timer gear on the macro that initiates the spell, then in the middle of the animation press another button. It's a whole lot of button pressing, and most people will refuse to do this. Not saying it can't be done, but I don't understand why people put themselves through this.

You can't really be greedy in Voidwatch due to the loot system. I suppose you could only spam 1NM over and over again, but I don't think this shell would do that unless everyone wanted to.

Yea, voidwatch fixed that thankfull, but already people are complaing about how loot is distibuted anyway, but they did say they really don't do anything else outside voidwatch, so no real problem there, however. ONLY voidwatch? seems it will get boring fast, if people don't pull thier hair out from the stinginess of voidwatch.

It doesn't really bother me if people choose to use scripts over Spellcast, and no it does not mean people are going to be laughed at behind their backs. All we're saying is that we expect the same performance and gear swaps from people regardless of what they use. If someone plays on PC but decides to use normal 6-line macros, that's fine if that's what they want, but it's not an excuse for not gear swapping properly. They'll still be held to the same standards as everyone else.

As for drop drama, considering all of Voidwatch's drops come in the form of personal chests, I'm not entirely sure how drop drama could become an issue. While it's always annoying to see a White Mage mule walk away with a nice R/EX melee body piece, it's not like people are dealing with points, lines, or loot councils either. The way I see it, Voidwatch drops are about as drama-free as they come. That's part of what I love about it.

Edit because I post slowly: The linkshell as an entity doesn't do anything outside of Voidwatch. The people in it do, though. If people want stuff to do during their free time, they're always welcome to team up with one another and ourselves to do pretty much anything. It simply wouldn't be "regulated" by the linkshell. Free time is free time. Personally, I think Voidwatch is a lot of fun, so I'm not in much danger of getting bored myself.

Every other event in the game can be done with a small group of friends, so I'm not surprised it's only Voidwatch tbh. I only do Einherjar and Voidwatch with a shell. :x
