As a 75 pld that tanks all of that stuff, I think you're all full of ***and being quite the elitist little douche hats.


Tanks all of what stuff i wonder? Looking at the titles you have earned all you are tanking is sky and dyna. And yes it doesnt take a lot off effort knowledge or even skill ups to tank in sky/dyna. I think/assume that most of the people in this thread that are trying to argue a very valid point are referring to tanking much harder things that take a lot more time/practice/skill/gear than just hitting a sentinal/voke/rampart macro. And even saying that I have seen more than my fair share of people who cant even figure that out. i.e. not saving sentinal for mnk mobs or rampart for rdm or blm. So ya its not that hard. But you still gotta know how to do it.

The title clearly states that Alice was asking for help with gear. People decided to make the thread about something else.

This is the last thing I say in this thread because it is no longer about the intended subject.

I play this game to have fun. The entire reason i took the time to level PLD research the job and learn to do it right is because its no fun to constantly lose events because you have a horrific tank. It has nothing to do with taking it too seriously. It has everything to do with not wanting to waste my time. If i didnt care at all why even play. I could think of a few hundered other things i could do with my time. I choose to do this so may as well do it right.

The day I saw the Huge *** Xml codes for windower >.> that ***is hardcore to me lol
Making some decent or good mage macro is a mindfuck sometimes

I don't see casual players having fun in FF imo, you can lvl as much as you can but 1 day you will have to do endgame or there isn't much left to do

I'll second that QFT.

I love spellcast xml though. Once you get it set up, you can focus on playing the game instead of constant gearswaps.

Why play a GAME if you're not having fun? Why play something that's more of a 'job' than your actual job? And end-game isn't fun?

Only the link I used for the PLD xml. There is user submitted XML for all of the jobs here:

http://wiki.windower.net/plugins/spellcast/userxml

I really don't know anything about xml at all. What I did was to pick a file i liked, then where it said "tp" for example, i just plugged in my tp gear where his tp gear used to be, for "ws," i plugged in my weaponskill gear, and so on and so forth. When you install the plugin in windower, it automatically creates a new folder inside your plugins folder, called spellcast. that's where you put the xml file after you replace their gear with your gear. You can edit the xml files in notepad.

I gave you my advice on paladin gear earlier in the thread. If you feel that I fail for doing everything I can to be the best paladin I can be, you are welcome to your opinion. I try to do as well as I can so my friends and lsmates don't die, and so i can assist them in getting the gear they want. If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.^^

A funny sidenote, i actually learned about spellcast by reading a thread QQing about how everyone using it was scum. So if you want to expose more people to the existence of spellcast, by all means please keep bumping the thread to the top by complaining about it! XD

so it went from PLD gear to SMN burn lol

imo smn burn is no difference than leveling thru campaign battle, only faster. I got 2 friends that got 4-5 jobs to 75 by doing campaign 24/7, and im sure they're not the only ones.

But no one complains about ppl leveling that way, even though their skills are no better than smn burned jobs.

on the other hand though, would you want a smn burned rdm 75 to take care of the sleeps in i.e dynamis?

Meh, exping is tedious enough. If you wanna rush it, be my guest. I couldn't fault you for it... it is by far the worst part of the game, especially the late 60s etc. Some jobs like PLD don't tend to get particularly good invites, especially 70+.

Yeah, you'll be missing some skills you pick up from levelling but you now have a lot of time left over to learn them and then some :D

PLD tanking in endgame is completely different to exp anyway unless you're /war for some reason. As long as you're a reasonably intelligent player, it's not gonna make you terrible in the long run.

I can see it now... The new question on any End-Game shell application...

"Have you ever used an Astral Burn to level any of your jobs?" "If yes, GTFO!"
