The only real macho comparison of Pixellectual wits and feats is a Ballista match. But it must follow a certain, strict set of rules. And since I am the oldest-playing veteran NA with active Ballista Royale experience and a track record of wasting hours in that failure of an excuse for PVP, I hereby announce myself as Herald for such an event.

Fight rules are as follows.

Location: Purgo Isle - Abdhaljs (Brenner warp zone)

Both must come:
MNK job
No support job (will be removed at battlefield anyways)
No job abilities, except three (see below)
No running, no kiting
Items restricted
Level 99 cap
Naked wearing Sacrarium undies, open chested torso (you can choose this one)
No prebuffing food allowed (we will require an antacid used before the match starts; herald will provide)
Only additional involuntary actions/prebuffing that are allowed: Guarding, Countering, or changing your merits before the fight.

Since this game relies on random numbers, the only fitting way to prove who is the best is through random natural selection. Gear, Money, and influence has no authority in this match. It is, therefore, only appropriate that we use the randomness of Counter, Guard, Evasion, and h2h damage to determine the best of the best.

Fight goes as follows:
Both characters use the "Boost" Job ability. Activate Counterstance. After 10 seconds, run in and fight. You cannot move. You are allowed to use Chakra, once. Choose wisely. Whoever wins in an old-fashioned slug match is the King Great White Hope. This will prove who decided that Guard skill wasn't important, and is truly as a whole, a complete failure to all of FFXI, as is the MNK job itself.

This will be live streamed so our entire community can see who really is the strongest combatant, in a "King of Wakanda" styled setting. Would be truly epic, and you can't buy your way out of this one.

Deal?

But how will you factor in merit points + race factors that might influence the results?


Collusion!

Start a special investigation immediately.

I was talking about whoever you're essentially calling out who insulted your friend based on number of REMA. Number of REMA means you can farm, doesn't mean you can play. I know plenty of meh players that have impressive REMA collections.

When aeonics FIRST came out, having an aeonic would be a viable bragging term. Now we have had months of SMN zerg for ez aeonics and lots of mercs for it, so even aeonics mean nothing about having skill.

Icing on the cake is I will best you any job any time. #Ladyofscum
You look for who to ignore. I look for who to teach. I am God.

I've never understood people who talk ***when they can't possibly be certain they're right. This is pure bravado as we've never played together. Hell, I didn't even know you existed until your raffle post. And this is also elitism that I consider toxic to a community. I suppose it's fitting that this topic was made about you.

I was attempting to figure out a good way to test out your theory. I think a single fight, especially with hate resets and amnesia in current VD ambuscade, wouldn't work. So I was thinking maybe a full run of AA's/Gods in Ru'aun. Come any melee DD, no SP's, equal buffs for us both. What say you?
HMU if y'all do this, this sounds fun to watch

To be fair there really isn't a good and fair test. I don't think two DD spamming WS is the best DPS. A more fair test would likely be each of us in identical parties and just parsing DPS/fight length. But I mean, that's not nearly as fun.

There shouldn't really be much DPS variation anyways, assuming same job, and following spreadsheets. But Darian has called out players for believing in "spreadsheets" numbers to be falsifying and that it isnt accurate. And his own personal experiment in game with just his personal set has produce better number. Which was the only reason i care to be a part of or be wathcing. It'll be "spreadsheets" vs "my set is better".

I don't follow spreadsheets perfectly or anything. I know what the spreadsheets say and am mostly in line with them, though I take a few personal touches and am more defensively minded than most. And I don't require him to be same job, that would be easy. He is welcome to come on any melee DD (just for buff purposes so we don't have to try for pet rolls vs melee rolls or something). If my THF manages to beat him on a job people consider better that's even better for me.
