So tell us Korpg, what EXACTLY have you done that makes you stand out from the vast majority of all the other blm's on Asura?
Korpg said: Radaghast said: Ok Korpg.. I'll bite.... tell me what you do that puts you in such a high tier. What is it you can do, that others can't, that makes you so pro? Know the weaknesses of the mobs you are fighting. Know the strenghts of the mobs you are fighting. Know when to nuke. Know how to Magic Burst. Know when to Magic Burst. Know when to sleep instead of nuke. Know how to debuff. Know how to solo. Know when you need to die. Know how to die (most people don't even know this). Know your spells. Burn makes BLM enfeebles stronger/more accurate, so if you are fighting a mob that resists Gravity (but not fully) then burn him. Same goes for Shock. You can also do both at the same time, as long as the mob you are fighting are not strong against Thunder and Fire. If you realize that, you will know when to do that and when to not do that. Common sense. Very few people seem to have that. Drive to excell at your job. Know what makes ***stick. Know about your Magic Accuracy and the best way to improve on it. Know about your mobs resist rates and how to weaken them without using Death Blossom. Just know your job.

Blazza said: Seriously, this was a *** stupid idea for a thread by someone that obviously has no idea what 99% of threads on any forum turn into. This ENTIRE ***throwing contest has evolved from YOUR attitude Korpg. You think you're good, we get it. But here's the thing, we've all agreed (including you) that being a good blm isn't just about numbers. We've all agreed (including you) that being a good blm isn't just about gear. Yet all you've given to support your claim of being the best blm sans morrigan's and novio is a few feats that YOU YOURSELF said weren't that impressive. Seriously, you told us you solo NW Limbus, but that it's not very impressive (your words), and that you could solo despot if you could get claim. Well ***dude, I've solo'd despot twice this week on my *** blu, so that doesn't get you any brownie points either.
No-one here, NO-ONE, has said you're a bad blm. Not one single person has even tried to say you're not good at your job. But if you're going to argue for... 6? pages now... about how you're one of the vewy bestest bwack mages on the server, you should at least tell us why. What have you solo'd that IS impressive? And I'm sorry, but doing the biggest numbers or staying alive the longest in dynamis doesn't make you one of the best, it makes you someone who knows their job like everyone *** should.
If you really were one of the best, you'd be constantly trying to better yourself and attempt new things, or AT LEAST trying things that the best BLM's on OTHER servers have done.
So tell us Korpg, what EXACTLY have you done that makes you stand out from the vast majority of all the other blm's on Asura?
Bold part: Where did I say I solo NW Apollyon? I said it could be done, I never said I could solo it. Also, where did I say I solo Despot? I wouldn't even try it on BLM. Maybe RDM with a few more merits and relic hat, but thats still a long way to go. Last part of your statement: You want to know why I think with full morri and novio I will be the best? Because I have the gear and the skill. I can pop out huge numbers and stay alive. I know my job, probably better than 95% of the god damn game. I know what makes a good BLM great. I know what makes a great BLM godly. Its basically what Rumaha pointed out. Gear doesn't make the player, but it helps out those who know their job.

Ladies and Gents... the troll is backpedaling...
But hey maybe because he doesn't understand how to properly express himself in the English language we ought to cut him a break. Maybe what he's saying now is what he really meant. If so, IF you haven't done all that which we thought you were claiming... you're a pro BLM why exactly? All because you can do your job right?
The bar ain't that *** low on Asura. There's a lot of people who could stand to learn to do their job better, but not being one of those people does not make you the best or one of the best on server.

Rum, the line I selected sums up the rest of it, all he basically said in that rant was that he knows his job. Korpg said: Bold part: Where did I say I solo NW Apollyon?

Maybe RDM with a few more merits and relic hat, but thats still a long way to go. I really like this bit. You claim to be one of the best, but really don't seem confident in soloing NW, what many would see as a right of passage for the best blm's out there. Also, despot is *** cake and you don't even need movement speed for it. Trust me, even you can solo despot.

Curiously Blazza how would a BLM solo NW? The top flr is a killer with the 4 behemoths... I can see sleep nuking the smaller ones... but the larger one, You'd run out of MP... I'd have thought DUO is the smallest number that could do the zone and get a complete.

Just watch Avesta he's done it, yah he's done some impossible to gauge ***but hey. Anyways a few other Apathy BLMs in Remora have done it, ask them they all speak english. Not trying to start drama but Blazza is right in the sense of soloing NW, possible and has been done.

Its basically what Rumaha pointed out. Gear doesn't make the player, but it helps out those who know their job. Contradiction much? First part: I'm sorry, I meant to say would instead of could. See, my LS wants to do limbus twice a week, and since one can only do limbus twice a week, there's a problem about soloing NW Apollyon for one's own profit. I have done duo/trios in NW Apollyon, they aren't that hard. But why would I bother soloing it if you get more rewards with a trio or another very good BLM who can help me kill Faffy also. About soloing Despot: Kindof hard to do that if one doesn't have Morri/relic body....kindof need MP to do that....plus that whole thing about bind wearing after 1 nuke kindof sucks for me..... I mean, I could just bio the hell out of it and use Yag drinks, but then I would get GM'd for holding a NM. So really, I wouldn't try it. Again, sorry about the confusion about that one word. I'll try better, but I'll probably forget.

Well ya I figured that you would kill just enough mobs to get portals opened, and you'd snag as many time chests as possible.
It's just that last flr kitting the megaboss. Maybe with gaiters and every bit of fast cast gear you could wear, you could get far enough ahead enough to nuke, get it off and resume kiting. But I guess what MP drinks and refresh body to get MP back up?

You would run out of time before you would get to the top floor and kill those 3 minis.
even if you skip all the bosses, you would still run out of time if you kill the wyverns for 2 coins each. You would have to skip them all and be VERY lucky to get to the final floor and try to solo KB.
Even then, I doubt anyone outside of speedhackers could do it.

You only need to kill < 3 mobs per flr to open up the portal and they're all mobs a blm could solo easily. You'd have by my guess around 30 minutes for the last flr at worst... That said I'd have to tip my cap to the BLM who gets the chip because I just don't see how it can be done... It'd be a nail biter for sure.

Korpg you know all the endgame BLM's that evar played? Wow? Better than 95% of all blms all over... That's pretty ballsy.. even for you. I mean.. I knew you were bloated enough to think you're one of the best on your server, without any sort of credentials other than OMGIJUSTDIDXXXXXDMGIRGODDDDDD, or listing the very basic things any AVERAGE blm would know. BLMs who don't know that ***, are failmages... BLM's who do.. are average BLM's. If you think that list of *** you posted is what makes you one of the best, then Asura, as I said before, must be chock-full-o-fail.
You remind me of this Mithra on my server, who thought she knew everything about the game... down to the most minute detail... nevermind the fact she was more often than not... wrong... but it was amusing to listen to.. for a while anyway... kinda like you.

Speedhack meaning casting your spell then porting to the other side of the zone....
in case you haven't realized, although I doubt you would because I doubt you mess with BLM anymore, Meteor has just 2 second casting time longer than a T4 with BLM/RDM.
Thats 2 seconds you have to stop, cast, and run away before it casts back on you. Think you can do that? Even with movement speed+ shoes, you honestly think you can get far enough away to escape that meteor....all the time?

Tell me the difference the mobs INT has on your nukes. Or how much INT can equal accuracy at what percentages of the mob's INT. Or the resists of every single mob you might encounter. Or how resistant your enfeebles are to each mob. How about the mob's INT? Rough estimates would work. What about each and every single SC's element? How about when the best time to MB when your shell is doing a SC? What about how much INT down Burn does? Or MND down Shock does? Or how to improve the hit-rate on those two spells? Or when to acutally use those spells? I take BLM very seriously. I want to be the best, unlike most others who posted on this thread.

Despot = bind > rest. Saying that you wouldn't even try to kill Despot because you don't have morrigan's or relic body? Wtf kind of excuse is that? Not like they're the only refresh pieces BLM can wear. How can you even claim to be above average if you don't even ATTEMPT simple ***like despot? If you're too scared to even try Despot, I'm assuming you haven't solo'd zip or Faust either, they're both much harder, but get solo'd all the time. As for why would you solo NW if you get more rewards for completing it trio, how about the reward of personal satisfaction? Doing something that ACTUALLY shows that you're "one of the best" blm's out there? I'm not going to say you're a ***blm if you can't solo it, but next time you trio you should at least say to the other two blm's that you'd like to attempt to solo a mini Behe, done that? Great, now tell them you'd like to solo the main Behe. You can easily solo elements of the run to prove to yourself that you can put all those elements together and probably solo the whole run. And then I'm sure your LS aren't going to mind if you sit out a limbus one week so that you can solo NW when they're all done. I honestly don't expect you to solo NW, and I have no idea how to solo Kaiser Behemoth myself, but I'm also not trying to tell everyone that I'm one of the best BLM's. You have stated that if you had morrigan's and novio you would be THE best blm on Asura. Yet you seem to be too scared to even attempt anything that would place any sort of legitimacy on that claim. Seriously though, since you've argued this for so damn long, I just want to know what makes you so sure you'd be the best blm if you had better gear. You've yet to convince anyone here that you're anything special. Not bad for sure, but certainly not the supreme blm that you seem to think you are.

Bind resists. With an enfeebling magic skill of 281 that any BLM can pull out, maybe 284 at the absolute most, thats still nowhere close to the 300 needed to keep gravity and bind up on Despot so you can rest for more than 60 mp at a time. Eventually, resists happen. What will happen then? Besides, that cloak isn't all that great, its not worth wasting a spot in my very limited inventory space. Relic body isn't either imo. Since you have abosolutly no idea how BLM works Blazza, I would suggest you not lecture me about how to do my job. You don't see me lecturing you about how to be a good BLU.

If you act like a fool, you're going to get called out. He acted a fool. He's being called out. You're dumb enough to throw your lot in with him because you think he's pro.
I was just curious to see what people's thoughts were on who the best is at certain jobs on the server. Don't just judge based on gear alone but on:
-Gear -Skill -Attitude toward the job -Whatever else seems necesarry
