That Jhakri set is nice but I am sad about the lack of haste... turned out to be more like Sulevia than Meghanada but still a good set to step up into better sets.

I just double checked and yes indeed this is the update that lowers the evasion of high level monsters this should definitely help ease the accuracy requirments that were needed making the content more accessible which is awesome.

Get motivated people there's monsters and gear to get !!!!

The elitism in this thread makes me want to puke.

Have you ever met a returnee? Perhaps a new player, or one that hasn't quite got the hang of how things work on certain mobs. Maybe even *gasp* a more casual player... You get the idea.

You (in the general sense) were once new. You had to have help to get where you are. I doubt that you had to pay for it, so why is it that you insult those who, like you once did, need assistance?

I help people all the time, because guess what, FFXI isn't a competition. It's a PvE environment, so really, who gives a damn?

The new gear looks interesting, and I for one will be willing to help people that want it,I or help with abjurations if they can supply the pop items.

tl;dr don't be a *** to people who are like you were

<3

I have serious issues with performance anxiety in this game even though I've done a lot of crazy ***solo, and was end game in the past.

I bust my ***, but I can't know fights I've not had the chance to do. And when it comes to gear... it's like a catch 22, people want you to already have the gear you're looking to get off the NM you're fighting.

I busted my *** farming up a nuke set for GEO. I go to aoe some bats for the ambuscade RoE. The WHM in my group checks me, then sends me a tell saying not to bother AoE'ing because my gear is garbage... The *** man. That's just one example of the kind of people you have to deal with when you come back and are trying to get geared.

You know whats worrse? When I make my own groups, and have to explain stuff to people. I've had people rag on them for not knowing the stuff they're asking Questions about, or just leave the group. How the hell do you expect people to learn if you don't give them the chance?

Melee may be viable...but I foresee a blue mage army taking over Escha.

Call me Sergeant Seekerstar, I'm part of it. :P

I guess my blu just got a better nuking set.

Now, I wonder if I will want to bother doing ambu with my alts. Probably not.

Curious to see the evasion thing, though I am too lazy to try myself.

Keep in mind you are losing serious haste with this set. Blending herc with this gear might be a decent idea to help with recast a little.

I can't like this post enough.

I've seen that; heck, I've had it happen to me. Nothing is worse than being booted because someone else has decided that you suck for whatever reason.

I will say that I have never done that. I answer questions. How are you supposed to know unless you learn?

I have no idea why people feel they have to lord it over others because they have more pixels than the one they're currently trashing.

Yeah, the guy is getting on my nerves too. He got helped out with his stuff but that still doesn't give him the excuse to be a dickwaffle about it.

It's supposed to be an easy to obtain set for casual though. If it's really, really really good then no one would do escha for minimal to no increase anymore.

Because the gear has to be really really really good or really really really bad right? It couldn't have been something decent like the other non-usu ambuscade sets? I expected it to be a decent nuking set for blu at least since it can't wear merlinic...but they budgeted the defensive stats/haste into melee acc/atk and ruined it in the process.

Gearing in FFXI is about making choices, with certain sets useful in one situation and another set better in different situations because each set has pros and cons.

If this set is better than NQ with every stat then what's the point to get NQ. Other ambu gears aren't as godly as people make it sound like. I keep hearing people screaming "ambu gears are BiS" but it's not.
