thistlechaserI've never had a job I've been so "meh" about as BRD. Usually I love or hate a job, but BRD leaves me in varying shades of indifferent. XP static met again tonight, and things went well. Wish I hadn't been so tired so we could have gone longer. Barely got two levels (hitting 31).
As usual, we had to pick up two random DDs. First a lolWAR who DCed after a fight or two, who was replaced by a lolBLU. The other person was a RNG who claimed to be male (character was male) but gave off really strong girl-vibes. She was new and not very experienced, but nice, listened, and was very cute -- that counts for a lot!
The most fun and frustrating thing about BRD is getting people to stand in the right place. What part of "If you have MP, rest over here when the fight ends" do people fail to understand? I don't know why it's funny that people can't follow such simple instructions, but it had me amused most of the night.
After XP ended I did nothing at all. >< So bad. I had a ton of stuff I needed to do, but I was exhausted.
I need to look up the stats on BRD AF, because (assuming we keep going with these jobs) I don't want to even quest for it. It's fuzzy and ugly and the footwear is slippers. Gah! "Slippers"! How in the world can any adventurer run around in fricking SLIPPERS. >< Slippers! And I see no metal anywhere on that AF! And are those tights? Gah. And what the hell is up with that hat?
I know, I know. I usually say "function > form". I'm the guy who ran around in a subligar for how many DRK levels? But that BRD AF? No way, no how. Sorry. (Watch it be my luck and that BRD is one of the useful AFs. My wonderful, sexy, cool DRK AF could never be used for anything, but I bet this AF actually can be used.)
Edit: Okay, I checked. Could it actually be? Is it not all that useful? Only a couple of the pieces have BRD-related skills, the others have evasion and such. Yay!
