Blarg (RL, FFXI)

[thistlechaser]

Welcome to another exciting post!

Didn't feel like being at work (as usual). Got home and didn't feel like logging on again for the second day in a row (not usual). Blarg.

COR static group got to 31-32. I got a ton of racc stuff, plus peacock charm to come in a couple levels. Got a new gun. Hexaguns look very silly. I'm still missing too much for my taste. Going to look into a better food.

Wish I could find the spark for stuff again.

You need sleep. :/ It's hard to want to do /anything/ when you're tired.

Yeah, you guys are right. :}

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I think that's improving! Last night I got more sleep than usual (almost 6 hours), but more important I felt like I could sleep. Hopefully I've reached the end of this overly long sleepless period. :)

Yes, get sleep and exercise - and you might wanna consider going to get a physical so your doctor can yell at you and see if you have hypothyroidism like MINE did, yay!

Yeah, I'm really overdue to go to the doctor, too. I had sort of intended to get that done over vacation, but it didn't happen. :P

I do admit.. firing a hexagun liek other rifles does look rather silly. Everyone shoudl get the single handed elvaan firing style for hexaguns. That woudl be great. Gotta be careful though... haxaguns are nice but you blow through bullets at a crazy rate. At least you got one thoguh. When I was COR 30~ish, the only hexagun there was was the THE hexagun at 65.

Yeah, the elf pose would work much better for it. And yes, I'm blowing through bullets like crazy. c.c About a pounch an hour! I'm thinking once I hit 40 I'll be firing less maybe -- keeping four rolls up on people will take (slightly) more time than three! It's kind of cool though, when I have 100% TP, I put sharpshoot up, WS, fire as fast as I can, and get to WS again before sharpshoot wears! Good for damage, less good for use-of-bullets.

And yeah, I'm very happy we have more guns now! :)

Honestly.. keeping 4 rolls up is not as hard as some folks try to make it out to be. I do the best I can, and if the PT isn't 100% happy with what they're getting, we can adjust. I also play around with things... throw up a WAR roll and RNG roll on meles one round.. then THF and DRK next round...

Also as far as abilities and WS go... I only ever use Sharpshot with Barrage. And as the ever wise Bean told me, when you get Slug Shot, hold out until 150% TP since its accuracy is TP based. Quick Draw seemed very important at first, and if you can regularly buff a spell then great... otherwise I'm finding I'm using it more and more only for the damage.

And if you ask me, a puch an hour is still pretty conservative. I think i blew through a pouch every 35-45 mins last weekend. I'm scared how much mining i'll have to get in to support the Hexagun fire rate.

Luckily, since my COR is in a static, if the party isn't happy I can tell them to bite me. ;) No, seriously, the only thing that messes me up (and messes me up badly) is when the pulls take longer than expected. I don't want to do the melee rolls with the puller (Nai) out of range, but if I wait too long everything starts wearing off and I can't get them back up quickly enough. (My view of this might be messed up by BRD though, since BRD can do unlimited songs in a row. Maybe with COR people are just going to have to cope with sometimes not having both songs on them.)

Since we have Nai as THF, I'm thinking that will be one they always get. Then DRK or RNG depending on how they're hitting.

Oh, huh! Maybe I need to shoot more then. Yay!
