Link, FFXI

[thistlechaser]

This comic strip is very silly. Heeheehee. :D

FFXI: Wow, COR has spoiled me so much! I had to play BRD tonight and just... ugh. Songs last two minutes! What the hell! Corsairs' rolls last five minutes. So much time to do other things! Like shooting! What the heck does a BRD do while not singing? I mostly just stood around and watched the melees. (Couldn't cast on the NM, he reflects stuff.) And man, such ugly armor compared to... well... my ugly shade of blue yet beloved COR AF2~ :D

Grand total of the night: Dainslaif for a LS PLD, Dune Boots for philia, and some odd but cool-sounding DRG earring for kamalloy. We were supposed to kill Ungur for mertondew, but some people were already doing that so we moved it next week.

Tomorrow is my first night "off" in FFXI all week! Sheesh. I might work on DNC (I want to sell off that armor!) or I might deal with getting Katerwaul her locker (did Lure of the Wildcats on her today).

I haven't been on the MUX since Sunday (not counting quick checks to see if I have mail), which is sad. At least I have a scene on Saturday, and I was going to miss half of it due to Dynamis, but happily we're doing Bubu so it'll be a shorter run and I'll miss less!

zzz Sleepytime.

I feel the same way about cor<->brd! If I wasnt such a merit whore, I think I'd retire brd. Seriously, 5 min buffs <3 (well, i maxed winning streak so more like 6mins and 40 secs...and yes I know a lot of cors will hate me for dumping merits in that, but F U, i like it!)

COR can be played in many different ways, there's no one "right" way. Merit it however works best for your play style. :)

I dunno. With bard you buff everyone all at once instead of waiting a minute for each roll, and you'll never have to worry about busts/lucky/unlucky rolls. One job stops to sing for 30 seconds every 2:20 and the other stops to roll 4 times in 5 minutes. Seems about even to me. Or course if you're only doing 2 songs/rolls COR will win out on the "free" time.

As for things to do while not singing: in meripo there's, of course, pulling. In endgame there's sleeping, curing, status cures, (more) pulling, and sometimes just singing will take up all your time (hi2u 8 song rotations - that's not even possible on COR :P).

Yeah, there are things on the plus side for BRD, of course (miss one person with a song? No problem! Miss one person with a roll? Yeah, see you in ten minutes...).

As for things to do while not singing:

Yeah, we were doing ZNMs, so none of that usual stuff applied. I just zzzz'ed when not singing. (Luckily there's that new ability that I'm not going to try to spell, so I put four ballads on two WHMs one by one. That killed lots of time.)

I'm so jealous of your Relic Body! I just got to 80 in Nyzul, so I'm hoping I'll have *a* new body piece soon, too!

(I'm next for COR relic body but we haven't been doing northlands!)

Thank you! Luckily my LS has basically been living in the Northlands, so I finally got lucky. :D

Good luck on getting both of your upcoming pieces!
