Paladin
Yar! Glad it's finally 75. Now I have to spend a million years capping shield, thank you level sync and campaign (though a note on level sync: please, don't always sync to the lowest level. If 5 people are lvl 70 and one is 69, go to 70. My O-hat and Joytoy will love you for it, though the pt in the pic above disagreed). I had a lot of fun levelling this job, though at times I wanted to use some magical "Punch morons through my monitor" machine, such as the rdm who would cast Dia about 8 times a fight but not Refresh, or every thf who doesn't know what Assassin does even after explaining to them why they should split SATA at 60+. Morons! Things like this helped though:
Funny to note that those two parties were some of the most frustrating I had. I forget who said it, but I think it was on Alla's warrior forums, that you don't realise how many people are bad at their jobs until you've levelled it yourself. In the case of thf and rdm, I most certainly agree. Hell, in the case of war and ninja too. And bard. And now paladin. Maybe I should give up on Maat's cap while the game is still mostly fun :(
Though honestly, I'm getting sorta burnt out again already, and it's showing. I did a good job telling half the LS to fuck off after a joke rubbed me the wrong way on Sunday, and my tolerance of people not listening during events is as low as it has been since I left Phoenix (when I say "move back you'll get aggro", I don't mean "run out to meet the mob"). I think it's because I'm getting a bit bored of a few events (notably Limbus farming - I've been doing it twice weekly for 18 months roughly, almost always as a leader), and miss some of my friends on Phoenix and even on Valefor (log on more often Kurai! We're always short one very important mithra. More Vashy spottings wouldn't go amiss either), or like I normally do, I'm just pushing too damn hard to get things done and my solution to the problems that causes is to push even harder. It's safe to say I'm more a "hardcore" player than most members of my linkshell, and just like I am irl, I'm never happy unless things are constantly improving. I always want fights to be quicker, cleaner, because that's what I find fun. I'm very bad at relaxing, and I can also be incredibly stubborn (though I took a bit of an exception to being called sulky, largely because it was right). I suppose it doesn't help that I don't like keeping things to myself - as Wolf, Ed, and Kin can attest to - though there are some rl issues which I will keep to myseflf :p just because it's a LJ doesn't mean I have the right to be emo. That the LS seems very content to "stay in it's ways" in some respects - especially regarding paladin, isn't it obvious pld/war is beaten by pld/drk now most of us have decent haste gear? Or that DD pld beats turtle pld on almost anything we farm? - that doesn't help me either. I guess the new userpic is a good indication of how I feel.
On a different note, here's something I forgot to post before, which proved to me that Misa is awesome not just because he runs around on blm with a Great Axe.
And Brenni creeps me out sometimes D:
And something to make some people jealous, though I think it's kinda sad. Says a lot that I've done more KSNM and BCNM runs in the past month than I did in a year on Phoenix.
Hum hum. Anyone wanna buy a Lamia Kaman+1? Been trying to sell one for a while now. I know it'd be nice for pld, but I think I could get more use from things I could buy with 1.4mil (Gigant Mantle, for example. And I still need Adaman Feet... I kid, I kid. I want the HQ! I kid again, I'm not a total retard, I just act like it).
Guess that's everything.
