It's funny when...

You feel good about something, upload the screenshot to FFXIAH, and some jerk says I'm doing that to an EP mob.

Looking at my previous entry, I did a 2376 Penta Thrust. This was at level 62, but I had bard songs from Fredjan and Sanjuro was there to help me skillup on PLD - they were both 75. I still needed polearm skillups too - my polearm skill is about the same as a level 57 DRG's - so I was working on that and figured I'd have a blast.

Considering the person in question owns a Maat's Cap that said I was doing it to an EP mob, I'd expect them to know that if I am seeing an "EXP Chain", chances are... I'm... well, not fighting an easy prey mob! As Fredjan said on that page, fail more! The mob happened to check either T or VT. Nice try again! Then again, Bard songs from a 75 Bard can help a bit. And add my Mighty Strikes. . .  I was ready to rip that Colibri a new one.  If I did it at 75, I'd not only have a higher base dmg polearm (Engetsuto) but I'd have more STR, DEX, accuracy, and attack, and Hasso from /SAM37!  For that damage, I was actually /NIN.  I could easily, by that point, reach 3000+ damage, or even potentially one-shot the poor bird.  Because then I'd be actually doing it to an easy prey mob. :P

I disabled comments on that screenshot too because I'm sure there's a bunch of people who would say the same thing that person said without checking my profile and seeing that the highest job that I can use polearm with is my 63 WAR!  As one would say, the wisest wins, and the fool loses. I'm not one to have an attitude like that, but when I'm provoked to be this way, I sure will be.

If I'm going to post damage of an EP mob, I'd do this:



Or I would refer to this:



Now those are to easy prey mobs (granted I think the second one was either EP or DC), and I'm not afraid to admit that one bit.

But nice try!  I will sit here, knowing what's really going on, while the people that look assume I'm 75. :)
