Heres some advice. I dont know if it will help or not. I'm not gonna put this guys name on blast, but I'll call him Joe for this. And I've noticed this with a lot of Joe's.
Joe hears "Blu is the best DD in the game" and runs out and mercs literally every part of blu. Almace, tiz. Even the job itself to 99. Plays the job to master and finds out hes not doing even close to some of the best BLUs in the game. Hes not seeing the same numbers. Then he sees one of our CORs doing high Leaden damage. So what does he do? Goes out mercs everything again and still cant come close to our main cors parses. THEN he hears about smn.
Actually level your job to 99. Learn it. Get good at it. Slowly gear it. Find what works. Read forums. If you aren't making use of your job abilities. Or know that one might cancel out another and somehow your dual wielding remas? You really need to learn your job. All the gear in the game wont make you good.

Does that mean I'm good at the game? guy was shouting on Facebook (lol) about how Twashtar was the best endgame Dancer weapon at R15, used a spreadsheet table to try to prove me wrong that Terpischore was more practical for most relevant content, I used the same spreadsheet table to prove him wrong, then he said the spreadsheet table was wrong because the results were written by a soloer (?????) After being proven wrong on that he went on to say that Dancer was just a terrible job and none of this mattered anyway because Death Penalty was better (??????????????) Facebook, ladies and gentlemen That's a cool story and these types of cool stories enrich the FFXIAH community. Please post threads of this quality every day to make FFXIAH the greatest website of all time.

That takes some frickin skill. Most people who think being 'good' is easy, are decent at best. The reason people are able to *** up helms pops is because if this Dunnings-Kruger effect that half the playerbase seems to have, where they think if they can quintuple the parse of someone in sparks gear, that must mean they are "good", when in reality they lag far behind people who actually know what they are doing.

Because it was the first thing I could click on and didn't want to go fishing around for other examples of people who had every REMA.

"Easy" steps to get good:
- Communicate well: ask questions, and also ask "why", which brings me to the next point: - Learn: read up on guides to get recommendations on how to play the job, what gear sets to aim for, and so on. Also read up on events and how they work. - Activity: don't sit in town waiting for hand outs, take an active stance; build your own parties. There are tons of events to keep you busy for ages. If you want to get stuff, it always helps to begin. I.e. questing for Ergons, Mythics, AF upgrades, etc. - Patience: this is Square-Enix, nothing comes (too) easy. Drop rates may suck in certain events, for sought after pieces. These are not essential, usually, but work well as bait to keep playing (paying subs). - Attention: for some people this seems to be the hardest. Don't do a long afk without letting people know. Keep the window visible, or at least leave sound on for <calls> for when people need to get your attention. If you can't be bothered to pay attention to the game, then why play? This "guide" is not exhaustive, just some top of the mind reflections.
