hmmmm the video was ok.. but the ballista was .. meh the music was REALLY anoying lol.

[Skyrin]

Wow its been so long since ive seen a ballista I actually didn't mind your vid. Nice AMV style matching the images to the music but the content could use some work. Anyway it got me in the mood to ballista thanks.

Oh and did you make a friend that match?

[Tainted]

I don't understand how anyone can say the ballista could be better, unless you mean more people...Because if by content you mean player style and skill, none of your servers are any better.

[IronPandemonium]

I was waiting for something?

Oh...okay.

Why I didn't turn off my speakers is beyond me, but regardless, the music made me angry in the face area etcetc, and at first the custom hair .dat was alright, but... now you're not even looking like you're a freaking Paladin.

...granted in the first place, I find watching PLD videos immensely tiresome anyways. Kind of like... "hey guys... don't attack me, and I'm just going to be a dick and poke at you (or atleast try to), k? k."

...except people still managed to rofl your defense somehow; probably the lack of a shield, but whateva'.

Um... 3/10 I guess, since we've been lacking new videos to begin with recently.

Odin is the best ^^ and yeah.. the music was anoying.. the .dat sawpping was weird.. and for like half the video you went after the same war/nin it looks like lol. but all in all i give it a 5/10.

I was going to give it 5/10 too, but then I figured; videos that don't amuse me don't deserve a mediocre score. Because in the end, I just ended up losing time watching something a load of people already did better.

2/10.

[Sabishii Kouen]

Call me a loser, but I actually LIKE the music, I like Japanese music. The video itself is kinda cool too.

They "rocked" my defense because it's not a defensive build at all. Something about getting digits on defensive players as a hybrid job is more of an accomplishment. Well..In 60 it's not a hybrid job at all, it's full offense.

And Odin isn't the best, lol But the video is a 3 v 3 match, I guess you'd prefer the whole video have been me one shotting the RNG over and over again, Wait, then there'd be complaints the video is just a bunch of kill shots.

KI never fails though. If it's not one thing or the other. With out dat swaps I don't look like a PLD either.

[wunder2]

God I miss the RNG kill-shot days.

[Angel of Enders]

I'll tell you guys what I miss.



Having your favorite super heroes blatantly fucking each other up and our parents being ok with that because that shit was considered badass and they understood back then. They fucking understood...

Why not like... go as SAM/BLU with a Couse (or Soboro') then? I know for a fact you've got Samurai leveled, but mainly: justifying an offense build as Paladin... as soon as your Utsu' is down in a sixty cap as PLD/NIN, you're basically just a WAR/NIN with +40~ more DEF, and that there alone makes you an easy target without your shield to keep you alive (and "define" you as a challenging job in my opinion for Paladin in general in Ballista), really, lol.

Someone respond to me.

Except I can do everything WAR/NIN can and more when utsusemi is down. I guess that by default would make me better than WAR/NIN.

An easy target is determined by play style. Anyone is technically an easy target in small matches, especially at 60 cap. Play style has a much bigger role in easy target than your defense, but if a PLD like me can break 500+ WS on defensive players lacking phalanx, then you are an easy target.

So why not go SAM/BLU? PLD is simply more versatile. I can assume three different roles at the same time effectively, while SAM/BLU can at most do two, and one of those it can't do well.

You can keep playing cookie cutter PLD if that's what works for you. I can play my WAR/NIN with +40 more defense and be happy with it.

If it's not Japanese Ise, it sucks.

I used to have so many GI joe toys /tear

[Geothermal]

That fucking song is going to haunt me until I remember what irritating anime is associated with it. The unholy trinity of One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto didn't turn up shit, and now I have those songs stuck in my head too. This must be what weeaboo purgatory is like.

Also, I guess half the field being composed of SAM/RNG is a Fenrir thing.

Edit: FUCK I FINALLY REMEMBERED, IT'S POWERPUFF Z THERE IS NO LOVING GOD

lol

SAM/RNG though? Honestly if anybody was even TEMPTED to bust that out over on Pand', I'd personally kill them continually in noteable EVA so they'd run out of sushi eventually (or just give up buying it), lol.

Anywho,

Shield get? But that's ignoring that Rampage/Raging Rush > Vorpal Blade, especially when 'zerked (and most likely being ready to make someone run like hell; a good offense, is a good defense *lolreversed*, comes to mind /shrug).

Seems counter-productive more than anything, going as PLD without the piece that really gives them the unique feel; besides, justifying /NIN dual wield as "offensive" for a job with no +damage traits besides the 10-20% (or whatever the heck it ranges from as /NIN) reduction in delay you're getting by using two single-handed weapons, when you could go /WAR with Berserk/Double Attack(still kind of lol though here with Vorpal')... but that's beside the point that Paladin isn't exactly a damage-dishing job until uncapped (even which, you'd still want your shield).

I'm going out on a limb here and assuming the role SAM/BLU is missing just so happens to be a healer, but uh... protip: good opponents are going to make it a priority to eliminate Paladins without shields that wish to take care of team members (or atleast I'd be all over the person that's taking the role that's normally discarded almost every match). Past that, +600 Penta's every six attack rounds is pretty epic, paired with the easily attained 550~ DEF rating in a sixty cap (shame on this server not having many Acid Bolt users I guess?).

You can go right on ahead and keep using PLD/NIN, regardless, as this is just my opinion anyways. But, what I will say, is if I were to -ever- bring PLD past thirty-seven for whatever reason, and just so happened to have a bunch of equipment laying around for it: With your shield, or on it. Serious business.

[Temadian]

few people believe me about the sam/rng thing on fenrir, I was hoping it would be mellowed down by now but figured it wouldnt.

also, I found these emoticons

SOB it didnt let me post them all

[Angel of Enders]

When I say this, I'm talking about an official match. The only thing that makes a PLD/NIN better than a WAR/NIN in 60 cap is cures and sentinel. Any WAR/NIN worth anything will be using bolts to enfeeble you before they really start getting to work and Darksteel Bolts hit a low defense job for about 100+ so with a PLD's defense that's maybe 20 or 30 damage less and it's faster than a normal attack round and gives a good amount of TP. The only problem with spamming bolts though is that WAR/NIN's Marksmanship isn't reliable so you're gonna feel every miss which is usually why shit goes wrong for me.

I honestly enjoy WAR/NIN more than PLD/NIN in 60 cap because I have a bit of a masochistic personality. I do wish I had my /blu sub leveled though.

I'm the WAR/NIN in those videos if anyone cares.
