Hey fellas, most of you know me, but for those that dont know me or forgot me my handle is Thedrake. Been on Quetz server since I created this character almost 2 years ago. I work third shift and go into work at 10pm EST and luckily my job allows me to get on FFXI while at work. Sometimes I can go in earlier or later, but typically expect me to be offline from 9:30-10pm as I get ready and drive to work. I know the leaders worked with me on that in the past but if things need to be more strict with its members then I understand.
Dont have any crafts, currently working on fishing. Jobs I play are WAR, MNK, NIN, THF, SMN and BLM. Empy's I have are 90 Vere, 85 Kannagi, and 90 Ukon. Only have 1 relic, Bravura 99.
Here are my sets, I dont have BLM sets posted just yet, will get that up later. I lost all my scripts/macros so the sets will need some tweaking or possibly overhauls, I am completely open to suggestions/advice, thats how we get better :)
Some of the war sets look outdated, need comments from warriors in LS. I notice you have a thaumas body but chose to tp in toci's harness? mnk is really lacking. should be at least shooting for ganesha head, thaumas body, mustela/relic+2 hands, af3 legs, af3 feet. VS set looks OK. however, I was hoping to see more situational/specific sets. acc/att oriented sets for harder content, more str based or ddex on weaker. mnk pdt is lacking could use darksteel subligar/leggings, or plumb boots, another dark ring. need mdt for mnk. acc set for tp is important for mnk. smn looks extensive, would need comments from smns in ls.
nin looks decent, but we dont use those outside of procing. thf is ok as well, but we typically fall back on people who have mandau/twash, or dont have a relic/good emp dd. same deal with blm, dont use that outside of proc. you should consider leveling//gearing sch.
as for your play times, event cut offs are at 9:30 pm est (which is when we enter at maximum time, and when people are allowed to receive attendance) so I suppose if you're ready and geared at whatever we're doing for the night before we go is good, except for limbus as that is extremely short and would be done before you got back. due to the ever changing style of our ls, this attendance procedure may change.
Yeah, most of the sets will be outdated, since I stopped playing almost 5 months ago. Not sure why I had toci's for TP tbh, making all script and sets in a couple weeks was draining and I am sure I confused a couple things. Dont have Ganesha head, using relic +2 hands, will switch it to af3 legs/feet. Dont have Darksteel subligar/leggingg or plumb boots. Been wanting to farm better dark rings, just didnt have time or desire.
I do have situational sets for when buffs are up/down set in spellcast (attack boost/berserk/impetus/aggressor/accuracy boost/focus/AM/etc…) and in certain areas like Legion/VW/aby/Odinv2/etc, but I havent had time to research and configure each individual set. Autoexec checks when buffs go up and down and runs the script. SC Script checks area/buffs and equips appropriately.
Based on what you are saying about attendance though I am not sure if I would be a good fit, unless I am reading it wrong? If you could clarify that for me please.
If I were to gear/skill another job then I would have to retire smn or blm due to my Very limited inventory space, just FYI.
The only things his smn are missing are pieces from End-game content or hexed -1 gear and maybe a few meebles pieces which he hasn't been around to acquire. Fast cast gear is mashed in with OQS gear but as he mentioned to me they are used for different things at different times.
