Penta Thrust Get!!!!

Well my friends, I haven't mentioned it on here yet, but I've been Pretty hardcore Dragoon lately. In addition, Im 99.9% certain this will be my 2nd job to 75 after my Beloved Rdm which will forever define Vashwood and be my FFXI baby.

It is with great fanfare and a milestone in a Drg's career that I have finally gained Penta Thrust!!!! Huzzah!!!! Woooooot mutha effen Woooot!!

=D

I promise to put up a screen shot of a mid penta thrust very soon once I figure out how!

I did get it a level late at level 50 due to excessive level sync parties that caused my polearm skill to not catch up to lvl 49 skills until level 50. But It was soo worth it to finally get it. I've been double thrusting waaaaay too long, hehe. Now its time to give em what they want....Penta thrustin' action!!

My first one did a respectable 436 dmg I believe, not sure if all the hits connected. Now its time to work on building my gear for haste and penta modifications as well. Its time to become a major threat on the battlefield....

On an equally awesome side note, now that Arwy's Dnc is over 40 our duo completely rocks hardcore again utility wise, its always rocked to duo wiht Arwy. She has gotten reverse flourish which makes for easy break dancin' ^^
Congrats Arwy!

Don't be such an Ass

This post is for you Mister Sch/whm who shall remain nameless.

Why are you such an ass? I invite you to a party, a party that at level 41 sync is averaging over 10k an hour, mind you. Not bad for that level, in fact many a nubface like yourself would sell their left testi for that. You are informed you are the Main healer with for than a few back up healers in the party as well.

So what do you do Asshat? You whine the moment someone is afk for 1 min even though we are still exp'ing @ 5 people during that AFK. Then after we've got a nice rythm going, you inexplicably let the paladin die... OMGWTF happened????

Heres how it goes....

Asshat SCH: Omg this is depressing me..I think i need to take a break..

Me: What?? are you serious??

Asshat SCH: ::says nothing::

Me: Well you are the healer and noticed that while we had expended our mp you still had 140 when our Pally died...

Asshat SCH: ::says nothing::

Me: Surprise Cockfag!!!!!! /boot asshat

All that would have made it better would be leading an Exoray to MPK his whinny ass.

As I know he certainly didnt learn any lessons, but at least he wont ever fuckup one of my parties again. Another side note, dont ever bitch about my friends in party, esp when im the leader...you will lose....

First post

First things first... Introductions.

I am Vashwood, the dashing, Pimp hat wearing, 75RDM from the server Carbuncle on the wonderful and equally evil online game Final Fantasy XI.

I've been inspired to share my drivel with all those who would read it by my good friend Arwenne whom also blogs about game related stuff on here if you care to check our her blog which I will link to shortly once I figure this website out.

I like to think of myself as one of the best RDM's around on the Carbuncle server, not because I have the 1337ist gear around, but because I deeply care about doing my job well and being there for my friends as much as I can. For me, FFXI is as much or more about the people as it is progressing in the game. I don't feel complete with a FFXI session if all i did was log on level/craft/farm without having a meaningful, or just as fun meaningless conversation with some of my friends.

I feel rambling coming on, so I shall end this inaugural post of the Nubbin' it up with Vashwood Blog. I look forward to providing much random and sometimes useful thoughts on the game and all that happens within it.

Your Friendly Neighborhood RDM,

Vashwood

p.s.
And for the love of god, if you're a RDM and above lvl 41 freaking Refresh shit! Omg theres a Whm, Refresh..a Pld, Refresh.. a Rock, Refresh, especially yourself you freaking Nubface! /endrant
