LS Overload

So I’ve been back from my unfortunate forced break for about 3 months now and ever since I’ve been looking for a new Dynamis, limbus, and general sky sea whatever shell. I got into a small sea shell a couple of weeks ago and that’s still progressing in its early stages and I’m happy with it so far. In nearly every party or mission or whatever I have been involved in I have been asking about shells and finally this Monday got some leads. SO now I have joined a new limbus shell which seems to be pretty good, and a dynamis shell that’s not full of noobs.

Went on my first run with the limbus group Monday and got 4 coins. I lotted an astounding 37 to try and get an extra coin… Run went smooth, we cruised through the zone and had tons of time left over. I’ll be going with them twice a week and using mostly RDM and switching to PLD once it’s finished up to 75 on Omega/Ultima fights. This shell has a lot of good players in it so I see it working out nicely in the future.

Dalilah was nice enough to send me an email telling me about a dynamis shell that was recruiting. I sent the leader a tell and asked in. He said yes but didn’t need any PLD’s but did need more RDM. Which is what I would prefer to go as anyways. They currently go one day a week and I had my first run with them yesterday. They did dynamis sandy and overall they did a decent job. Got the win but not all the time extensions (they were fearful of trying to go towards the nin house). They seem pretty well organized and I can see the shell working out fine. Only thing I could say I see for improvement is the speed at which they pull. The puller is waiting until everything dies before going out to get the next pull which is killing us on time. Also, they set camps waaay to far back sometimes. This is mainly a time sink they are setting themselves up with but as they get more experience and maybe a little coaxing hopefully I can offer some hints they will heed. I don’t want to act bossy or try and overstep people though so mostly I’ll remain quite about things. We got 4 AF drops and I’m secondary lotting PLD so at least now there is something I can get from Sandy since I’ve had the RDM boots for ages. I think the next run will be bastok and I know they have a lot of new members that need all the other city wins so that’s a good thing as I’ve probably done more northland runs than city anyways over the course of my dynamis career. Getting a shot at RDM hands and Legs again will be nice.

Now back to the original post heading. I now have about 5 different LS pearls I need to keep around for all the different things I do. I sure wish SE would make some kind of pearl box because my inventory space is getting horrendous.

Sea tonight, and hopefully more PLD level grinding and maybe I’ll finish up my pld AF>.> I mean I should have it since it’s actually good af for pld to tank stuff in, just not XP party tanking. I’ve only even had one party ask why I wasn’t wearing AF. It was an early morning JP party that was going < Where?>. I told them I didn’t have it to which they replied with lol’s and w but then the party started and I owned mob hate and had zero downtime as they saw how much better it is to tank with shield skill, enmity and DD builds on PLD now. When party broke I got lots of praise and what not. So really I’m dying to know why all those other plds out there are still XP tanking in AF? Most any forum you go to everyone advocates how much better it is to go as a DD tank hybrid and yet still I see the masses are just turtleing it up. Oh well. To each their own.
