Afk's Note
the big golem boss [aka Colru] has promoted evie only partys not because of her battle ability but because of reverse gravity.
yes, I know that staff evies have insane damage for their good survivability but thats nothing new, staff evies have always been welcomed in most of the difficult encounters of the game. in fact, for a player of at least average skill there's plenty of situations where it's easier to survive as a lann than staff evie [most evident in the boulder throw ability that ignores amber and can one shot a shieldless evie]
so why the fuss with colru?
two factors
colru is the first somewhat slow yet difficult 'new' boss to come out after 2nd stage transformation
the mini boss phase provides evies time to stack up SP before encountering colru
what does this lead to?
a pug with relativly good teamwork can, with the help of transformation and 2nd stage transformation, can chain reverse gravity endlessly untill he dies. this would require a 13k requirment to have a good chance to pull off but it's pretty easy for an evie to reach that damage.
in mixed parties I really don't care that much about class except when there is no staff evie at all [healing pearl ftw]
because frankly, a terribad evie is actually worse than a terribad lann.
and do you know whats worse than a terribad evie? a terribad fiona. I mean really, some of them make me sick and I can't understand why so few people can see this.
unless it's an all evie party, it's always a better policy to look at gear instead of class for mixed parties.
I'm aware of the gear=/=skill argument but there also is the fact that skill requires practice, practice requires dedication. gear also requires dedication. a person's dedication to one part usually reflects his/her dedication on the other part. and the only case where I've seen this not true is a player that has dedication to gear stacking but not skill.
never the other way around.
