blunt had its day with the sky pots and ranperre skeletons
piercing had lolribi and other birdies and piercing weak mobs
slashing had those Rampage burn parties
this leads to an possibility that SE would intentionally create mobs that make balanced parties the only good way to take them out, um wait, wasn't it the case with Crab and Beetle?!?
Time will tell in a few weeks.
I'm bored of TP burn tbh, I'd like to be in a balanced pt again.
It's probably why I enjoy Troll parties.
I'd personally like to see a shift from Short, 20 second battles and spam pulls that quickly generate (Small for comparison) exp, and instead, longer (3-5min) battles that generate staggering amounts of EXP per kill, compared to the normal ~200~ xp Bird. (3,000-5,000 per kill).
I firmly believe however that should that come to pass, both options are always available, Speed-burn (Bird or actually just FFXI exp in general now) and High Reward-Long Duration battle.
I'm Also sick of leveling off of tiny creatures that by all means, should be nothing more than a smear on the bottom of your boot (Or Gambieras, or Sune-Ate whatever) even 5 levels higher than you. Instead, why the *** can't we exp of Behemoth's, Dragons, and other ***that actually make sense to take 6 people to kill.
