Yeah, but I'm not sure if the TA+ on the Ares+1 legs are good enough for WS or not. They are certainly a GREAT TP piece if you can do without the STP on phor legs.

I want Ares' more for looks than stats anyway; it's just one of the many things I wanted ages ago that I've never had the chance to get. ^^;

It's damage potential is still up there, but it lacks an easily obtainable weapon to reach that potential. It's Mythic or bust if you want to compete against jobs with vastly less time consuming weapons to make. Like warriors with Ukonvasara and/or Ragnarok.

Huh? Highest damage potential in aby, when it's strongest crit WS has a 20% att penalty? War, Mnk, Nin, Pup all have crit WSs that are monstrous in aby. Also the Herja Fork is pretty damn beefy if you can get one. It's at least a good alternative.

You've put me at an impasse, Schizm. On the one hand, I want to [+] your post because it's a Monty Python quote. On the other, it's a cat. It's quite the conundrum.

If you want, I can put fire in the background and make the kitty look evil. It won't help. If you could replace it with a dog though, that would be money right there.

The attack penalty didn't matter with the insane crit rate in Abyssea.
Being able to spam Drakesbane in Abyssea with Ryunohige's AM3 effect up resulted in ludicrous damage output.

Not really. Most jobs have terrible WS's attached to their Mythic (or aren't melee jobs and the added effects are mostly just utility pieces that wont help that much) and don't have an easy way to keep AM3 up. Thus they have to use the terrible WS more often.
Ryunohige and Kogarasumaru are, by far as I can tell, the best 'powerhouse' Mythics in the game.
Drakesbane remains a good weapon skill despite the attack penalty and Spirit/Soul Jump are amazing TP gaining abilities. And Spirit Link to steal Wyvern TP. Gimped Meditate too if /SAM.
Samurai has ungimped Meditate and a crap ton of STP so they don't have to use Tachi: Rana too often.
WAR and DRK only have gimped Meditate and Absorb-TP to make up for it. King's Justice is mediocre and Insurgency is pretty terrible.

Oa2-3 Conquerer with Upheaval spam is boss. It's just hard to maintain AM3 constantly. Liberator isn't bad, it's just that insurgency sucks, but entropy certainly does not suck. Glanz does ok (but suffers from AM3 only working on 1 hand which is stupid), KKK does good, Ryu does great, but drg has jumps that can proc 2-3, so it has a nice advantage (as well as drg's SP2, and the fact that they added spirit/soul jumps). Kogara does great too.

Yeah, they're trained that way. I'd bet if you didn't smell like cocaine or tried to steal a car that they might actually be friendly, to a point. But this is how they're trained.
However, explain this:

However, explain this:
My uncle-in-law was a k9 police officer. Had several different dogs. I didn't know them that well and mostly they stayed outside but at home they were seemingly very friendly and playful. He had czech shepherds that "spoke" German.
I'm a dog person and all but I was kinda nervous around them because they were gigantic dogs. They were very intimidating.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
