Vanadi'el's list of things that shouldn't hurt...but do

There's a lot of things in life that can hurt. A car crash, falling out of a 10th story window, eating grandma's fruitcake ala 1975. There are a bunch of things in the virtual world of Vanadi'el, however that just make you scratch your head. By no means is this a complete list... any reader: feel free to add on.



suspect: Treant
location: the forest... (duhh....)
the 'act': Leafstorm

Anyone who has seen this move knows...this attack (should you call it that) resembles a 'storm' as much as Bob Dole resembles N'Sync. At least when mandy's do 'leaf dagger' they actually look like they're shooting the leaves at you. i mean... that could hurt. Especially if you're using those mythril leaves you can grow in those pimp brass flowerpots. In fact...those leaves aren't even big, or heavy, or even have that many of them. It more resembles what happens when you fall out of the tree after getting caught trying to sneak out after curfew. SE... just leaf us alone!

suspect: Manta or Kraken (*hears pyro running away...oh wait, he's dead already... nvm)
location: around the world and on ships at sea
the 'act': Ink Jet

If this hurts in real life, Hewlett Packard should get the next big DoD contract. Ya that'd be rich... make some guns that fire black and multi-colored ink for those social fascist terrorist groups... Al Qaeda would have to fight themselves, or at least ostracize each other for being 'too poofy for the battlefield.' Heck you could make a big profit if you took over making the practice targets with photopaper. "It lasts twice as long and the colors don't fade!"
... maybe these mobs would be better off keeping the ink and throwing the printer at us...im sure they have one somewhere...maybe the manta king has one in mantaland...

suspect: Mandragora
location: any where higher on the evolution tree than a slug
the 'act': Wild Oats

i mean... c'mon... how does this hurt? Maybe if they got a can of oats and threw it at you... or got the Quaker man to do his best Jet Li impression... and does it matter if its steel-cut or instant?

suspect: Crab
location: following random beastmasters throughout the land
the 'act': Bubble shower

Let's see the SE logic here... take two things that are normally enjoyable, put it together, and WHOOP! you have one of the most irritating moves that can be done to a noob in valkurm. I like bubbles, i like showers, i don't like AoE damage and a strength reduction. Maybe Vanadi'el crabs are decended from the rare North American "Indoor Pool Crab."

...more to come ^^

I think the North American Pool Crab is much more difficult to deal with than the Vana'diel ones. I mean, they start out at lvl 86, and go up from there....I try to avoid them, seeing as I have yet to find the freak'n homepoint for this area, and the auction house.....I thought I found the chocobo stables, but it was only a Kentucky Fried Chicken........hmmm, I could go for some chicken....damn, I gotta go, Carrie just threw up in the corner......
