Static Party Needed!Follow

Is that a typo on your subjob?

I hope it is otherwise you will never live up to your sig.

You should also post what days and time you are looking to SP.

Have Fun!

Think about it. Two points.

One.

Would my sig say what it does if Andrewz was a good person to consort with?

Two.

Do you want to risk your levels and XP on a person who has had Dispel resisted many times? And who does RDM/NIN (a SOLO-ONLY setup) in a party?

Things to consider. Thank you for your time.

lol i pissed him off, i been tryin to appologize but, oh well. my dispel doesnt get resisted btw and i can use what sub i like so lay off

Ohhhhh.

<sniff> <sniff>

Burnt!

Not in my party.
/boot

ok Speedly, that was one time. Games are for fun i wanted to have some fun, not really a big deal. All you had to say was dont try to charm anything. Pld/smn would be your choice btw, its YOUR game but it wouldnt make sence cuz pld are to tank and without provoke is somewhat usless. as for rdm is completly different. All we need is Dispel Refresh and the debuffs. what would be the point of having waterga or stonega? i consider having utsusemi and duel wield compared to junk. Also that AF run was for a few people, it had been a few hours and i got bored. So i left, not really a big deal. Honestly, I been tryin to apologize for all that **** that happened. All you have to do is Unblist me for like 3 mins let me apologize then blist me again, THATS ALL.

Heya Princess of Green ^^
Welcome to America.

About Red Mage meleeing -- I usually against mage meleeing in PT situation unless mage is really careful. The reason is that mage should be resting or prepare for unexpected changes (new mob aggro, stuns, etc) if not casting, and there is some concern of letting the mob getting too much TP.

I have seen a few times Red Mage meleeing in PTs and still do well (and in all cases they sub Ninja). One thing such Red Mages wear melee gear -- I have one time pt with a Red Mage / Ninja 75/37 in the Ul. Range, and he wears Assualt Jerkin and hit accuracy gear all sort non-mage like stuff.

Its not so much as the shadows callista, He subs nin because i'm told he thinks that makes rdm a dd. Two swords with the en-spells might actually be powerful....if you had the STR to back it up.

You don't even know what a RDM is from the looks of things.



What does STR and +Eva/Acc do for a RDM in an exp PT?

Do you even have half of the spells you should have or have you been wasting your gil on Meat Mithkabobs and Attack equips

And since when were you supposed to get hit anyway? The only time you need Utsusemi is when you're tanking. Try saving up some gil for INT rings and Mage clothes.

And as for unblisting you for your pathetic apology? Forget it.



ok? OK? It's best sub for RDM followed by WHM and SMN. What magical benefits do you get from NIN? Hm?



Read this. Carefully.



Lol {/clap}

And this ends my angry rant. {/bow}

This is true. But there are idiotic ones. Everywhere.

Are... are you serious? I DID! At LEAST four times! I have at least two people that can back this up. Are you THAT thick?

Funny... I don't rmemeber posting about any AF run... but way to throw yourself in the fire. Makes my point easier to illustrate.

Heh. Whoosh. Right over your head, eh?

Whoosh again. But I'll explain this one.

It's no different for RDM. I'll use my example of a PLD/SMN.

It -is- possible to tank as PLD/SMN. For that matter, it -is- possible to tank as any job. While it, for most jobs, is not a good idea, there is no one in here that can deny: with the cooperation of the others in the party, even a determined WHM -could- tank.

But it's not a good idea. Why? Well, let's use the WHM-tank example. Why shouldn't a WHM tank? Well, among other reasons, some prime reasons are:

1. A WHM should be focusing on healing the party, not keeping hate.
2. A WHM is simply not built to take hard hits for long periods of time.
3. A WHM lacks many hate-keeping tools. While the WHM could theoretically cure to keep hate, the fact of the matter is (all the PLDs know what I'm talking about here), when you've used your other hate tools and the mob turns with everyone at full HP, it's a bad spot to be in as the tank... because it's a few moments where you just can't do your job.
4. A WHM stands a good chance of not getting Cure spells off because of the incoming hits.

And so on.

My point for all that chatter? Just because you -can- do something doesn't mean it's a good idea. You ever seen a two year old sitting next to a wall socket with a penny in his hand?

Bad times.


I know, repeat quote. Not a typo.

This is only partially correct. Yes, RDMs need Dispel, Refresh, and debuffs. They also need the statistic backup to land them effectively.

Genius, you don't sub BLM to RDM specifically for nuking. You go RDM/BLM for the MP boost (just a little more than /WHM) and for the INT boost (so your debuffs stick). It also gives you spells in the high levels that RDM itself does not give (Stun, Warp, Escape, etc.).

Let's set up a scenario. You're fighting an IT++ mob. The mob is beating the hell out of the tank, but everyone seems to be keeping up okay. The mages capable of healing are becoming desperately low on MP, and the mob has 25% HP left. Suddenly, the mob criticals your tank and puts him deep into the red.

What do you do?

RDM/BLM - You can either throw out your biggest nuke and attempt to kill the mob (highly unlikely), or in the mid levels, you hit Escape and save everyone. The party thanks you, everyone runs back inside, and you continue XPing.

RDM/WHM - Depending on how much guts you have, you can either start chaining Cure spells and attempt to keep the tank alive, or do a nuke-cure (aka: Divine Seal > your biggest Cure spell), keep the tank alive long enough for the melee to successfully make the kill, and win. The party rests up, and continues XPing.

RDM/NIN - Maybe throw a couple weak Cures. Since your MND is not supplemented by a WHM sub and your MP base is not enhanced by a mage sub of any kind, your cures would do jack - if you weren't so drained on MP that you couldn't cast even Refresh on yourself. You cast Utsusemi, and swing feebly at the mob. Your tank goes down three seconds later, quickly followed by the WHM. The mob then turns to you. You blink three shadows, it eats through Stoneskin, and being a RDM, your Phalanx doesn't seem to work too well when this IT++ mob is bearing down on you. Everyone ends up dying. The party gets raises, and disbands because everyone is angry over the unnecessary deaths. Your XPing is over in the party, and possibly your reputation with those five others is, too.


I did. It was when you sent me that invite, completely blind, way back when. You defecated from the mouth for a little bit, before being informed that you were going back on my blacklist.

A place that you should get used to.

So, let me be straightforward about this.

No.

Speedly.

>.<

You're right... I did miss it. ; ;

Sorry Shep

v.v

Well put. Rate up.

Red Mage is a late boming job with its power not reached until 30ish when you get Dispel. I love Red Mage ^^
