Nope, not what I meant at all. But thanks for trying to put words in my mouth.

Rant retracted. This isn't the place for it. When enfeebling magic actually works as intended, I might pick RDM back up again.

This. BALANCE.

You want "mage onry", go play one.

You want "lolmelee", go play one.

RDM should be able to do both in a reasonable way. We're getting there, slowly but surely.

Pretty much everything you mentioned has been discussed, at length, in other threads on this forum, including some responses from the Devs.

Adding to what Hyrist said; does it really matter? The original statement of "getting invites" was very vague, so I answered in a vague way that still pertained to a time when it was almost...

I've gotten Savage Blade over 1k many times outside of Abyssea, but it was definitely the exception, and not the rule. Usually hovers around 400-700 dmg.

With the mods on it the way they are, I...

"Getting invites" only has to do with the flavor-of-the-month event going on in game. Entire mechanics do not need to be reworked to get us more invites. Were you a RDM 75 back in the pink bird party...

That's just one of the things I love about being a RDM though; we have the variety to choose which works better for our preference. For my play style, I like beating the mob down and buffing while my...

I'm gimp, I have nothing to hide. I've never really had a reason to nuke; I've spent most of my time in game with my wife, who is a good BLM and nukes the pants off of anything we're fighting. I'm...

As for the topic at hand, I've seen that we're getting some new Haste pieces, so getting to Haste cap(or at least really close) is a lot more attainable. I'd like to see some Subtle Blow so that our...

Seriously agreed with Seriha. I can do as much damage as my best nukes with 2 procs of double and/or triple attack in Abyssea. I can nuke something for maybe 1k-ish damage, or swing 5 times...

Is there another version of FFXI coming out? Before each 'collection" came out, the previous one would go out of print for a while. Maybe there's another super-mega collection coming out for 360. I...

MAB/M.Acc magian swords FTW!

I kid, I kid.

It was a great enfeeble if you could land it on a mob that mostly casts spells, since they stop casting and be forced attack. I always had a hell of a time landing it though. It was useful as a buff...

I'm really curious about this "WS adjustment" portion of the update. In that Dev response we got earlier(can't remember if it was in this thread) Camate noted RDM specifically, so my big question is...

I love RDM. I like casting spells and supporting the party. But, I like swinging my sword too, when it doesn't bring the party down.

The two biggest obstacles I see for RDM melee is...

Really? Nobody has brought up bagging on buff cycles in weeks. Is Shiyo just trying to start a fight out of thin air?

I agree, I'm with ya on the goal of using our enfeebling. It's just like, as you said, keeping it balanced is a big concern. Trying to find a fair middle-ground with enfeebling is a headache with how...

My first thought is that it would be overpowered. As it is, our enfeebles don't work on mobs that actually count, so the idea of stacking them, when they don't work in the first place, seems really...

I miss skillchains.

And you still left my quote there, even though the rest of your response is falsely aimed at it. Get out of here with that stuff, man. Hello Ignore button.

What are you talking about? I never posted a video...

More proof you aren't even reading the posts in this thread. Take your trolling elsewhere.

This is something I don't think a lot of the anti-melee crowd seems to understand about the pro-melees. Those of us RDM's who are serious about melee, we get irritated and annoyed by those...

If you think this, if you actually think this, you are either trolling or haven't even bothered reading any of the previous 130+ pages of this thread. This argument has been put to rest more times...

12% haste is pretty bad, honestly. You can get 13% for next to nothing, just Wally turban, NQ dusk hands and feet, Headlong belt. WAR gets crazy amounts of haste gear. My WAR is nothing special, and...
