Can we stop the pissing contest common among us RDMs long enough to help this guy out please?
I said Dux for the reasons i've stated. People may not agree. That's fine. Haste is very important to damage output. -PDT and VIT are important to outlasting the enemy.
OP please take all things into account such as what you're fighting and tactics which may need more damage for fast kills(haste build) or slower kills because it hits harder (-pdt/cure potency).
I love this job and it's really the only thing i play. My main problem is that since it can do so much the community has widely varying opinions and gets rather vocal about it.
Take what you want from what we've said and play however you please. THAT is they joy of being a Red Mage.
