So if you have RDM you already had access to the staves and have no reason not to make use of them. If as you say you were just using it for procs and absolutely nothing else, then you shouldn't have any gear for it at all, in which case you've no need for the scythe.

I have been making damage staffs for my SCH, and RDM. Later I plan to make trial Magic Acc staffs if that matters much once enfeebling changes, I have been putting them off for the reason of waiting on the verdict on that subject.

Oh sweet merciful Christ...Save yourself the trouble and don't bother with the magic accuracy staves. They are a terrible return on investment and won't be some silver bullet fix to NMs having stupid resist rates/immunities. As one Red Mage to another, take my advice and build yourself a couple nuking staves, they're so much more fun and useful to boot.

This response is most appropriate as long as you strive to gear your primary job(s) with the best gear. As a member of a shell, people know my best geared jobs, my decently geared jobs, and my "if the shell is desperate" jobs.

You also have a responsibility to pass on good gear for your lesser jobs to those who have it as their primary job.

Why? They're a very minor improvement over the NQ staves, if that.

Scythe was actually a stoke of luck getting it, went to get my gf PUP body seals off Titan and teamed up with a PLD going for souls, dropped 2 Scythes in the time we were farming him, my gf got one, and I got the other. Other than that staffs were mostly sold because I had almost no use for them once abyssea nearly killed off RDM being useful, I figured if I wanted staves, I would just make the trial ones sometime.

lol k, I was probably just sticking to nuking anyways, like I said acc were mainly going to be made if the changes to enfeebling magic actually make them worth having, to much work unless there is a noticeable difference.

NQ staves are a minor improvement over NQ staves? What? Perhaps you mistakenly thought I was refering to the higher quality counterparts, in which case you are still being silly because they offer a sizable performance boost. It's a straight percentage increase to damage, which is kind of amazing.

HNMs are dumb>so are Ele staves. Oh wise one.

Yes, thats exactly what was said.

Oh yes we should have timed popped because we're all unemployed and play this game for 12+ hours a day. How dare someone with an actual job try playing this game and still lead a regular life outside the game! They're not the "real" players.

Too easy

Looks like the topic was successfully derailed. Does that mean Timed HNMs deserve to return to the game? No.
