Is it just me, or is this spell ultimately pretty pointless? It shares the same buff slot as regular haste, so you still can't cap without a brd or geo; both of whom will cap everyones attack speed with an indi-haste or marches regardless if the party has haste 1 or 2.
Feels really crappy to bring a rdm for support if you can't even replace a brd||geo, or even let them do an extra buff in place of indi-haste/march.

Agreed, should either make it scale based on skill or on one of the +2/+3 armors add Haste+8/Haste+14
Also I said it before, but let Haste STACK with Slow. -
03-02-2017, 11:01 AMRaydeus
It should stack with Haste 1 and Slow.
But that will never happen. Because "balance". -
03-02-2017, 10:38 PMJakukNot a bad idea having them stack, simple fix too I'd imagine.Quote:

As it stands RDM is screwed over by not only being the only "so called" Enhancer not being able to cap Magical Haste, but also by the fact theirs is the only one that doesn't stack with Slow, so in a LOT of cases is useless having. -
03-05-2017, 01:23 PMAfaniaMG is 15% so if your pt has at least 1 BLU you could do haste2+ Diffusion MG to cap magic haste, then entrust haste after MG wears off. That way you don't need to waste indi bubble slot for haste. If I understand bubble duration correctly that's about 8 min of capped magic haste with 2 min window, so it works on anything that dies in less than 8 min.Quote:

Honestly haste2 would be so much more useful if it's 30.25% haste, but I'm not sure if haste2 is exactly 30% or if the exact haste value is never properly tested. -
03-05-2017, 03:15 PMNyarlkoYour example would require RDM/BLU/GEO as a base which really keeps party setup pretty narrow... since you still have to have tank/healer, it's not really a healthy situation to be in :/Quote:

Sooooo... I have a different suggestion. Change the effect of Haste2 to grant JA haste. XD I honestly have no idea if this is technically possible, but it would give a unique place for Haste2 (and RDM by association) within our combat math. There are very, very few sources of JA haste available to us, while magic haste has plentiful sources.. Should probably be accompanied by a raise in the JA category cap to at least 30% though.. Even if Haste 1/2 still shared the buff slot, this would at least open up a few other options in job/sub party combos I'd think. Allow Temper to target party members and RDM would probably jump to FOV status. ;) -
03-05-2017, 10:31 PMTraxus
If you're using blu DDs, they can already cap themselves, so even the number of people haste 2 is helping in such a pt would be pretty narrow lol.

03-05-2017, 11:24 PMJakukNot when it'd come at the cost of being nerfed into the ground because of it, thus destroying one of the few buffs RDM get that are actually good.Quote:

03-06-2017, 04:13 AMAfaniaWhat I meant is if your pt setup is something like BLU SAM RDM COR GEO WHM you could save an indi bubble slot for fury and get 8 min of capped magic haste. That's actually 3 people benefiting from haste2+ MG in the setup I mention above, assuming RDM and COR is DDing like they should.Quote:

03-08-2017, 09:48 AMNyarlkoI meant in combination with changing Haste2 to JA haste. XD You are probably right about them leaning towards nerfing Temper for group members, but probably more like 20% rather than 10%.. Don't you think that TA+20% & 25%-30% JA haste (in addition to it's otherwise massive toolkit) would be enough for RDM to carve out it's own niche nowadays?Quote:

If those spells gets adjustment you'd just see a bandwagon of RDM army only make an enhancing magic skill set and start doing endgame on it, like how people come COR with just a roll set, or near naked SCH just to make SC.
Not to mention triple attack went down to 20% is a massive nerf to RDM DPS itself, why would anyone want that lol. -
03-08-2017, 01:01 PMNyarlkoI don't see lowering the skill reqs for general use as a bad thing, and it would still take skill to play optimally. It would still be just as easy to pick out the bandwagoners as spotting those roll-only CORs or nekkid SCHs. Jobs get bandwagoned because the job is good btw. XD Given how RDM has kinda lost it's niche nowadays, it can't possibly be a bad thing if it was worth bandwagoning.Quote:

03-08-2017, 04:38 PMJakukNot really, unless the Temper cap was when party targeted only, that or add Enhances "Temper" effect received to a piece of AF (Hello Emp+3) to add that extra back, I don't see why RDM's already limited melee skill should be nerfed for it, after all it's one of the basis' for their lack of good armour.Quote:

Not like I'll ever get it mind you (will probably never get KIs from vagary), but for those RDM that are interested in playing in groups it would be a nice bonus considering RDMs need to cast buffs individually.
Then they need to make RDM enf spells have a high chance to resist full erase TP moves based on enfeebling skill over 500, because from what I've read the are too many end game mobs that just full erase all enfeebs so often it makes casting them almost as pointless as when mobs were just flat out immune to them. And that's without even considering how trivial the effects of Slow, Para, Dia, etc. are to begin with in their current values.
And finally, instead of making Haste II JA haste they should decrease the magic haste cap to 40% or 415/1024 (after making Haste 1 and 2 stack) and give melee jobs more JA haste options:
-NIN should get an AoE Haste JA at lvl 35 that gave 5% Haste and scaled to 10% by lvl 99, and that generated a substantial amount of enmity (equal to Provoke) when used, with a duration/recast timer of 1:30 (like Samba.) As a sub this JA's Haste could be locked at 5% and be self target only without enmity gain.
-DNC Haste Samba merits should give 2% per rank instead of 1%.
-WAR's Warcry should give 5-10% JA Haste as well, but not when subbed.
-COR's Blitzer's should be changed to JA Haste instead of reduced delay like it currently is.
-MNK Footwork +5% JA Haste (self only, just like Last Resort for DRK)
And while I'm probably missing some jobs I think you get the idea by now. -
03-09-2017, 01:42 PMSongenrdm is jack of all trades. its DD value is suppose to be present, however its not ment to be in the high DD catergory. having said that, i have seen some rdm's pump out some pretty impressive numbers for DD. you have to gear it right tho for that.Quote:

SE STILL needs to fix para proc rate, raise poision/dia/bio DoT, raise the potency of the dia/bio status effects from 15% to at least 20%. Add in magic def to dia, magic attack to bio.
Outside that, either nerf the living crap out of all the other jobs magical haste or give rdm accessionable haste 3 or hastega 3. Brd, blu, geo can all hit AoE versions of haste and geo and brd can both cap magic haste -

Finally looked like they might be adding gear to buff enhancing.
But nope, actually enfeebling.Quote:

I'm a solo RDM so the only thing for me in this update is the Warmachine mount. Everything else requires other people and punishes you for even trying to solo it so I wont even bother.
Though unfortunately I'm running out of quests and soloable stuff so while I ended up not cancelling my sub this month at this rate I don't think I'll play for more than a couple more months. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -

SE refused to fix rdm in any way short of gimp still. This is why i feel SE has been leading us on a long time with hope to melee in end game with haste II, temper II. If rdm cannot support and parse with its enfeebles working for all I dont really see how a rdm/nin or any rdm can ever be in this end game and enjoy fun with friends. Leaving RDM as is leaves rdm as nothing more than wieghted stone around neck!
The FFXI stubborn player base would say and for good reason that RDM brings nothing to the table. YOU CANT COME! so now all can do is level blu and be one of the mass minions. This is after you spent 1500mil easy trying to fix rdm best one could only to realize you will NEVER BE WANTED IN THIS endGAME.
Thanks alot SE for making rdm in ff14 before you EVER FIX THIS CRAP JOB you intentionally ruin for us all who loved it and PAID to play the job as main in misery for years! SE you betray all of us RDM in this game! I was told long ago... "If want be a hero you got to have dreams!". SE kills all dreams of a future for rdm.
Now im just waiting to see if some of the actually ideas posted on how to try fix rdm on forums will be used to better SE's new ff14 rdm. We expect this because it not like all dont agree SE took some best ideas to fix rdm we posted and made there new GEO that has no issues to deal with and has taken the place of rdm in all ways.
a job worth doing is a job worth doing right! no honor! no glory! do the honorable thing SE and do what you promised! this is simple math at this point and rdm fails at it! Show us you still can count and fix rdm who is the BIG ZERO in this game -
06-22-2017, 05:57 PMshantaru
thorva just because you have some team of gods that lets you leech a spot in this game does not mean you know anything about rdm and i dont want take nap on rdm. Your post are retarded and ill say it as parrot 100000 time for you. Mean people suck and i hate leeches.

im right behind you i cleared about all solo quest and content i can stand or think of and SE will never fix rdm
