On Red Mage melee...

Would the "sky fall"? Subjective.

Not really, because in both of the set-ups above as long as everyone doesn't suck you should already be at the point where you are waiting on the Colibri to respawn anyway.

In a Whm Brd Rdm DD DD DD setup? I'll believe it when I see it.

Well, he's half right.

Like everyone else, I spent more time than I would've liked at Colibri camps, but as a pulling BRD. It's not a good setup, but WHM BRD RDM DD DD DD could certainly clear all the birds at the middle camp. What that party setup couldn't do is kill the Wivres, pull from the bottom birds camp, and pull Mamool from up top in addition to keeping all the middle birds cleared.

RDM is a waste of a party slot in that configuration, DDing or otherwise.

When your party is 5/6 people and it's time to fill that sixth spot with damage, it's not the time to be looking for emergency cures, a Dia your healer or 'lazy bard' could throw up, or even a secondary haster.

Wow, you'd have to be crazy to pass up a second BRD for that 6th spot, especially if meriting on Nyzul Mamool or at MMJSP North. 114 attack from double minuets (and the situational madrigal when dealing with THF/NIN Mamools, depending on the quality of DDs) is not insignificant. And I guarantee you that the 'lazy BRD' role at Nyzul Mamool or MMJSP North was anything but lazy.

Suck less and kill wivres and colibri
