Not to mention thats 3 different ws and even if with max buff/temps is still a nice output.

As I've said, haters gonna hate. Just add them to ignore list, that way I never have to deal with GG trolling.

The really funny part is, that wasn't doctored or planned at all. We had just finished killing Tiamat VWNM and I remembered a bunch of people hated and screamed "POIDH!!!101010101". So I scrolled through the log on screen and took snaps of what was there, the last three WS I did. Previously to those three I had done about four or five others, but they scrolled off the screen.

There really is nothing that stops a RDM from dealing damage, no hidden JT that is -100 attack or other silliness. Gear, food, weapons buffs and debuffs, all you need. Gear I've listed before, food was Bison Steak, offensive buffs were haste / enspell / temper, also used the stalwarts tonic, braver's drink and fools drink. Offensive debuffs were Dia III, no dragoon present for Agnon.

The whole point of that pic is to irrefutable proof that should a player put their mind to it, they can deal amazing damage on a "lolRDM". Doesn't mean your only meleeing, good lords no, but dealing damage by virtue of your swords is an option. Melee for damage when possible, if the situation starts getting really hairy then you can always drop back and go pure support mode. Heck I have a special Cure IV macro along with my Cure Pot +10% sword, for when those situations deem it necessary. <stal> is your friend.

The "mage onry" argument would hold more water if there was actually things that required 100% full attention, but with enfeebling completely broken and us unable to be a main healer (melee and main healing do NOT go together), what exactly would a "mage onry" player do? Cast more haste? More refresh? More CureIV? Cast more enfeebles that will get resisted. Slow II / Dia III / Para II aren't exactly hard to land, unless the mobs straight up resistant, and then your no better off in the back. When asked the question, what exactly would a "mage onry" RDM do, the inevitable answer from them is "go change to WHM", thus rendering their entire argument moot.

So like always, haters gonna hate, just gotta ignore them.
