The Problem with Red Mage . . .

[ManaKing]

99 vs 99 is practically no difference between either.

There sure isn't, besides preference.

You're simply biased into thinking it's twice as good as CDC when it isn't.

Nope, it's just as good and significantly more consistent, which is what I want. I want to hit for similar numbers most of the time and occasionally deal with some ups and some downs.

I'd rather do between 2-3K consistently and almost never go below 1.6k than deal with doing less. Most I've hit for outside of aby is 4k against mobs in dynamis. That's not bragging, I didn't think I would ever hit that hard with it. That was with dia 3 and full TP and all 8 hits. It's that nice 2-3K area that I hang out in that I care about.

I don't appreciate people telling me that Almace and CDC are better than Excal and Req when I know they are the same but different. I don't care about how high CDC numbers go in cliche situations. That doesn't interest me in the slightest. I care about consistency in WSs, which is something RDM lacked, unless you count being consistently bad at them.

I can only watch my character Z snap so much before I look for something different.
