[dev1139] Embrava and Prefect Defense - Just say 'NO'

[Luvbunny]

What's the difference between using PD and stun locking a mob? none so stop justifying legion.

So basically make a party of 4 summoner, sch, and rdm to focus on stun locking the mob while the other two parties focus on DD + buffers? Probably want to keep this strategy out of the forum, lest they are doing another adjustment to further nerf summoners, scholar and red mage.

BRD still offers more than Embrava for short zerg fights. This isn't the first time SE has done this though... anyone remember when RDMs only subbed DRK for hard content? I do, but I can't for the life of me remember why they did that.... oh wait

LOL, yeah, but we should not posting useful information on how to defeat content in the most feasible ways. Whenever said strategy is becoming increasingly popular, you can bet that "an adjustment" is coming your way to make sure that content is not beatable and no one can go pass through the invisible walls.

The only way left to nerf RDM would be to delete the job altogether.

Considering pretty much everything that RDM can do, can be done better with other jobs...you are probably right. Though I still think that SE can do good with RDM job and make it shine again. They did great revamping SCH, WHM, DRG, BST and PUP and literally resurrect them from the dead.

A couple of smaller buffs and fair treatment in the future is all RDM would need to be viable. It's biggest downfall is a bad reputation that keeps it from being included in content that it can be useful in. The job isn't that bad, it's just not broken good or handed everything.

Brave(+20%Attack/Acc)/Faith(+20%MAB/MAcc) & I think RDM is fine for the most part.

with the amoutn of refresh gear floating about changing regain to fresh is still pissing me off lol i think i just said no again

When your haste is capped regain isn't that much of a big deal, it's the new duration that really killed it. You won't be able to effectively use it in legion/Nyzul etc when you need to adjust BRD buff when it wears.

I think RDM could use a lot more spells: TP reduction, plague, magic defense bonus, magic damage absorb, reducing mob physical damage resistance, reducing mob magic damage resistance, magic attack bonus spells, magic accuracy spells. You should look at blue mage and how spoiled that job is, pretty much have all the enfeebling spells that can be shared with RDM. All those spells would make RDM shine once again, and obviously more youtube videos of people actually playing the job correctly, having fun, and stretching the limit of what you can do as RDM.

Only problem with those spells is SE would more than likely give them to SCH before RDM ever got a look in, and if they somehow DID decide RDM should have them, they`d be self cast only.

SE have never considered RDM to be a buffing job, if they did all our spells wouldn't be self cast only or single target.

I want them selfcast, so perfectly fine with me, make them the exact same as Temper except with 1 being Attack/Acc & 1 being MagicAttack/MagicAcc & Ill be happy.
