Maybe you should ask yourself why you were banned to begin with.

I got an Email telling me why I was banned, I need not ask that to which I already know the answer.

Just because your job is on a weapon doesn't mean you're going to be good with it no matter what it is. SE is retarded for putting jobs being able to use certain weapons with no benifit whatsoever.

You see, part of why RDM needs a sword, and should use one and be good with it, is because in today's FFXI we have nothing we can do better than a SCH/RDM really, SCH is much better at both white and black magic than we can hope to be, it stole our role in that respect, our third part to our job, melee, is the only thing that makes us special anymore.

The fact you held all this crap in waiting with baited breath to be unbanned so you come come to RDM's rescue makes me wonder why you give so much of a crap about a job you know that SE isn't going to do anything with anymore other then give it silly lil buffs which serve no benifit whatsoever outside of solo *Looking at you Temper* or whatever else suits your fancy.

If we got real melee gear, like Buremte, more often, we could use Temper and the like on the front lines, and fill that role as well as back line roles, we could also use a trait to allow us to attack while casting, which would solves that entire issue, but no, people are against the idea of RDMs ever using a sword, always have been, always will be I suppose. As for why do I care, I started as RDM and played it from then till now, I have always done my best to melee when given the chance, I have always tried to better myself, and I have always put all of my work into it, even through other jobs. My care about RDM is because I worked hard on the job, I worked hard to be good at the job, and I worked hard to learn everything I could about the job, and in the end it amounts to nothing if the job itself amounts to nothing, so I care because I think of myself as one of the best there are when it comes to RDM, and I think the job deserves better, just like every PLD feels like it deserves better, and every THF feels like it deserves better.

RDM's a good job even now just it won't be anything you think you want it to be.

Please, explain to me what great use a RDM can be that a SCH/RDM can not already fulfill.

Sooner you wake up and realize that, the happier you'll be.

Perhaps you are the one who needs to make the realization of RDM's place in the game currently, and you can understand the anger and frustration rather than complaining about those who exhibit it.

I see RDM's place perfectly. My Linkshell loves a damn good RDM in delve. The people in our shell who play RDM do a damn good job with the tools they have and not the tools you think they should have.

You not once explained what RDM can do that SCH can not, till you can provide me an argument that actually explains why RDM is better than SCH/RDM, why it had a use, this argument will mean nothing. I know people take RDM to Delve, I know people who do it, but it does not change the fact that the majority of SCHs I know have Atinian and the ability to do my job just as well as I do, and that has never changed, at best RDM has a slight upper hand right now with Buramenk'ah, and that's at best, as soon as the 119 Staff comes out there will be no exceptions, SCH will flat out be better at Enfeebling than RDM is. No matter how good a job your RDMs do with what they have, it does not change the fact that the same person would do better as a SCH/RDM doing the same job, if they know how to play SCH.

I know I said I would never post in this thread again but man... you are just too dramatic not to respond too. HA!

It really sounds like you need to pick up Blue Mage or Scholar... Red Mage has been in this slump for years. It does have it's strengths that you don't seem to see. In it's current pool of jobs, Sch might just be the upper tier of jobs to play in it's Magic Role. And that goes the same for Blu in it's Melee/Magic fusion role.

All I can say at this point is...

It has strengths I don't see, yet, no one has the ability to state. If I wanted to play BLU or SCH, I would, fact is, I do not, I like RDM, I built my Excalibur and Almace for RDM, there is no reason why RDM can not be fixed, none at all, other than people ignorant enough to think its fine as it is and SE's lack of belief that it needs changing, the former likely fuels the latter as well which only makes things worse in the end.

I say again though, if you can state the advantages and strengths RDM has which makes it worth bringing to events and not just a job you bring because it can get the job done even though other jobs do it better, please, be my guest, explain them. Till then, arguing RDM has strengths I am missing is a pointless argument, I have played the job for years, I have played it primarily over every job, and I have tried to make it work for every situation and in every way I can, and yet I fail to see this mystical power which is so cleverly hidden within the job that makes it fine as it is.

at best RDM has a slight upper hand right now with Buramenk'ah, and that's at best, as soon as the 119 Staff comes out there will be no exceptions, SCH will flat out be better at Enfeebling than RDM is.

Bura is still 15 less macc than NQ atinian. So I'd imagine they are probably about even on enfeebling with maybe a slight lead to sch more so if it is taking advantage of weather and klimaform

Yeah, RDM's only reason for possibly winning right now is that RDM can use the same things, Weather and Klimaform with /SCH and top it off with a higher Enfeebling Magic Skill naturally, which should put it just a bit above SCH with their Magic Accuracy JA I would think. What's annoying more than anything to me personally is that even if I finish my Mythic and 119 it, a 119 Delve Staff SCH will have more Magic Accuracy than I will most likely, since my Mythic will have no INT/MND, and only +30 Magic Accuracy on it outside of the ilevel Magic Accuracy, where as the staff will likely have something like 15 INT/MND and the same Magic Accuracy or more than my Mythic will.
