Temper Fail and...Enhancing Magic? What's that?

[geekgirl101]

Refresh isn't needed for Abyssea thanks to Atma of the Minikin Monstrosity.

In some big fights I've had to refresh people, especially mages who nuke their mana away like crazy.

WHMs can Haste, use AoE versions of Barspells and Protectra/Shell.

RDMs can cast Haste faster and their enhancing magic is more superior to WHM's enhancing magic. With RDM/WHM you can cast WHM barspells that are as potent as the RDM version.

What's the point of using Phalanx 2 when no one wants a RDM?

Some tough boss situations my ls was happy to have me as RDM primarily to phalanx the tanks and to aid with proccing spells.

Any good WHM /SCH so they're equal.

Haste is a flat rate however and is not affected by enhancing skill, so unless the WHM, SCH, whatever is too busy cure bombing DD's who don't understand hate control it becomes rather moot.

While I like your attitude, Phalanx II has become fail lately. PLD's get their own Phalanx 1, and with how they both scale differently, my 3/5 Phalanx II (full gear swaps) was 1 point weaker then a 90 PLD's capped Phalanx 1 (no gear swaps). At 91+ this will grow worse. Its because of this that I unmerited Phalanx II and put them into Dia III instead, the one spell I found that I used consistently and was never resisted or otherwise mitigated.

All our merited spells should be on scrolls with the merits being +enhances for them. We should get merits that enhanced Dia / Slow / Paralyze / Phalanx / Blind and such.
