Personal temper findings

[ManaKing]

2.) Temper will matter when it can either be used with Accession or cast on other players. It should have been able to be cast on other players to start with, but apparently RDMs would rather screw around with melee than have an actual job to do.

RDMs don't have actual jobs. Just the ability to try their best and then be told they are inferior because their job is inferior. Temper is as irrelevant as RDM itself. At the end of the day COR has had AOE double attack buffs forever and RDM still doesn't know what it is good at because Aby trashed it and VW really doesn't have a place for it either that people respect.

Gotta love people say things like "do you job" but can't actually say what RDM's "job" is other then "anything not holding a sword". They will attempt to throw the "enfeebling" work out there but we've gone over that to death already. It takes a few seconds to apply the enfeebles that will stick (if that), and then your free for a couple of minutes.

Get back to helping cure/buff the DDs who are apparently dropping like flies and/or nuking.

Meleeing > Nuking for damage.

And with Cure IV spamming lolz.

Might as well come WHM instead if that's what your going to do.

Pretty much. RDM works fine for spot healing, but you really can't have a RDM heal unless you are talking about 2 RDMs instead of 1 WHM.

RDM are still tied to Tier IVs for Nukes. I haven't gotten my Twilight Cloak to drop yet to try out Impact on my RDM, but it's the only thing we could possibly have that would compete with an Almace. With Spontaneity and Convert, you could actually get Impact off relatively quickly without worry to hard about your MP reserves. Casting Impact back to back doesn't make a lot of sense because you'd want to ride the timer on the Stat Down Debuff unless Impact can do significantly more damage outside of aby than I've seen.

Yep that is the sad part. One of our best debuffs is from a cloak. RDM/SCH using the 50% cost strategem could do pretty well in keeping the -20% stat effect up. Does damage as well, just at a ridiculous MP cost. But since there isn't much else to toss our MP out on mind as well do that.

Funny thing on Spells costing a ton of MP. You can get more TP from Occult Acumen. /SCH would be a better use than /DRK, but /DRK sounds like more fun.

I'm assuming that you can use Spontaneity on Impact, otherwise RDM just sucks as usual.

If you're free for a couple of minutes on the only event you'd use Rdm in because it has unique procs, well it's not my fault your DD are dying while you're too busy to cure them now is it?
