Who would actually LIKE that post?!

lol, what was wrong with my post? i was just commenting on the current nature of redmage and some various tactics lol. a redmage should never just be "sitting idle" when in an event setting.

A rdm shouldn't sub war or dnc and melee in an event setting either.

She never said come /war or /dnc to a event, just that you shouldn't just sit there idle.

The "various tactics" presented were almost all melee-oriented.

Cast nukes then if you're not doing anything else. People seem to forget that RDM has all elemental magic up to Thunder IV.

yea, most redmages WOULD say that lol.

if im not in a Void watch setting, or something that ABSLOUTELY requires me to be at a distance, then im most definately meleeing. its not that redmage is ANY less effective when meleeing, its that people dont have the practice, macros or gear builds to actualy HANDLE meleeing on redmage whilst preforming another role.

when was the last time ANY of you ever picked up a -50% PDT build subbed warrior and attempted to tank? how do you know its inefective? have you tried it? or you just regurgitating what the gaming society has deemed "acceptable"? i mean have you seriously put forth a Recognizable effort into playing redmage outside of its Social Cookiecutter?

see THIS is why we never get anything good. because people dont dig to find shit, theyre too ready to go " AH EM GEE MY JERB ISUNT AZ GUD AS ANOTUHR! I HAIVE TU NURD RAG IN FURMS CUZ I SUX".

here is a PRIME example
i play WOW on the side; for those of you dont know, there is 3 assigned roles in that game and your job/specialization is not supposed to play outside of its Pre defined role. like Holy paladin isnt supposed to Melee DPS, its supposed to be a healer or offensive caster.
my example is with Protection paladin (tanking spec) being Inferior to Retribution paladin (DPS spec) at tanking instances (dungeons) for levels 10-60. the DD job HANDS DOWN crushes the tanking job. now even tho im more effective as a tank, and im putting out far superior damage per second, and able to solo any boss/trash pull as a DD, people still whine and bitch untill they actualy see it in action first hand, because they've been so ingrained with the thought of " DD's can only dd, Tanks can only tank, Heals can only Heal" that they cant see past the shit to the real truth. i looked past the shit to the truth, and posted/talked ALOT about it, now its become a socialy acceptable way to progress through levels 10-60. go figure.


i just want people to try new play styles. if you do this, it makes your "RDM sucks at everything and needs to be more uber" argument all the more effective; i want people to stop flinging premade ideals and cookie cutter builds/tactics. be creative, use your mind and dont be some thoughtless player.

the more people inform themselves, the more they experiment, the more likely they are to make a compelling enough argument to sway SE's feelings on whatever the current topic is. Knowledge is power baby.

stuff

I know how to use a core I7 processor to make a nifty Coffee Warmer / Hot Plate. I'm not gonna go on the interwebs and spout off about how people are closed minded because they think it should be used in a computer. Some things, while fun to you, are still dumb. Your welcome to do them, but don't come on the net expecting people to pat you on the back for it.

Math. lol @ tanking meaning provoke and a melee weapon

Other people are going to do a bang up job of dissecting all the misinformation and soapbox self-righteousness of your responses.

I just don't like you because your diction and keyboarding suck.

We can't have nice things because we can never agree on anything. SE supposedly has a plan for RDM and it will probably annoy at least half of us.

Guess what? RDM is a wide job. I don't think you can make everyone happy with it, but you certainly can try. Some people will never be happy regardless of what you give them so we'll just have to see how SE deals with it.

By our last post from someone official on the forums, it looks like they have no actual intention of telling us what or how they are changing RDM before hand.
