Reading this thread has diminishing returns.

Reading this thread has diminishing returns.

Hilariously enough, THIS is using the term correctly.

Edit: Crap. Kitkat may end up giving this thread increasing returns after an inflection point if this goes on, though. Come on Red Mage forums, don't fail me now.

Lol, yeah right....as you said, this is the rdm forum.

I think he's onto something. What if you offhanded Thanatos Baselard to make your enfeebles more effective without having to swap weapons and lose TP? I think it's worth checking out.

No Way! You must off hand Stun daggers.

I just want to know what kind of mob(s) Hideka is successfully tanking (i.e. not being the only one hitting it) as rdm/war. Both inside and outside abyssea.

Yea but no one shows up on RDM to a event on a sub dd job that's just common sense at this point right. I mean you wouldn't get past 10 post here on the forums thinking that way.

Wishful thinking. :/

Wait, if that's so, then why can't i be a main tank on my SCH...I mean, I have a form of shadows, damage mitigation, and (lol)Sandstorm with a GAMEBREAKING VIT+?!

Frankly im getting a bit tired of the pissing-contest on the rdm forums that seems to follow Great Guardian and Neisan Quetz's posts. At this point, i agree with some of the others that rdm shouldnt be locked to one role, so lets break out our thick glasses, calculators, pocket protecters, and start number crunching like nerds, find out real useful things and stop nitpicking semantics. I want to know what is my potential, not what Joe-blow thinks about my ability to do it. Lets contribute constructive information at this point and not destructive comments. I hope others can get behind my message when i say, grab your staffs, swords, daggers, bows, clubs, pinwheels, shields, and whatever else you can carry and get crackin! If i can find a parser that i like, ill even start getting numbers going myself. Feel free to direct me to one if possible.

Can I even post the link to kparse? w/e, it's easy to find on google, just look up Motenten.

DPS sheets (there isn't one for Rdm, I just modify the Pld Sheet):

my first post was nothing but pure information and values. if you didnt get caught up in the crap storm people have been tossing my way for even suggesting that rdm could be viable at anything other then backline roles

Actually, I think the course of the thread was:
Informational post that misused "Diminishing Returns".
People call out misuse.
Instead of admitting a mistake was made, OP (that would be you) gets all defensive about how s/he chose to use "Diminishing Returns".
Some arguing about the value of selecting proper words to articulate what you actually mean.

Then...

random OUT OF THE BLUE post from lolWackyland about how GREAT RDM is with war subJob for tanking and dd-ing and using DEFENDER that ppl hav n instant negative lol reaction to orz!

Then the discussion went from there.
