Rdm has a good niche right now, its not worthless. Go to Voidwatch! you will mostly cast Addle, Slow2, and Paralyze (whenever it works, i think never). Blind will often land and Bio3/Dia3 can help a little too. Mostly though you're a proc whore. and Rdm is really good at this because of its huge Fast Cast and you can even Nuke during Blitz time.

Well now that it's been shown that Req ignores all PDT / Physical Shielding it does have a decent function. It'll be useful on NMs that like to screw you over. Damage won't be that great, but it'll be better then resisted Vorpals / CDC.

It could possibly see some use by Paladins on some of the bigger "Screw you" T6 Jeuno NMs like Botulus. Those tend to be really, really nasty though, so I'd really question either of the other sword users using it to much effect on those mobs - or even being present/in range at all.

Honestly, the biggest endgame use I see for this WS for rdm/blu is knocking out Pil's shield.

PINK MAGE!!!!!!

Idk what to say but not really interested in doing nothing. Kinda takes away the point of playing a well rounded class if you just sit on the side lines and play a portion of it....

I don't melee all the time, but I don't kite when I solo. I just take 25 minutes to solo things with a sword. It's fun.

There is nothing fun about playing a traditional WHM. It's just a necessary job. Why would playing a worse version of that be something anyone is interested in?

Ok we need more testing on this.

Today we decided to go screw around in sea and start building a pop set for JoL / AV. Did Jailer of Temperance . Now those that have done sea before know that JoT has different "modes" where he's only vulnerable to specific damage types.

With rings out, only vulnerable to Slashing damage.
With poles out, only vulnerable to Piercing damage.
With nothing out, only vulnerable to Blunt damage.

So while it's got poles out, I decide to use Req to bypass it's damage resistance, and low and behold Req did exactly 0 damage. This immediately raised red flags because isn't Req supposed to bypass those resistances, that was kinda the entire point of the WS. SE even made a statement that they weren't going to change the -20% attack due to it bypassing those very same resistances I just ran into.

Next time I'm in Dyna Tav I'm going to pull a PLD mob and do Req during Invincible and see what happens. I was taking someone's word before that it bypassed that. Anyone else have actual experience with this WS vs damage resistances?

[ManaKing]

I'll go play in Dynamis while I'm farming and see if I can specifically target some PLDs. I'm not 100% if they are even in Dynamis-Valkurm, but if they are, ill test it.

[Seriha]

Could just chase down one of the campaign NMs if you don't want to burn a dynamis run.

[ManaKing]

Already burned, got some feet to drop for me though so overall it was a profitable run.

To answer the Question: Yes. Requiescat goes through a PLDs Invincible. It still hit for the same damage as normal, which is underwhelming vs. a PLD mob.

[saevel]

Ok thanks. Now to test it vs more things we run into. The only thing worthwhile is that it is supposed to work on those NM's that have crazy weird resistances and say "screw you" to things like CDC / Vorpal / Evis. If it's only conditionally working then I might demerit it and put those instead into Stardiver or something.

To me it seems like it's basically the Twilight Scythe style damage, in that it only goes through crap like Invincible and Stoneskin. It doesn't even go through turtle defense which was supposed to be the type it was.
