Said like someone from 2008.

Something you might not of noticed lately, RDM isn't exactly capable of healing much. Especially a DD going ZOMG DIE DIE DIE DIE without regards to the damage their taking.

RDM is fine as support healer, it's what I do all the time. And yes /WAR is a horrible sub now for any Hybrid RDM, better to be /DRK because at least then you get some utility out of it. Two current favorites are /NIN and /DNC depending on what I'm doing. /SCH for pure support mode when it's called for.
.

You know sitting back and letting ppl put their foot in the mouth is so much fun. Support healing is still healing. And even a Cure IV is better than letting a DD go down on the front line with a lame excuse that RDM is or isn't any good at doing it. A Cure IV can be more than enough to keep a guy up til the WHM can get to them.

Main Healer =/= Support Healer.

RDM's can toss out Cure IV's to sprinkle HP around. They will be capable of healing that guy who just got hit hard but isn't in danger of dieing in the near future. They will NOT be capable of preventing the death of the guy who the monster has taken a desire to killing. The recast on Cure IV is such that a NM is capable of dealing much more damage then you are capable of healing in the same time period. A WHM or a BLU will be capable of keeping said individual alive, and sometimes not even they can work miracles.

Now we all know your just trolling to stir sh1t up. Goes back to your original comment that the RDM must obviously be the problem for some WAR wearing twilight.

It was a joke, you miss it. I'm done with this.

For sure. The ASSUMPTION is that you have a WHM instead of pretending a RDM is a main healer. If you don't cure at all on a RDM and you aren't watching others, then you really aren't playing anything.

An Almace is great, but it hardly makes up for not being an actual DD. Just like Cure IV is great, but it hardly makes you a main healer. Without appropriate job abilities and traits that synergize the job, you really can't expect most people to take RDM that seriously. The job is/and most likely will always be limited to being 2nd best at everything.

More like forth, behind BLU (all) and SCH (magically)
