Practical Soultions to Issues with RDM.

[ManaKing]

I don't see people asking white mages to whip out their mauls just because Afflatus Misery and Cura are designed around being in melee range.

It's more like those spells and abilities are generally useless because they'd require a mage to be in melee range.

Otherwise, you missed the sarcasm. That or uMad to the nth degree. Take a few dozen chill pills and stop posting for a week or something.

I guess you missed the part were I'm allowed to have an opinion of dissatisfaction about the current implementation and future prospects of my job that I play. I guess I should post something stupid like, 'come at me bro' or some other internet trash to make you happy GG. I understand you like getting attention by intentionally disagreeing with people and trying to make be rude to them after they have agreed with you, but honestly I don't really care about your dissonance. Just stick to actually discussing RDM and stop making all the side trips to insulting people. It's just not necessary.

One thing at a time.

Absolutely not. It takes years for anything to be updated. We need it as quickly as possible and as much at a time as we can get. Stop being complacent. That's how SE can hand us trash like Break and Gravity 2 and expect everything to be OK.

Gains and Boosts don't stack? Oh that's ok SE you basically just dicked us over in a party setting, but it's cool. I mean we have such an overwhelming party presence already to fall back on from all the half asses attempts SE has made at giving RDM a growth chart from 76>99.

What is big is having our spells actually work, and being able to cast them in the first place.

No see that is what was already needed. They failed at implementing it and we've gotten to suffer for it. Stop thinking that you are being unreasonable for asking your job to work.

No one gives a shit about RDM's third-rate Barspells, and unless you think RDM's going to be a main healer again no one gives a shit about their Gain spells either.

It's Temper that people would want cycled, so cry moar about how hard that is.

Agrees with GG. There was nothing generous about RDM not being able to share Temper. It effectively locked us out of party play. No one cares about anything but the best because they only plan around best case scenarios when they put together parties. They aren't voluntarily going to look for a 2nd rate version of something they can get a 1st rate version of. That would just be bad planning.

Our bar spells are trash compared to what a WHM can qualitatively and quantitatively do with their versions of the spells. Unless Gain and Boost Spells are going to stack, no one is going to care either. The point where Temper becomes desirable is the point where it can be placed on others and it stacks other all other versions of it. If COR and RDM give you even more Double Attack than either separately, then you can plan around amazingly broken amounts of DA. If not, then you invite the COR and you invite the RDM only when you can't find a COR.

As it stands, RDM is the Jack of Second Rate. Not even the King/Queen of it. We are grossly under-powered for party standards of desirability.
