Practical Soultions to Issues with RDM.

[Mageoholic]

I like how Mageoholic talks like Gains are single party target instead of single target self only.

You must not know what italics represent in lists, or have read anything I typed earlier. We are talking about what allowing our spells to work allows for please keep up.

I don't think a magic debuff series would be possible because of how strong a high tier Shell is. But if it was a low % like -5% with a decent Enfeebling skill gear set it might be possible. I'm still not sure how I feel about this one.

Shell can be dispelled, all these would do is reduce a mobs resistance to spells (MACC/MEVA) and a jobs defense to spells (MDB). As for the MEVA reduction, there are other jobs who can apply this as well, infact RDM can apply this currently via Death Blossom and Enspell II's. So maybe we don't need an MEVA spell. (other ways to lower resistance are AMII's, Ninjitsu Ele wheel).

And at this point in the game I do not see why we can not have Regain, Cor has 2 different rolls it can provide that offer Regain from 1-5 TP/tick (Companions and Tacticians roll), and with Save TP roll it is clearly not an issue with balance the abilities to regain are in the game, and it would not hurt if another job got them, considering SE allows 25+ TP to be saved on every WS.

Stop assuming things are coming to RDM. You seriously misleading yourself and wasting your time.

Im not assuming things are coming to RDM, or really even asking for things to come to RDM. Everything I have suggested is something RDM already has, and are things other jobs can already do. I am asking SE fix what RDM currently has, I mentioned 2 new debuffs, 1 new buff simply because as I was going through the list of abilities other support jobs had those 3 jumped out at me as something that either several have, or that are currently limited.

You have a really valid point here that I did not think about. If the design team was to remove the self-target + no Accession restriction on RDM gain spells it would allow him/her a lot more options on how to buff a group vs. a WHM's Boost-spells. Overall, RDM gains a unique feature with out becoming a lesser version of a WHM.

Yeah too bad that isn't going to happen. A lot of what if and not a lot of actual substance. You guys just don't read the Dev posts or something?

Oh ok that makes everything more clear. You just don't want to look at what dev's are posting and only want to talk about what you think they should do. Excellent. So you just don't pay attention.

Having just read SE's recent announcements on PLD and DRK, it is pretty sad that they can't even stop by and say here is the direction we have in mind for RDM. Honestly updating Shield Bash and Weapon Bash was a priority? what with DNC having violent flourish on a short recast and BLU with their hand full of stuns already.

Would be nice to have some feedback SE. What is the jobs purpose, where do you see it going forward. 8 years of silence is pathetic.

See you are starting to get it. Most of us have been here for the last year. Lots of crickets. Not a lot of updates. Lots of in-fighting.

Should have abandoned hope a long time ago.

Love you <3
