Practical Soultions to Issues with RDM.

#1 Crit damage caps at 50% according to the ranger forums last i checked (while looking into jishnu builds) even if crit rate does not. PDT/MDT cap at 50% (excluding situations where pets are involved). Recasts cap at 50%, Fast cast used to cap at 50%, there is quite a few things that do cap at 50% so it was a fair assumption qualified with "Assuming" not "It does".

#2 STILL Nitpicking the information that is not fully understood by you or me? Sarcasm not appreciated as it does not contribute to your argument. Try some respect because your lack of it is rather tired and old.

#3 This is common knowledge, and while that would lower overall damage yeild, A summoner invited ONLY for double attack auraing and told not to pact would be on the scale of effect of a redmage only invited for temper. In which case again my argument is supported that it might be MORE useful to have a cor providing the double attack roll than a redmage and a corsair. Someone would need to do the math but i still think 3 good DD with more double attack wouldnt beat 4 DD and unless you are going to remove the whitemage from this specific party in that situation and make the redmage and cor double up for heal duty.

#4 This is more useful and thankyou for giving me someone to ask, however even in your statement here you show that you havent seen any information from this source that says a rate over 50% can be achieved. While i dont doubt there is a possability (especially post 75 cap) thats still no concrete evidence.

Additional note; Yes Twilight belt isnt good for monk, but its not exactly bad persay, i use a brown belt because they made it nigh-impossible to get a black belt these days. However if you are capping haste, stacking MORE haste over something that provides other benefits (double attack?) would be a bit of a waste. Not everyone has a blackbelt still and like i said, some monks use them, not all. If you leveled monk and didnt have a black belt, you could have reason to use a t-belt. Or if you do have one and dont need say your leg slot to be that 6% haste, again you could switch it out.

1) Crit damage caps at 100% and the Ranger forums are retarded. They removed the cap on this ages ago.

Recasts are uncapped as of the level 99 patch. Testing has shown that you can break -80% recast. No one's bothered to see if it's an 87.5% cap or not, though. I'm lazy and don't really care since 80%+ is nice enough.

Name the other "few things" that cap at 50%. Nothing does. PDT and MDT only.

2) Who says I don't "fully understand" jack shit? There is no known cap on Double Attack aside from 100%.

3) Nah. Red Mage can actually do its job while also casting Temper. A Summoner has to very specifically not do their job in order to give auras. Also, there is no reason why a Corsair would use Fighter's Roll in the current build of the game period.

4) Last time I read his findings it was pretty clear that DA could go over 50%. I simply don't care enough to go dig them up because someone who still thinks Recast and Crit Damage cap at 50% wants to conjecture about shit he obviously doesn't understand. If you want to make bullshit claims about DA caps, you do the work to back them up - not me.

If you're over-capping Haste with brown, adjust your other TP gear. Twilight is shit. Melee Gloves +2 and Ganesha's Mask are both far superior options to ditching the leg slot. Calmecac are shit. Don't make excuses for shit-tier gear.

Edit: Before I'm called rude one more time, how fair do you think it is to any casual observer reading this thread when you make up some stupid bullshit about DA capping at 50%? How many people do you think might skim this and get the wrong impression, leaving and re-reporting your out-of-nowhere assertion as if it were solid fact?

You yourself quote the "Ranger forums" as a place that told you that Crit Damage caps at 50%. It bloody doesn't. Don't pull shit out of your ass and expect to not get called on it post-haste. It's stupid shit like your "Supposition" that allowed bullshit rumors like "CHR enhances provoke" and "Moon phase affects HQ rate" to survive for so long.

You cannot substitute supposition for fact. When you post blatantly wrong information, you will get called out. Yes, it's your bloody job to prove it.
