Returning RDM75/Nin37 - Solo at 99?

[Arcon]

Then you forgot that RDM breaks pretty much every rule.

RDM always want to feel special, which isn't a surprise given their current position, but it still doesn't make it true.

to the OP: If you are serious about leveling and gearing a RDM semi-solo then a PDT gear set is just as important as your Haste set. Your Haste set is significantly harder to obtain than your PDT set and because of that you will have to make due with the next best choice for a while, which is PDT. There were plenty of mobs I had to fight in full PDT with partial Haste sets.

Haste gear is a lot easier to obtain than PDT gear, unless you're talking about Earth/Terra's Staff (which you shouldn't be). You can buy many Haste pieces for next to nothing, unlike PDT.

A few other notes: Haste caps at 25%. Cure Potency is easy to build and very important. Nuking is only for the battles where you actually nuke, which can be useful, but generally aren't many. Fast Cast is not mutually exclusive with either curing or nuking gear, and RDM already gets high Fast Cast, getting cures off is rarely ever a problem. Stoneskin items are very few, and they're either very easy (AH) or very hard (SCNM, VNM) to get, so focusing on them in any way is pointless. You get those along the way at some point.
