RDM & Haste 2

[Ophannus]

RDM Elemental Seal+Saboteur+AF3 Hands+AF3 Body+New Feet= Extremely potent Gravity II that gives -90 Evasion Down on the mob which is very, very good.


Gravity II = -40 Evasion
Saboteur+AF3 Hands= Enfeebling Potency x 2.10(on NMs, 2.20 on fodder)
AF3 Body= Enfeebling Potency x 0.10
New Feet= Enfeebling Potency x 0.05

So 40 * 2.25= 90

That's assuming it's additive and not multiplicative(92ish if multiplicative).

Either way, that's a pretty sweet bonus to hit rate for 4-5minutes.

RDM can be a decentish healer, Cure IV's for ~900ish with the right gear, with haste on and Composure off, you can get a 2-3 second recast on Cure IV and it's basically instant cast with our Fast Cast gear. I would never ask a RDM nor would I want my own RDM to be a main healer for any kind of serious end game content, maybe Odin v2/ADL/Neo Limbus/Salvage but not Delve. RDM/SCH has enough tools to keep lowman content parties alive. We may not have Cureskin but with /SCH we can still have Acession+Cure IVs which is still an AoE 900+ cure and Phalanxga. I wouldn't put the RDM in charge of main healing a DD party on any serious NM in Delve, but they can definitely cure across alliance during delve when they're not enfeebling(for example when fighting the Eft and everyone is in yellow/red, can Spontaneity+Accession+Cure IV one party then Accession+Cure IV another party, bringing both parties up to white HP in as little as 3 seconds. Doing this will earn you love amongst your WHMs since Curagas have long recast and eat ton of MP(try this, seriously, if you have trouble with eft or peiste this can save your run). I always ask for Aurorastorm when fighting eft so I can get an extra chunk of cure potency with korin obi and do 1k cure 4 AoEs, if you have a good chunk of -enmity in your cure set(I have -48 not counting tranquil heart) the mob wont pay you any mind.

Can /SCH to most Delves except Shark zone since you need ES for Impact probably. Also /SCH gives you Klimaform and Windstorm which helps immensly in landing Silence/Gravity and if you ask a SCH for voidstorm, your Dispel rate will go up significantly.


I'd rank healers:
WHM>>>SCH>>>>>>RDM>>>>>>>>>>>>>everything else.

RDM is sizeably behind a SCH but we can temporarily hold our own. For example during the shark fight, our WHM died because they were in range of Mayhem. I popped Chainspell and was able to cureIV bomb that party for a good 1:20, using Convert wisely until the WHM was Arisen and no deaths occured for that party.

RDM has limited potential in healing but we make excellent support/backup healers, it's a shame we can't Spontaneity across alliance, or it would help with Arises or Curaga IV's. When it comes to debuffing a mob, lowering it's EVA by a ton, ES+Impacting, Hasting SCHs, Refreshing GEOs, nuking Mata, Keeping PLD alive on pulls, supporting healers on AoE-spammy mobs, emergency healing RDM is invaluable in the current endgame paradigm.

Gravity II = -40 Evasion

AF3 Body= Enfeebling Potency x 0.10
New Feet= Enfeebling Potency x 0.05

These should surely be 1.10 and 1.05 if multiplying, otherwise, wearing just AF3 body would take grav potency from 40 to 4, instead of 44 lol
