RDM & Haste 2

[Demon6324236]

Paralyze doesn't work on TP moves unless it doesn't show the TP move being readied at all even. And the only mobs immune to status ailments are the old pre-SoA mobs, anything in SoA has no immunity, none of them, they only have high resist at most.

So far as the En-Enfeeble idea goes, I disagree, the only thing I can see as a decent enfeeble for En-Spells would be silence, because it has no potency. The thing is, for this to be good we would have to have a 100% land rate too.

But all in all, I think we need En-IIIs, a fusion of I & II, En-spells would be more valuable that way, also, magic damage gear should effect them too, but in the same sense that 'Sword Enhancement Spell' effects work, then they could be more powerful as well.

It doesn't show the TP being readied at all if it's paralyzed; same as Counter. At least, that's what bgwiki and ffxiclopedia have always said about the subject. I don't know exactly what testing was done to prove this, or how you would, but there it is. I dunno though, as many debuffs are in the .dats that we haven't had access to, it would be kinda cool to get up to Dia/Bio VI and Toad, Death, etc. But I'm sure the -ga versions of those would come out too because every "primary" mage job would whine about it and we'd be back at square one. Here's hoping today's announcement means worthwhile AF1-3 bonuses in the november update.

How about a mix of the 2 ideas? En-III spells could be a mix of I and II and also add a debuff of their element, i.e. a chance at adding Addle for Enfire III? that sounds like it could be pretty cool. I do like the idea of having it cast the ACTUAL spell though. How many Final Fantasy games had Fire Rods that actually used the spell, for example?

But I guess that's what Enchanting is for. :\

I'd say Blu heals slightly better than Rdm on paper for pure curing, Blu/Sch spamming Fruit with a proper Cure setup is actually very fast and efficient cures. Support wise, Rdm comes out ahead with a more reliable haste rather than the 70% of the time AoE haste (or whatever else you use Diffusion for), so it's not really the same argument, but just throwing that out there to say, nobody will ever invite a Blu to cure these days, but then again, they won't invite a Rdm either, just sayin.

And to fixing Rdm, I still say let Temper be cast on other people, give them Haste2, and semi-related, expand accession to cover more abilities, haste and haste 2, reraise, temper, and I guess Phalanx2 but accession Phalanx1 is stronger if you have enough enhancing magic anyway.

Shan. I love talking about RDM, especially with other RDM Mains and people who know what they're talking about, but... I can't read your posts, you need to form them better, break it up, rather than a wall, I mean, I tried reading, but you post so much, and I just can't do it, sorry.

Ok I think (think) you are suggesting:
Haste II
Dualega which is supposed to give 15% attack boost to party members
Endow which is supposed to...let us cast...either 2 songs at once or cast a gain spell and an en-spell...I think...
For dualega and haste II I don't see why they would say no (some might argue the haste cap is the reason it isn't in the game) but endow um either scenario might be denied because casting 2 at once is, as far as I know it, haven't been done with any other job.
