RDM Auto, why the cap?

you cant get anywhere close to a BLM with nukes

You absolutely can. And me and a friend took advantage of this to easily duo the antlion NM in Abyssea - Attohwa, as an example. Good luck doing that with valoredge or sharpshot.

almost nothing takes more magical than physical damage

Absolute nonsense. Lots of things do, and there are many NMs out there that absorb physical damage at certain times.


Ever fought culebre? One of the EASIEST ways to beat it is to have the BLM automaton tank it. Yes, that's right, tank it. He will kick its ass and take minimal damage doing it.
