Something I found amusing.

Want some more fun? Impact is just 30 more potency than Jolt II (270 instead of 240). I believe you would have a very close overall dps by just using Jolt II then. So you could speak about 3 buttons.
But... I believe a RDM would be useless with only those 3 buttons.

His system is about getting his red magic the faster he can, which is why the other skills have close potency to the basic skill which is Jolt II.
VerStone/Fire = 270 potency, 9 total magic points.
VerWind/Thunder = 300 potency, 11 total magic points.
Jolt II = 240 potency, 6 total magic points.
Impact = 270 potency, 8 total magic points.

I believe the different potencies to be here to show a pattern to understand to get the most black and white magic in a short time.
Too bad VerCure doesn't provide White magic and VerRaise Black magic (making dead revive is kinda black magic ;) )

OP must be very disappointed that RDM did not get nerf on 4.05 patch note

In a way, they did. The mana glitch was removed.

• An issue wherein the effects of the Red Mage ability Acceleration would apply to Verflare and Verholy.
• An issue wherein the amount of black mana and white mana consumed would be incorrect when performing some of the Red Mage actions under certain conditions.
• An issue wherein the Red Mage would start content with white mana remaining when queuing for content under certain conditions.

I am glad to see the mana glitch be resolved, should hopefully see RDM Dps drops down in the 90th percentile since you can't abuse this anymore?

I doubt it. Those were exploitable under very specific conditions. Unless the big deal youre all crying about is FFLogs, and the part of the community that tends to force bloated DPS numbers, by exploiting things like this. Fpr instance, ive never walked into an instance with white mana sitting there, etc.

It was..... really easy to exploit lmao, as soon as I heard about it myself from a RDM main friend, i tried it out personally, and was surprised about how consistently you could pull it off.

Did everyone use it? No.

Did the top % of people use it? High Likelihood

Will it affect overall statistics re: DMG done ? Yes.

I learned about it. Decided i didn't want to base my play style around an obvious cheat that would be patched. I was an avid user of the good bugged dissipation too. ;[

Maybe, with the fall of balance and the removal of some relative glitches, percentiles will normalize.

I Do Not Partake In Fflogs So I Heard About this exploit on the forums, Never learned or used it So when's the servers go live I expect the same Rdm is op tears to flow

That's not a nerf if it wasn't intended in the first place. But now people will finally stop complaining. So I'm happy they fixed that.

I guess that's With the glitch? It's got some age to it but if it's true I dont get what people are complaining about really..
