Question regarding RDM stats and weapon choice.

[Maero]

It may reduce gcd but spell speed is still not a very good stat for Red Mage, you benefit far more with DH or Crit. Only reason i have some SS melded on my gear is i play both Red Mage and blm. (God i wish we had seperate gear)
Good ol SE did the same thing with weapons again like they did a SB launch give Rm stats moreso for blm (ss) and the blm stats ... ugh
Myself i went with the crafted weapon on Red (despite both Primal and tome weapon having slightly higher WD) it is not a waste of money, the tome weapon would be a waste tomes as you can probably clear sigmascape and then have the best weapon
