Reintroduce Maat in 2.0

RDM weren't just healers, they were debuffers for most of Zilart - WotG for endgame, landing a paralyze could and would save lives. It's only after WotG that they became awful healers/debuffers because the content shifted towards WHM and status effects became irrelevant because currently FFXI revolves around warriors spamming TP moves on a boss till the right one is found.

BLM always spam sleep and nukes, it is a way of life, end game or not.

Actually most of the players were trying to use rdm as main healers before WotG came out. I was a lvl 70 before it came out and was being used as main healer from about lvl i'd say 45-50ish on up also around lvl 60 range too. Due to fact that we had convert and refresh. Also due to people doing that there was a major decline in people playing whm except for when they where wanting to teleport people for money. They also did the same to Sch when it was brought out due to it's ability to switch which magic they mainly used.

from what i have heard and known the only time rdm wasn't used as a main healer was during certain end game runs. But for leveling they were used as main healers and that was the Rdm complaint.

I was never a main healer in any kind of endgame, my job was to fresh + haste, and land debuffs on the mobs. I would heal and break my rotation only when a WHM was dead or OOM.

EXP Parties aren't endgame, and if you had a NIN tank you never needed to heal them anyways, just back to haste + refresh.

I was talking about how rdm was used for healing in exp parties and excuse my wordage for the end game from what I heard a lot of time they would want rdm to be for the refresh or go sub drk for the chainspell and stun maneuver

Also they ended up phasing out nin tanks around lvl 30ish for a lot of areas and wanted a paladin for their ability to cure themselves and keep hate better than the nin could. Just occassionally pop the refresh on them as well as regen if you had whm subbed but for the others if they ended up getting hit you still had to heal them. As well as keep refresh on everyone debuff the mob that's being fought and keep haste on everyone.

I never found PLD useful in EXP pts, even when it was my most played endgame job, especially when the exp pts revolved around TP burning, I found Ninja's damage paired with their shadows made them great tanks on mobs that lasted 30s-1m

You shouldn't have used either on Colibri parties.
