Reintroduce Maat in 2.0

[Rannie]

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.
