That was the issue most of us had. We got delegated to refresh/heal/haste in groups and had no room to skill up other magic, particularly elemental. You had to be dedicated to skilling it up if you couldn't get parties that would let you nuke.

The challenge depended on the job really (RDM is generally accepted as the hardest, and is the most hated/complained about), and how much you skilled up before attempting the fight. Laila (DNC 75 LB) was a pushover for me, but I never beat RDM Maat because of magic skill levels.
