RDM May Need Separate Gear Line from Other Casters - Spell Speed

[Ronyx]

What are you talking about? Spell Speed is not a dead stat. It helps BLMs A LOT to speed up their slow spells. Besides that Spell Speed also adds to DoT dmg for Miasma, Bio 2, Shadow Flare, Thunder Spells etc so BLM and SMN benefit a lot.

Please read. The OP is saying it's a dead stat for RDM. Nowhere did he talk about BLM and SMN.

RDM has no dots and also has a less than 2 sec cast time on jolt/verfire/verstone/scatter/impact/vercure, combined with innate swiftcast making spell speed not a major concern for RDM compared to BLM or SMN.
