RDM is definitely Eureka meta.

Until Eureka I'd hardly touched it. Now I've got all skills down to muscle memory Anyone found something that works better? It seems all I do is RDM in here lol.

As a healer i'm definitely envious of that dual cast raise. I can get one Swiftcast Rez done every 60 seconds. I've stopped bothering to rez anyone else after that unless I got no RDM's in my group or they're dead. Everytime I try to hard cast a rez on someone else a RDM steals my rez :P

RDM has the advantage of raising more often than any other job, hence why it's used the most, not only that it's good for self heals and DPS.

I find Melee at a major disadvantage in the zerg, due to the way it's so laggy and you can't see the marker on the ground a good amount of the time. Even worse is Pazuzu fight, because of his skill that does the wind 3x in a row it makes it really tough for melee to get hits on him without getting KO'd in the process. I've always found RDM to be good in a party situation where you can raise if you're healer dies or you need it to raise over a healer so they don't expend MP from the raise.

Everyone is going for the Good Samaritan title, when I run on WHM I only worry about the party as a whole, or if someone is right next to me.

Exactly. It's so frustrating and yeah I wait too now. It's not worth the disappointment or the risk of dying yourself as you stand in one spot trying to cast.

I tried to use Ninja once in Eureka.

I quickly switched back to casters.

In my case, I'm not going for the title. Arthritis in my hands has caused me to switch from maining Dragoon to Red Mage, but Dual Cast does make rezzing very handy. If possible I try to get healers up first, but typically I Verraise whomever is KO'd and visible.

That's why we got a barding as well.

RDM has been a meta in FF11, I am not surprised it will takes up the role again in Eureka

[AppleJinx]

Yes that's been obvious since day one. If you are going as a dps just do your party a favour and go as rdm

RDM Disadvantages:

-is a caster, so will magic aggro. Magic aggro has a huge range.
-can't stun, so as DPS you can't work with your party to prevent hard hits while maintaining dps.
-lunges aren't as useful as you think, especially rearward ones.
-only role action to restore MP. If you die a bit it gets rough.
-you don't actually need that many raises in a party.

I mean, it's great otherwise, but other jobs work well. the big issue is melee, which seems to suffer a lot in content overall.
