RDM's Patch Notes?

[Saito_S]

I've been too busy to look at this thread again until today, and while I've read all the new posts I'm not going to comb through them and address every point of dispute that's been raised, but basically:

I never once said you personally have an issue with playing the job, I've just said that you're ridiculous for just hand waving what countless people have said over your personal feely anecdote. A thing you do all the time. I'm an open minded guy, if 20+ approached me and countered my argument with the same thing, I wouldn't be so quick to brush it aside.

...this.

Just that you don't forget to keep using it, which I'm sure many people do if so many were having MP problems.
...
The people trying to insinuate that I'm advocating sitting there and doing nothing in order to not run out of MP surely aren't making a very good case for themselves.

It must be tough having to reach that badly in order to justify in your minds that someone might not be having the same problems at playing a job that you do.

You're the one who's insinuating - no, not even insinuating, outright stating - that everyone who felt RDM had MP issues were just forgetting to use Lucid.

The problem that you don't seem to be getting is that you aren't just saying that whatever MP problems the class had just didn't bother you. As in, without denying that there could BE a problem, simply saying it wasn't one you felt impacted by. No one would have an issue with a stance like that.

Instead, you've very much been saying: "MP problems? No, it didn't have any MP problems, because I, personally, never had an issue with bottoming out as long as I used Lucid and didn't have to raise a million times. RDM's MP was objectively fine, and if you don't agree, you must not have been using Lucid properly."

While at the same time, when people "insinuate" that if you're maximizing uptime then you'd notice the MP issues, you take that as "therefore you, Fynlar, aren't maximizing uptime if you don't see these issues." You've taken great umbrage at this. Yet you see no irony in doing the same thing and making some pretty big assumptions about anyone who disagrees with YOUR assessment of the class. "Well based on my personal experience and mine alone, I didn't have MP issues, therefore the class doesn't have MP issues, you all must just be constantly playing with bads that need too much rezzing and/or not using Lucid properly."

In short: your self-awareness stat is laughably low.

EDIT: adding this in light of your post that went through right before mine did - you keep using "people saying something can't be done, but it's something I did" as a go-to phrase for this situation and it doesn't work at all. No one is saying anything is "impossible" or "can't be done".

"I'm a Red Mage and I didn't run out of MP!" Yeah great job, neither did I. I don't think I've completely bottomed out, as in ACTUALLY at 0 MP, unless I've died and been rezzed. As I said before, and plenty of others have said, simply NOTICING the MP issues didn't require actually bottoming out to a completely empty MP bar. If said issues didn't bother you, then hey sure fine. All your protestations against people making assumptions about your play and declaring that their experience must have been the only correct one come off as really obnoxious, as that is precisely what you've been doing.
