Re: Poetics Gear - Ahh, I see! That makes sense, thank you Liam and TBD.

Re: RDM v BLM - As a newer player, I definitely find BLM a more complicated class to play than RDM. Not only is battlefield awareness more important because of the long cast times, but there are just *so* *many* *more* powers to manage, and you have to be in this mode to do that, and do this before this thing ends.. sheesh! I also find Summoner a bit too complicated for my tastes for the same reason. I'll get used to it eventually I am sure, but it feels like a steeper learning curve. My favored role is Healer, so when I go as DPS I guess I need something more simple at the moment.. I prefer Dancer. Just my two cents, of course.

PS - Swapping between RDM and BLM between Duties is such a mind-bender.
