Most Wanted Ffxi Job!

5/5 convert is standard? ***...i'm behind the times I guess...I always though wind/ice/earth magic accs were focused on...good thing my rdm isn't 75 lol

Yeah suddenly every RDM has a Ph.D. in engineering and every BLM is a school janitor. Good job figuring this out. You oversimplify matters, stating that every BLM has less capabilities hence it is automatically useless.

Good job, go nuke some Burst2 MB on Fafnir on RDM than talk again.

(obvioustroll)

Indeed, provided you're talking about yourself here.

BLM can gravity with /rdm (ES when needed)
BLM can convert with /rdm
BLM gets cure4, raise, erase, stona, silena, blindna, poisona on /whm
BLM can kite on /nin + manawall
BLM can stun, sleepga2, nuke t5 & am2

RDM can Gravity
RDM can convert
RDM can cure4 and raise, BUT NEEDS /WHM for: erase, stona, silena, blindna, poisona
RDM can kite
RDM can stun /drk
RDM can sleepga1 /blm

Your point being BLM cannot do anything but nuke?

where did Night say that blm is only good for nuking?

bolded text = awesome argument lol

You really, really need to work on your reading comprehension.

I never said that, Brayenn specifically asked about how they compared as nuking jobs. If you actually bothered to read my posts, you'd find discussion of utility spells such as *gasp* Sleepga II and Stun, but also such as Slow/Para II and RDM's ability to Saboteur debuffs...

lulz

god damnit /sch. just relized. Stona still stands tho XD

and both have to /WHM for it anyway. BLM loses more in the process than RDM does.

Never said RDM sucks, just you make it out to be the only job that can do anything in game.

A group of RDM + BLM would be far superior to RDMonry. Let the RDM's and BLM's do their respective job.

Getting all angry and spouting: "we must be all RDM, all non RDM are inferior" is pretty low.

/shakeshead.

1 RDM
2 THF
3 war or mnk


The problem is that BLM can't do what RDM can, while RDM can do what BLM can (kill stuff). Don't get me started on the "BLM is better DD than RDM" because it's also a crap DD anyway.

You're inferring things from my posts that aren't actually there. That's generally a bad idea.

Helpful hint:
First page, in reference to BLM. It's not like I insist on only having x jobs in a given situation, so please, please, learn to read.

Also

It's not bad does not mean it is any good.
How many RDM's in a 6man manaburn pt would you take? 1? 2? 6? (onyl (RDM+BLM)

0rdm 6blm OMFG wtf r U DOIN!?
1rdm 5blm ok
2rdm 4blm ok
3rdm 3blm hmm
4rdm 2blm orly? maybe a brd instead or rdm?
5rdm 1blm WTF is that doing
6rdm 0blm only excuse: only RDM leveled.


just saying.

This isn't really relevant to Abyssea (party mechanics don't favor a full mage party, 100% guarantee you could come up with better setups for NMs) and it's only weakly related to prior discussion as you're gradually trying to drag this discussion away from where it originally started. If you won't stop wasting my time, I'm just gonna stop posting.

Felt compelled to troll around in here, since whenever there is a job vs job argument, a RDMftw statement will show up sooner or later.
Also if you look on my previous post:
I think I state RDM #1 usefull, but not RDM >> all in every aspect.

It's 6 AM here, I'm honestly just too tired to play along any longer =\ I agree with that statement.

5:00am~ post while watching late night movies~
ridiculous job combinations that may actually be kinda cool to try at lvl 85+

drk/rng
blu/sch
war/drg
dnc/drk
blu/pld
blm/sch
drk/sch
war/blu
rng/drk
mnk/rdm

Suddenly, Brady guide.

o-o

Blu can gravity. Twice.
Blu can convert with /rdm
Blu gets better cures than rdm.
Blu gets erase(Though self only).
Blu can kite.
Blu has ...6? stuns.
Blu can nuke.
Blu can bind.. 3 times.
Blu can Flash.
Blu can blind/para/slow.
Blu can sleep.. 4 times.
Blu can haste it's self for 5 minutes.
Blu can refresh it's self for 5 minutes
Blu has AOE stoneskin.

Blu has fast cast.
Blu has poisonII
Blu has ect ect

Do I win?

Edit: Also behind the safety of /nin if you like.

if blu can erase others. then i'd say yes ^^
oh and don't forget blu can melee dps too

DIFFUSION GO~ I WIN!

im a little rusted with blu, is still the best sub /nin or dnc? i used to use /sch a lot when i used to be a taru

Way too situational. Like most the time I go in abyssea I find myself seriously lacking on healers and find myself tanking most the time so something like /nin is a bit necessary. Well unless I want to spend alot of my time in pdt gear or soemthing lol

RDM + BLU = *** amazing duo.
It really depends on the RDM and BLU though, but if they are skilled and properly geared, Purple Mage can do just about anything.

5/5 Convert is standard and as someone with RDM and BLM both 85 I can tell you I find very little use for my BLM. If you need earth m.acc to land Slow on something that isn't resistant to begin with, you're not gearing your Slow2 correctly probably. RDM/SCH can be an incredible debuff/buff/healer one moment and a very efficient magic DD the next. Even with a lackluster nuke set like mine I've only found one thing so far in Abyssea that I didn't consistently nuke unresisted on. BLM has very little practical use for lowman groups, at least in my opinion. Wind merits are completely useless, almost anything that matters is immune to Gravity or Silence (Except Orobon that drops Masamune items, that I know of. Everything sticks on him but it doesn't matter either way since he has natural gravity), if it isn't, you don't need wind merits to stick it.

Edit: Everything but Poison** before someone remarks. That should be obvious though.

1. DRK

I'm 0/5 convert ;).

Either way if we already have a competent rdm chances are I'd be more useful on blm. Unresisted or not my blm does ALOT more dmg than my rdm and that's with my rdm doing similar tier for tier to alot of other blms

try rdm + bst it's so easy to duo things, i tried it on olla and hakutaku, very smooth and effortless
