RDM Optimum Cure Set?

I am horrible at building cure sets, so I was curious, what is the absolute best RDM cure set?

Option 1:
1. Go to mog house
2. Change to white Mage
3.
ItemSet 306371

4. Profit

Option 2:
1. Go to abyssea
2. Put on arka 4 staff
3. Put on allure,mm, w/e else
4. Profit

Also, don't carry a -DT set for your DD jobs, just switch to PLD or go into abby and equip atmas to do it for you.

Depends on what you define as 'best'. Absolute highest HP cured? Does recast time matter? Does enmity matter?

ItemSet 253873

Gives 50% cure potency (not even counting Genbu augments), -47 enmity (could do -50 with Praeco Slacks or Prolix Ring, but give up haste and/or skill), 22 healing magic skill (apparently the 15 on the club is a bug?), 53 mnd (ffxiah doesn't seem to add things up correctly) and 13% haste.

If you're willing to forgo -enmity, you can add a fair bit more skill/mnd, however it would be a relatively minor increase in total amount cured (maybe 15 points on a Cure IV with potency added, at a guess; less than that on lower cures).

Make sure you pick up Cure V, oh wait.....

I agree with motenten things are situational that's a good hybrid where you can fill in the gaps.
Edit: also of you are using a precast and a idle set and what gear you have access to would help. If you wanna list that info I can give you more accuracy.

Btw my point is rdm won't be curing anywhere it's gonna need "optimum" stuff. Dds will be fighting in places that will one shot it nearly.

What I define as best is part of my problem with cure sets in all honesty, never really got enough into it to figure out what exactly is most important for it. Though I suppose what I am mostly worried about is Cures & Enmity.



Mainly worried about purely backline cures like when going RDM for Delve bosses & such. For any time I plan to smack things with a sword I plan to use...

ItemSet 307815

Which gets me a fair amount of cast speed as well as capping potency and +20% received without changing out either weapon, allowing for /NIN soloing with some good cures without sacrificing anything.



Also its not so much a need, more or less just want to know, trying to get all of the best gear I can for RDM, knowing what's best and getting it are simply goals, needed or not. Also if I know what's best it gives me something to look at so I can more easily understand cure sets, and it will help me build my own later, rather than having to ask when a new piece of gear presents itself which looks great. :x

This is the set I had as my goal recently, it doesn't have as much fascast or cure recieved as your set and I banked on using a shield more often than not. Zenith pumps +1 can get either 3 or 4% potency, cure cast time -7% and healing skill +5. It allows for less than perfect augments on the shield and feet as well.

Ok, basically what I'm looking for is low enmity & cast time with high power cures. I don't use Spellcast so I lack pre-casting for cures, but for the most part I am just wanting to not take hate while keeping people up, after those I suppose would come recast. Not concerned with recast as much as the others since I have never had much problem with simply cycling 3 & 4s as I'm almost always a backup healer, never a primary healer in anything difficult enough to need fast Cure 4 spam.

ItemSet 300398

this is a set i have for brd, everything else is the same for rdm except the legs, praeco slacks or adhara seraweels work. Since you are rdm and not brd/whm it might be excessive on fast cast/cure cast time and you can sub in more haste/-enmity/healing skill in place of the legs, sword, ear or neck.

Something similar to what I use might be right up your alley. I do not use spellcast either, just script macros as it works better for me. I recently reworked my Cure set for RDM to correspond with Tamaxchi.

ItemSet 309719

Genbu's Shield= +3% Cure Potency, -8% Cure Cast

Set currently contains:

+50% Cure Potency
-80% Cure Cast(with RDM base traits)
-50 Enmity(assuming 5/5 -enmity merits)

My recasts currently sit at:

Cure 3: 3 seconds
Cure 4: 4 seconds

Assuming I keep myself hasted.

My cure power isn't really that lacking either, Cure 3 goes off for about 400~ and Cure 4 goes off for about 820~.

420

As a one set cure setup this is about as good as you get for overall usage it seems. Slightly less powerful than some, but with all the - enmity and capped potency you can't ask for a lot more, really. Cure isn't the staple RDM spell, it's helpful, but it's not why you're there, and a more optimized cure set doesn't help you as much as a healing job.

So~ without enmity merits this should be good for a 1-size-fits-all set on RDM cures?
