To be fair, if hes gonna show up with absolute crap gear, theres really no point. If he can't at least put together decent TP and WS sets than it just provides an excuse.

Dia3 is amazing x_x. Passive -15% mob defense is incredible and a huge damage increase for everyone. It's one of RDM's best group2 merits.

**Gokku** · 2011-07-20 17:44

you all do realize my rdm is level 6... right? i really dont pay attention to what people merit unless its shellra V or they ask me to.

**Aurara** · 2011-07-20 17:45

As a melee you should know what dia3 does for you.

**Shiyo** · 2011-07-20 17:48

You said "iirc" and your rdm is level6, so I was just correcting you.

Regular show would lose a lot of its charm if it was like that tbh.

Ehhh, I thought it was pretty hilarious. I love it how it is, but if they made an episode somewhat like my avatar, it would be incredible.

GDI, you can't edit your own thread's name. CASTE SPELLS FOREVER.

I BANISH THEE TO GIMP TIER!

I posted this over there because it's true... also, it'll probably get deleted/locked...

---------------------------------------------
This forum reminds me of Sim City 3.

Yep. It hit me like a ton of bricks. If anyone still has Sim City 3, go start a new game.

Name your city "FFXI Forums".

Name your mayor "Square-Enix".

Now start building your city. Add the necessary components. Roads. Police. A power grid. Have some fun. Build up a decent sized populous.

Now watch the ticker at the bottom. It'll start getting flooded with demands and complaints. And you can click on them to read what the citizen/group is demanding. Usually they're incentives that benefit a small group of the population. It kind of reminds me of this forum. Compare the two examples.

Sim City News Ticker: "Tax rate choking industry, enact industrial tax breaks NOW!"

Complaining Citizen: "Mayor Square-Enix, the industrial tax rate is insulting. We demand you issue relief or else we'll move our Llama Glue plants and Spline Reticulating facilites elsewhere!"

If you accept: "Bravo, Mayor Square-Enix, bravo! This is a great day for all of us. Now where can we dump this toxic waste! What? Oh... just kidding!"

If you decline: "Oof! This may be the last straw that broke the llama's back Mayor Square-Enix! Don't be shocked when your pathetic village is plagued with abandoned factories!"

Official Forum Thread: "Give RDM Cure V and VI NOW!!"

Complaining Poster: "Alright SE, it's time to give RDM Cure V and Cure VI... it's insulting that we can't cure like a WHM OR nuke like a BLM. And don't tell me it's for job balance because WHM and BLM get -ga spells."

If SE announces it's in the works: "Woot, it's about time... we should get T5 nukes and comet too and BLM can just keep -ja spells and Meteor."

If SE says it ain't gonna happen: "Oof! You will rue this day SE! Perhaps us Red Mages will find another game where we are appreciated! This game is dying anyway..."

I can't be the only one who sees it.

I don't usually like posting things here from the other forum, But this one just made me facepalm :\

Accomplice->Trick attack. It's not hard to dump enmity.

From this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...thoughts/page6

Apparently some people still believe Trick attack transfers the THFs enmity to the Trick-attack'd Person. I'm just upset this misconception is still there >.<

(for the record i know i probably sound like a turd in that thread, I think it to myself too)

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-07-22 08:55

Small peanuts. Dancers still merit Step Acc instead of Haste Samba.

**Lyall** · 2011-07-22 12:35

I love the back-and-forth, Aurara.

"You should have a RDM on KI mobs!"

"Our KI mobs die during terror because we run with 2 Ukons, a Vere and a Kannagi. The RDM would never get TP."

"But imagine if you ran with an ALMACE, too!"

Christ almighty. RDM makes everything better!

**SargentRemora** · 2011-07-23 08:56

Hey guyz, I know what would fix Summoner and make it melee better!

Kingfury strikes back.

**Karbuncle** · 2011-07-23 08:58

God you guys took forever to find that one, I've been posting in it for a while

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-07-23 09:01

I've been avoiding clicking on anything that looks melee RDM or SMN related. Asymptotic made a good Dancer post here. It's one of the first in that subforum that isn't just asking SE to compensate for player stupidity.

I wanted to read over that, I think i will.

On SMN melee, I don't think its good. Its fun to toy with when solo/duo or your melee will not hinder your party (because frankly it sucks).

I liked his idea, But it doesn't fit FFXI, and thats the core problem. So its unrealistic at best.

Edit: No but i really like the Idea. Sometimes i wish FFXI SMN was like that. Or they'd give us Necromancer as you said (i've never played any MMOs with necro, only game ive played with Necro was Diablo II lol)

**SargentRemora** · 2011-07-23 09:55

I try to avoid posting on the official forums at all if possible, I only really give out advise on how to play/gear SMN for those who ask. In terms of the whole "hey, wouldn't this be cool, please add this crap" that goes on the official forums alot, I tend to avoid it like the plague, unless it's something completely unrealisitic like this. As much as I did sound like an asshole on my first post, I stand by my statement where SE will not go anywhere near this. It's unrealistic in more or less every aspect.

**kamugi** · 2011-07-23 14:07

Awesome idea for FFXI:
Stick the weakest job of all of them next to the mob inside AOE range and tell them they're suppose to melee!

Am I the only one that see's the inherent problem with this? It's not like any SMN would get bored if they played correctly anyway, I dunno what the uproar suddenly is with the melee crowd. They should just go play war or sam or something and shut up.

**Cail** · 2011-07-23 15:04

Before you know it, the next thing will be melees complaining they cant cure at the same time or some shit
