The RDM Thread

[Seraa]

I can't just use Paralyze 1 unfortunately, as some of the other RDMs in my shell cast in around +30 MND and most if not all have Paralyze 2 merited.

That was the only reason I kept 1/5 for a while before dropping it completely. Now I just take the elitist approach and tell people that if they want to overwrite my amazing Para with their shitty one just so they can say they spent 6x the MP and nothing can overwrite them, to go ahead.. it's just the tanks that suffer as a result.

i'm guessing the answer to this is the obvious "NO" but i may as well try. has anyone found a cap value for dmnd for para?

I did RDM/BST 60-75, a lot easier than BST main except for having to wait for my pets to die. With the changes though you don't have to let your pet die anymore so it would be even easier.

Wouldn't I have to get my BST to 75 for this to be viable? Due to the charm rate being *supposedly* affected by the level of your BST?

Am I the only RDM who keeps 4 BioIII merits? Having equal Bio and Poison timers makes things so much simpler when soloing...

Doesn't make a difference to me, personally. They're usually out of sync anyway, what with being able to cast Poison whenever I want.

Yeah, I went 5/5 for the MP efficiency. Pending buffs or debuffs my timers are usually off slightly anyways. Also, my Utsu macro drops me to something like 608 MP. Go go Elvaan.
