What I'm really waiting for is to see how today's rage bleeds into Septimus' next BG newspost.

Just wait until they introduce the next set of RDM JSE comes out with even more Mag. Acc. + and 'enhances enspells' effects.

[Virtuous Saint]

As I already posted, the magic evasion down effect which is received by the target when the player uses Death Blossom is not 100%, and when it does land on HNM it will generally last 20-30sec maximum, and thus it is going to give you approx 1-2 casts before wearing off, and I do not know where you got information stating that it is something that basically ensures land rate without ES, but that is completely false. The simple reality is COR will be 99.9% more effective in helping to ensure unresisted casts in place of that RDM attempting to remove HNM resistance.

For the record about the Enspell elemental resistance, the example given by SE on the update details reads: "Enfire II: Adds fire damage to your initial attacks and reduces the target's resistance against water." aka it works exactly like AM AMII and Ninjitsu. You do not even have the luxury of using the Enspell element for which you just weakened the target to; of course you could.. cast EnthunderII hit the target then cast EnstoneII, but my guess is they do not stack, and instead overwrite previous resist-down.

[Invictusx]

Question is, does it stack w/ said ninjutsu, to create the ultimate magic resistance down set ERVER!!!!!!!!

What I'm really waiting for is to see how today's rage bleeds into Septimus' next BG newspost.

New abilities announced, Misery and Composure. There's a joke to be had in there somewhere.

[Yugl]

Don't even waste your time arguing with Ahlah. Take a look back at his previous crusades and threadshitting.

This pretty much sums up the situation.

Side Note:

Why do you waste so many perfectly good electrons posting?

People who use these kinds of insults are annoying as hell. They're not funny. They don't make you look smart. They don't burn. Wtf?

[Fiofio]

-_-;

[Melios]

The biggest thing they need to fix is "Avatar is too far away from xxxmob. Oh now you get to wait 45 seconds before you can try again".

That's another thing they mentioned in the interview that they were going to fix (not have blood pact timers reset until the avatar actually uses it).

[Shin Volcano]

Screw the timer, I'd rather keep the MP, cause losing 164MP for a missed BP isn't fun.. or we'll start seeing a bunch of this!

XXX is to far away!
XXX is to far away!
XXX is to far away!

wtf i just lost 492 MP in 10 seconds!

But for RDM... I don't know what you all expected out of RDM, you want somthing to make you kill quicker of what can already be soloed by RDM vs any other job? from what i see they are popualr in all aspects of endgame just because of one spell..and the ability to swap there HP->MP i already knew because i even mentioned in in the 1st thread...they will just give them some kind of fire blade wind blade crap but in this case it's En-Spells II because i knew they couldnt possibly give them anything else on top of there already important ability and Spells..


I have RDM to and just like my BLM comment eariler i could careless about them not getting some awsome update like WHM, this is even why i leveld all mage jobs, so i can enjoy each one. i'm perfectly fine with RDM as it is now, i just consider this some new toy i can play with while campaing or beating on random crap farming, WHY NO HAPPINESS!?

[Correction]

Too delicious not to search for again. Fall in love with Tyche all over again: Is it possible to outdamage a Melee RDM/NIN naked(use weapon)? - Killing Ifrit

[Izzy]

OMG You were arguing with Wrish. He's like, notorious on Phoenix for coming up with the most bullshit ideas and trying to tell anyone if they didn't do it his way, they were being inefficient.

For example, in early DynamisBums history when we were first trying to kill Dynamis Lord, he told all Tarutaru that we should be wearing full Taru RSE because Dynamis Lord does too much damage in AoE and we all must survive.

After a 30 minute argument with the DynamisBums leader at the time, he experienced a sudden D2 and a slightly cracked pearl. Wrish is a fucking moron lol.

That's the other thing they mentioned in the interview; something about not losing MP or being able to get it back in case of failure....or something.

Speaking of range boosts.......I'd say the Assault command needs an increased range. You shouldn't have to get too close just to be able tell the avatar to engage.

Firstly, it is my experience that Magic Attack Bonus helps land Sleep spells.
Secondly, Sleep 2 is more accurate than Sleep 1. It is well known among the JP solo mage community that sleep 2 is more accurate than sleep 1.

Walahra hurts because it has no defense, and so it may not be the best for soloing. Against really easy mobs, haste beats any additional raw defense. But as soon as you approach "Easy Prey", I'd start using Zenith crown for its excellent defense. The VIT on AF2 is not that useful because you sacrifice defense for it. If you're phalanx-tanking Chigoes (WHM/RDM), then by all means use AF2 if you have it.

Haste spell is 12%. Despite my prodding, you have come forth with no alternative way to calculate haste.

Priceless. Would read again. Thanks for the link.

[Lordender]

lol i remember wrish on KI, he's so fail.

If you guys read that KI thread, watch out, Post #137 is an epileptic seizure image, in response to:

Monks get focus for +15 accuracy.

Look, SE, here is the gear your new Enspell II Wrish RDM will be tanking in:

Spoiler: show

My RDM buddy is determined to win this parse, this will be incredibly fun. Gonna do mire, weapons, and maybe thickets if we get time.

Thats not how you prove things though!
You dont go out and acually DO it, you sit on your ass and write pages and pages of bullshit until everyone gives up and agrees with you!

Suppanomimi is a straight +6% total damage by virtue of giving you 6% more swings over time.

Wrish's so mesmerizingly annoying. It's like he thinks up the normal 12-yr old counterstrike trashtalk and then stops and deliberately converts it to proper english in the most wordy way possible, just to try to confuse people...

[Nattack]

Question is, does it stack w/ said ninjutsu, to create the ultimate magic resistance down set ERVER!!!!!!!!

we're gonna cast Katon: San, Flare II, and Enfire II so we can cast Freeze II on Cerberus. just you watch

[Aksannyi]

There is so much stupid in that thread I can barely stand to read it.

[Melios]

The thing a lot of people are missing is that there is a problem with Red Mage: Enfeebles. Some sort of half hearted melee buff isn't helpful.

No one seemed to ever bring up this issue with enfeebles in the last year or so (that I recall), so this "gamebreaking" issue with enfeebling magic must not have been as important as whining asking about the secret to AV or whether they'll "fix" Kings camps.

[LinktheDeme]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but does no multi hit enspell mean no more blood weapon, souleater, and kraken club? Because thats what it sounds like
