Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,001 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,001 Donate  | DRG/RDM v.s RDM/NIN Brenner Ok before anyone yells at me, i've looked through these forums and stickies and in allakhazam, and with my poor searching skills, i was unable to find what it was i'm looking for.
I've recently lvled RDM to 30 (my DRG is 60) and my friend wants to do a PVP with his RDM and i'm assuming he'll sub NIN. My question is as a 60 DRG/RDM going against most likely RDM/NIN what gear should i have especially MP wise, (i'm elvan, with RDM sub and RSE gloves and boots i have 125 mp)
what kind of items should i bring to the fight. I understand that when he has shadows to cast diaga, but what about silence or bind or anything else.
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys can give me, and again i'm sorry if this has been posted somewhere before. |  | ::Quote Selected::  | | | 01-29-2007, 12:59 PM | #2 (permalink) | | LOLDRG Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 840 Style: Light - Version 5 My Mood:  Thanks: 85

If that is the case then you will in trouble. Enpsells, phalanxe, stoneskin, Ichi etc will be a huge advantage for him. If you just start fighting, then you will have a nice advantage.
Use jumps to interrupt spells. Diaga shadows. Try and keep wyvern out. Pray he doesn't sleep your wyvern. Maybe you will get lucky and get a chance to use healing breaths.
I have killed rdm/nin and rdm/blm in ballista before. I wouldn't try casting any spell on them due to your 1/2 magic skills. Its going to be a tough fight.
You could load up on resistance gear like this but I don't know how much good that will do you. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 01-29-2007, 01:49 PM | #3 (permalink) | | Pointy Stick Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Portland, OR Posts: 1,917 Style: Dark - Version 5 My Mood:  Thanks: 427

Thanked 236x in 137 Posts Gil: 17,732 Bank: 45,688 Total Gil: 63,421 Donate | Re: DRG/RDM v.s RDM/NIN Brenner I'll be honest...
Only truly good RDMs who know the ins and out of their job can hold a candle in PvP.
If you just do your job, you'll probably cake-rape him. If you lose, then it's a learning experience. Just because RDMs have the potential to be unbeatable, doesn't mean that all RDMs who do PvP are geniuses.
Not to be mean, but unless your friend has been to multiple PvP matches, it's unlikely he'll be very experienced as a RDM/NIN.
Personally, I'd sub WAR or BLM in a lvl 60, because NIN is extremely pointless as a sub before Ni.... | Originally Posted by Aksannyi | | I swear some melee would forget their fucking weapon if they didn't have it equipped every time they logged in. | | | | ::Quote Selected:: | |
