I've seen alot of badly geared RDM/NINs, some thinking they are cool because they have the o-hat, scorpion harness, but still deck themselves out in INT earrings and rings, if your going to play RDM/NIN atleast gear it right. Its not about just having 2 swords and utsusemi like 98% of the RDM/NINs i've met.

However a RDM/NIN in my Dynamis-Linkshell has been the best geared RDM/NIN I've seen yet.

I might have been able to level NIN if we had ever done some BCNM's.

I tried to do some BCNMs. Oh how I tried. :/

Ya, well it's kind of hard to set up with you being on Bahamut.

Actually, since I still have those seals, I could be NIN if I could ever do some BCNM's. That is if my luck improves.

I tried when I was on Kujata! Ask Lilith. He shared my pain and frustration.

It would be so nice having tier II enspells so we could focus on acc/dex/m.att instead of str/att for dmg.

Also, need Enspell dmg added to ws, specially multi-hit.

._. Nice gears, but why take a RDM/NIN to Dynamis? Are DDs in such critically short supply in your LS?

BBQPlatinum is one of the better Linkshells of the Odin Server ( BBQ Platinum - A FFXI Linkshell on Odin server )

It's not that we lack DDs lol, its just I beleive Starfox(Manthra) just got his Morrigan's robe, i think most of that DD gear is from his 75SAM, but its still nice that you know he actually put an effort into DD Red Mage.

Most Red Mages i see meriting who insist on DDing always think its just two swords, an ohat/walmart turban and scorpion harness. Then you check their other gear and it just doesn't balance with the RDM DD setup (i.e electrum rings). Really, theres nothing WRONG with RDM DD, but if you really really insist on doing it then have the gear for it lol.

Yeah of course Starfox isn't going to parse up with the other DD's (There were Askar/Ares DRGs and Askar SAMs Adaberk WARs, etc) but you can't deny he put forth the effort (gear wise) to make it work.

Although the only gripe i have with RDM who want to melee is, ATLEAST still try to do your jobs as enfeeblers (slow II etc) Not that Starfox didn't, its just that i notice this about alot of front line RDMs, is they think they can just en-spell and whack at the mob without keeping up with the refresh/haste/enfeebling cycle.

Bu-bu-bu-but casting enfeebles takes time away from swinging your sword! :p (yes, I'm being sarcastic).

It continually amazes me how these people refuse to recognize that even with the best gear in the game, RDM is an extremely mediocre damage dealer. It has less to do with the weaponry/gears as it does available time. Casting spells eats up a large amount of time that you could normally spend attacking with a weapon, and with the RDM job the way it is (Refresh/Haste cycles, Dispel, Enfeebling, plus maybe cures) your probably putting in about half as much melee time compared to a dedicated DD, even disregarding issues about lower accuracy, lower skill, lower Strength, lower Attack scores, and weaker weaponskills.

I'd rather have an extra RDM/BLM than an extra RDM/NIN in Dynamis, that's all, because one is a crowd controller, while the other one is a ... well... RDM/NIN.
