So that atleast helps with tanking. | Big problem, though. RDM can only fully merit 2 of the new spells, and I don't see many fully meritting Phalanx2 (especially if it's only superficiously better than phalanx1 solo).
Especially with everybody melee burning, using 1/2 of your new stuff on something that isn't going to be used much (thanks to /nin) doesn't make much sense.
Some rdms might go with one full merit spell, and then phalanx2 at lvl 1 and maybe another at lvl 2, and still others might just have all 6 at lvl 1, but the point is that this isn't going to be a regular thing plds can depend on if they invite a rdm. |  | ::Quote Selected::  | | | 07-24-2006, 08:07 PM | #32 (permalink) | | Senior Member Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Des Moines, Iowa Posts: 1,186 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 9

I can't wait to try them out, so gutted that I gave away all my gear and gil when I quit 7 months ago now. I can't even attempt to merit.  Valheru:

X-box users haven't had the 2/3 + years in game, with capped merits and begging for more goodies. I'm personally happy (my main jobs are whm and rdm, so I made out like a bandit), though my ls are now telling me to go solo Genbu and they will stand and watch...

Of course, there are those jobs that need a bit of a boost, but that's more because the community has been narrowing it's focus a lot lately, and a lot of jobs get left out in the cold. So, I dunno. All of the new abilities look cool to me. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 07-25-2006, 12:56 AM | #39 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 98 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

What new automation set did pup get?
