MND is so overrated even for RDM's. Landing white magic enfeebles has much more to do with skill level than stats. I land enfeebles quite easily even with minimal +MND (see above gears) in merit parties due to Enfeebling Merits and gears. Only really have problems if I try that on HNMs, but for those I use a completely different set of macros and gears than I use for meriting.

MND still values quite highly for Slow and Paralyze, which I consider two rather important spells.

Oh, and Cures. If you care about that sort of thing...

In merit situations, Slow and Paralyze almost never get cast unless you're bored.

In HNM situations, there's so much MND gear available if you really want to stack it that a fistful of MND isn't going to make or break you. I will say that Elvaan RDMs have an advantage in this situation because they're less constrained by "needing" more MND gear, but you can only go so far before you're trading off more than it's worth gear-wise, since the cumulative effects of MND on even Paralyze and Slow are very small incremental differences.

'MND only really honestly affected me before 51.

But it just sucked that it was so low. But I had enough MP to cast paralyze more than one time. And Taru INT is unrivaled

It's turned way, way down since I spend so much time doing things like Dynamis.

I'd lodge a complain against the nomenclature abuse, but I'm too busy turning green in envy.

Congrats!
