Rangers and Worms

[Aaramis]

If you want to sub a mage to RNG, why not RDM?

Heals, Buffs, Resist buffs (Bar- ), Debuffs (Dia (lowers defense + dot), Slow, Paralyze, Silence, Blind, and eventually Gravity (snare + lowers evasion. Perfect kiting spell for a Ranger).

Barstone would work better than Silence, against worms, I would think (Silence usually takes a couple of tries to stick, too).

You're right. The difference between whm and rdm-wise between stats is very minimal, and you would most use the sub for the added debuff benefits. Seeing as Red Mages are the Kings of enfeebling, that may be the better way to go.

Of course in the long run, neither are worthwhile choices
