Time for sleep not coffee.. silly boys left alone.. probablly eats peanut butter cups for breakfast too.

mmm peanut butter cups

and whats wrong with reese' pb cups? lol

nothing... I personally am an addict of them.. The ones that were in celebration of Elvis were AWESOME. Banana and peanut butter ones... just not a breakfast food. silly boys.

I wish you had said that earlier luna, I bought rodd some for early easter, I am almost positive he had some when he got up the other morning...

I agree with rodd, but i think they should have changed more to make the job melee. Raise strength, or spells that allow stat increases like bard.. something more to make them more usable on the front lines. Oh, or maybe an ability like scholar where rdm can choose higher magic and lower melee or vice-a-versa.

I do wish they had made RDM more the Melee mage they were intended to be from the first games. RDM wasn't meant to be the debuff bitch on the backlines and or back up bitch/healer. I was drawn to RDM as my very first job, but after coming to the horrible realization that you are treated like a cloth wearing, wand carrying magic user it lost alot of appeal for me. Sure a RDM can step up and take alot of places in a party, but one they never get to play is melee. "You are just giving the mob tp" Um.. what are you doing jerk... I think they should give RDM En-ga spells. Give the whole damn pt magic type damage to their weapons and definately boost the melee abilities. RDM rock the socks off just about any other job handling shit solo.

with everything a RDM can do, as a RDM if you decide you want to melee, start your own pt, no? if i woulda lvl'd rdm and wanted to melee, no one woulda said shit to me to try and stop me, maybe all this BS is one of the reasons Naughty and i DUO'd our asses to lvl 65, we wanted to learn the MOST out of the jobs, and hell, i'm sure we've done it, ok i may not be the best PLD in a party setup, but its very rare that Naughty can steal hate from me when we duo. i do agree that there should of been a lil more "boosting" of RDM's abilities, yeah the extra EN spells r gonna help there DMG for meleeing, but they should of given them more, considering how VAMP'd up WHM is now. GRANTED a RDM can solo the avatar fights, among other things better then anyother job, but that doesnt mean they should get shafted either.

I did Duo my rdm with Gunner. I duo ALOT of my jobs just with him.. mainly because I dont play well with other.. well the stupid ones atleast.. (you know the ones that dont think are)
I do agree that more people should play their jobs in smaller pts. (Duo or trio) to learn more about their jobs. Nothing like being put to the test with an Oh shit moment to learn more about your job. And as duo in Qufim..at night.. oh shit happens alot.

I think they are just trying to pull people back to certain jobs that havent really been played as much. GL.. lol Unless WHM comes with auto pilot.. TONS of people will still never touch the job. And still many more out there you wished would quit torturing us all together. "Why are we all dead? oops, didn't realize we were pulling."

Even in making your own pt's you will not be spared from the Elitest asses who think they know EVERYTHING there is to know about FFXI. People will talk crap about a melee RDM even if that very RDM is pt leader. (Watched it happen, but luckily didn't experience it.)

i just hope the new En spells are not hard or cost alot to get ^^

I don't think they will be al lthat hard to get, the stuff they added in the last update wasn't...recall spells, retrace etc. As far as the soloing thing goes, yeah, I can solo a lot of things now that I am 75 and took the time to level NIN to 75 and get NI, but honestly I still don't know that all the bullshit I had to put up with to get there really makes it worth it. I got so sick of partying and being everything that rdm isn't supposed to be, that I kinda grew to hate the job for awhile. Maybe it's just my aversion to elitist assholes, but part of it still stemmed from not wanting to kill myself over not being able to do everything all at once. Anyway, I guess it doesn't really matter to me too much anymore, being 75 now I can get mega exp doing campaign and not not really have to worry about partying to get merits, but I just wanted to put my 2 cents in again .lol

Having had to suffer RDM to 75 It is your 2 cents we need to hear on this subject. I remember Vyp had a macro that was on a constant rotation of casting for refresh. I wanted to cry. Poor freak had to have an OCD macro to not go insane doing his job (atleast how others think it should be done)

RDM refresh is one of the big reason I played bard. Until jackasses decieded that bard should be a puller. ::bitch slap:: I think my whm has more defense then my bard. the AF weapon given is a freaking PAPER KNIFE. What about this says "send me out alone to haul back mobs as they beat my ass. And sleep pulling is NEVER a good idea. That is like playing Russian Roulette on a pull... As bard I had enough to do between fights to even think about walking out of camp. Actually had Rangers, Wars and Thfs tell me to go pull. I told them where they could shove their "useless" arrows and I was taking my music and going home. I always subbed whm. It gives a great CHR boost. Seeing brd sub nin make me want to choke them. Many times as BRD/WHM it was me that saved the ass of pt members because the healer went retarded (cure happy) and or got silenced. Casting silena or even becoming main heal since the WHM seems to have stopped responding.. mid fight. (Bard/WHM have a greater resist to silence .) Atleast it sure seems that way.
