Red Mages of the Future, gaze your eyes upon this glamourific Information:rtfm: Known as the one and only:

"Great Book of the Old and Wise, wise...really really(Did I meantion really?) Wise Xzerper Zentro"

Use MND gear for Slow and Paralyze Macros. Or I will personally stab your eyes out. Thanks.

And quit using MP equipment. Unless you're Elvaan and Galka, or using it for a Convert Macro, MP+ ..

Keep in mind, this is for RDM who are specifically dedicated to Endgame, other RDMs, it's not as important during small NMs and EXP mobs.

Red Mages who already read this glamorific book, please ignore this flame.

As for other RDMs who purposely neglect this feature known as "Gear Swapping" Quit playing Mage and level a Melee class ...err nevermind. I can not diss melee classes without insulting them.

Just quit the game.

I see from your sig that you've never levelled a melee class so I'm guessing that's why you don't realize how incredibly stupid this statement is.
 
So I heard Valkurm Dunes is full of newbies who don't know how to play. c/d.

I'm just kidding. We all know FFXI doesn't have newbies.

Just a question as i do not know everything:

What good will that do on convert when as soon as u unequip the mp+ gear you lose the mp?

I'm not a RDM but a informative response may help me if i ever decide to dedicate myself to this job.

The extra MP you packed in on MP+ gear can be used on cures for yourself after convert, therefore you do not need to use your available pool without MP+ gear.
 
Press Ctrl 1 2 3 4 5 6 for debuffs on mobs every time the pull is done.
Then target each member in party and press 3 and 4 (For haste and refresh).
Then if you are good and don't have fat fingers, press ctrl 7 and 8 for refresh and heals every now and then. If you are very pro like me, press ctrl 9 and 0 for heals.

plz play responsibly
 
So... WSM likes to refresh everyone in the party, including melee with no MP, and then occasionally refresh them again. Gotcha.

Might wanna rephrase this statement. You make it sound like having some MP gear is dumb.

I agree with the first statement, RDMs should swap in MND Gear for Slow and Paralyze.

But the second one, I don't agree with so much. If your not using MP+ gear when your just standing there, then what should you use? MND Gear? Then what would be the point of gear swapping?

My setup for RDM Macros seems less complicated, thanks though.

To be effective at any job you should be swapping gear. There is not one gear set to rule them all for any job.

This is probrably the better lesson to be known
 
MND gear is usefull for 2 spells, last I checked rdm alone has access to 80 other spells, limiting rdm gear to mnd gear is dumb, if anything mnd gear is the gear you use the least. Good rdm gear is gear that provides usuefull stats. MND gear is very tiny part of it. usefull stats are :

MP,refresh, enfeebling, elemental, INT, MND, magic accuracy, enmity , haste, fast cast, consever mp, spell interruption, magic attack bonus, magic defense bonus, etc..

Not in the exact order of importance, but yeah, all of those are important, MND is just a small part. Which is why I have Gear sets for "Standing, Enfeebling-MND, Enfeebling-INT, Enhancing, Healing, Nuking, Dark, and etc."
