All of em say the same. But I've never seen it done =/ That's all I'm saying. 30 some odd parties since lvl 45, all the RDM's melee, they all are shitty.

The day Galdor told me he is going to be RDM/NIN I started to /blist him but then he said j/k just in time before I hit Enter Key! :lol: :lol: :lol:

What is in the bold, is amazingly, not your job as a RDM. Thats my view anyway. When the tank DC's thats when you sleep the mob or another melee takes up the tanking duty ;o RDM = Debuff, Refresh, Haste, Throw out some cures, Sleep mobs, depending on your job sub (mage) status cures, elemental debuffs, and MB'ing. I dont see tank 'o' lol. And no, I didn't watch the video. It wont change my mind, because the other 48579847523479238798510357 melee'ing RDMs that suck, have influenced me too greatly.

But I don't pay your game bill every month and you should play the game the way you enjoy. Props to ya ;) My point from the very beginning? Every RDM I've seen that melee's doesnt have time to keep up with thier real job, dont debuff haste or even refresh sometimes. And when they -are- debuffing, its constant resists. I out-debuff RDM's I party with as a NIN =/ Thats sad. lol. But as long as they stay away from the mobs ass and dont get SATA (as the point of the RDM topic was) then I'll have fun tanking (becuase thats my job).
 
sure sleeping was my first reaction, but after about 10min it got old :/ our tank dced for a while.. not like a quick dc and came back, she didnt come back at all... i ended up tanking about 2k exp that night til we got a replacement. in the video i did more than 3dmg per hit... infact one of my hits ( not crit ) was in the 70s
the video even showed i had the mob paralized
party was refreshed

if you can melee and enfeeb and cast elemental magic what makes you think a rdm cant?
 
sorry neo but i disagree, a rdm doesnt need to melee. you can do alot more damage occasionally nuking than you can meleeing the whole fight.

sure, any rdm knows they can tank, but unless you are skilling up, soloing, or short a tank for a suitable event, i dont think its really a great idea.

i understand you have a drk sub which is badass for gods, but just because its a melee sub, doesnt mean that it takes over your main jobs role... im not saying its not possible to do all your red mage roles and melee, because it is, but its just not worth it.
 
i never said rdm 'need' to melee and i never said i put meleeing above my magic casting though i might have made it seem like i did.
im just saying that rdm can infact melee and carry out what it is the party wants them to do at the same time. in terms of melee dmg... do ninjas have any room to speak? :X honesty ninja wasnt even meant to tank when it was introduced, but yet they do because somone found a way for them to and it got popular. meleeing for rdm is popular yes, but im going to agree that for the vast majority its done wrong.
i feel that i pulled off meleeing while being a rdm well, and because of that i dont think that a rdm should be forced to not melee.

im probably making a big fool of my self but so what, im proud to say that im a melee mage because i think i pulled it off the right way.
 
^^; I wish I could force RDM's not to melee if they sucked but ya know, like I said, I don't pay thier account. And even if they suck I still want my dispel. So that saves melee'er mages from the boot.

And tank may not of been the ideal job for ninja for the first few... days? weeks? it was introduced, but it is now. Thats what matters =)
