I really don't understand. Why mainhand a dagger and offhand a sword? Does the swap in delay have something to do with it?

Evisceration > Savage Blade. RDMs don't get Vorpal Blade natively.

It was a Ridill/JOY WAR (in hellstorms post) That doesn't exactly qualify as a "Ridill WAR" in my eyes.

Holy shit, you're right. I guess that's all they can brag about, beating gimps and retards.

I read it and actualy had to laugh out loud, and I'm in the middle of a university class at the moment. I guess I should steer clear of Hellstorm posts when not in private.
 
If RDMs can melee in a party, I give WHMs the same right. They have a better Club skill than RDMs do Sword/Dagger.

Clubs also have the best Damage to delay ratio of damage in the game. And Hexa Strike is quite unbalanced in its power.
 
Not to mention club has the highest base damage of any one-handed weapon in the game. And most of the "good" gear that a red mage can wear to help their DD, WHM can wear as well or has an equivalent.

Debate continued?

K.


Don't fucking melee as a RDM in a group. If you want to solo do it however the fuck you want.

Did I do it right?

In light of the recent threads on rdm end game tanking and alternate functions outisde of the traditional role revelent information is appreciated. If you want to turn this into a flame go to the flameboard and start one up. God knows Hellstrom is fighting a losing battle every day on QCDN anyway.

If you have information on how to maximize rdm damage potential in a merit party, regular party, HNM, solo, w/o please post here. Hellstrom you should have posted this in end game discussion imo.
 
If the server is so backwards on the times, I'd suggest you red mages of the future hop servers.Not directed at anyone in particular, just remembering what Uzor said in some thread somewheres on the board. Seriously, so many topics have been derailed into RDDM it's confusing.
 
Melee and RDM should not be allowed to be used in the same sentence.

If you really wanna see how good a RDM can melee just make a cannon RDM PT and see all the awesome XP you get. if you break 3K/hr then you might be on to something!!!:crazy:

Wut ? Care to explain the use of dmg -% for rdm melee ?

[QUOTE="Marajade, post: 820092, member: 350"]Clubs also have the best Damage to delay ratio of damage in the game. And Hexa Strike is quite unbalanced in its power.[/QUOTE]

This statement is wrong.

Blau doch dps is 11.12

Perdu wand dps is 9.44

Mensur epee 10.57

Correct me if i'm wrong but perdu wand is the best non-relic type club for whm. Not to mention that the majority of club suck with a delay of a sword or worse and the dmg of a weak dagger. So no, i disagree, club suck.

dunno where they got Club being the best DPS weapon came from >.O They have about the same damage as axes, with higher delay.

thats actually wrong... <100TP Perdu wand is 10.83 (link)... if a WHM is meleeing, why would they save TP?

Ok i made the same mistake as blau doch.
Perdu wand dps is 10.83
 
Use -Dmg% versus mobs that hit for high damage per hit like bune maybe?

Majority of club suck, but them hammers done right work wonders.

I think they meant damage to delay ratio, and not DPS.
