Red Mage in Ballista! what's your strategy?

[Argenin.]

I'm gonna start using my 42 rdm in 40 cap ballista.

I've seen some pretty good rdms out there. And what I used to do in 30 cap was sub /nin and dual wield 2 swords along with using Utsusemi. Also a lot of my spells wear off quickly or get resisted.

I'm just curious on how other red mages play in ballista, cuz im not doing as good as I thought I would.

Plz give me some advice or share how you like to ballista with your rdm.

I am an Elvaan RDM.

The /nin thing is highly overrated until you have Ni availible. I'd suggest using /blm and go for the AoE to wipe shadows >> most time effcient spell with some killing power. Also Elemental Seal will help stick all those happy fun debuffs and sleepga is plus. Plus, there are no good sword skills at that level, so put the toothpicks down, grab a wand and start blastin'.

I go as RDM/BLM =/ Sleepga ftw

The problem is, sleepga is a lvl 31 blm spell so you only get that with the uncapped ballista by subbing blm, but yeah, I always sub blm since my nin is only lvl 1 anyways I mostly just AOE everyone if I can.

On a side note with the new PvP: Brenner. It was quite easy and fun as I stood there AoEing off my @ss targetting the lit flame to destroy it and attack all who's around it.

Yea in Brenner, RDM and BRD can sure have a lot of fun.

BLMs too but those floating orbitals act like the final ZM Boss orbitals where they can cast ancient magic.

 

[Kizaryo]

The BLMs and Orbitals can be best of friends, granted its not an opposing orbital. :-D

 

[Amidamaru]

Just kill

Simple, Dominate, that is what RDMs do in ballista.

Well what I did is...

Do the typical rdm tactic, attrition, wear your enemy down and nuke the hell out of them, bind, gravity, sleep, silence (if a mage), bio etc.
