Ok first off i'd like to say i have nothing against rdm melee, the thing that does piss me off is when ppl dont listen..

So im in nest as my 51 WAR try'n to lv, when our pts rdm named Crayola (sp?) says "i gtg soon". At this time everyones cool with everything and i find his replacement. But i notice something wrong with mp, after every fight he has 50-100 mp (as a taru) <.<;. I also notice he is meleeing with his staff so i ask nicely for him to stop, i ask 3 times before fight is up.. and once after fight before i pull the next mob. So next fight comes he still isnt listening, (note: im getting quite frustrated irl) but i notice his health hit 0 in one hit. it was very fast because he linked a helm bettle while meleeing in fight.. after he died 2nd one aggro and me an Khronos (the other war ) died as our pt jumped out in escape. I guess all this happens but im kinda mad simply b/c this could have been avoided if he listened to me and stoped meleeing.. Oh well tho my pts up now and we are exping again so no harm done i guess right? Just saying watch out for this guy, hes not a listener :P.
 
I had the same problem around lvl 40 ;/ wow he did not change at all..
 
Wow... Meleeing with a staff?

Maybe he missed the memo, but red mages do not get staff skill.

Crayola must be playing with a Bradygames guide. :/

Yeah, those things are poison to anyone who actually wants to get party invites... or do their job correctly... or get anywhere in the game past rank 5.

Their best suggestion for any Taru melee? Sub WHM! Thats right you can sub whm and really help out the pt with that one cure... Nevermind the fact that you are probably loosing damage/HP/surviveability(sp) cause you can help out by giving someone 30 HP back. :roll:
 
Next exp party, I am totally meleeing with a wind staff. SA Staff for 60 damage!
 
maybe he bought his acct like i did.....jk

So let me get this straight. The add agroed him just because he was meleeing? So there would of been no add if he wasn't meleeing?

It may have still aggroed him but he could have switched targets and used Sleep II.
 
I dunno how any Red Mage manages to melee at all...I did it for shits and giggles in my party last night for one fight, just to laugh at it...Everytime I cast an enfeeble, a different equip is swapped in....Wind Staff on Gravity, then Rose Wand+1 on Paralyze, Earth Staff on Slow, Fire Staff on MB(Doing Fusion)....How the hell do you melee? I hit the mob with at least 5 different weapons that fight lol.
 
Sometimes we let our RDM melee a lil bit (in our static) when we are steamrolling the mobs over. It lets our RDM have a little fun. Nothing like seeing a RDM get all giddy when you tell him/her that they can melee a bit if they want.

well there are 2 ways you can do it
way 1: put staff in bazaar for 99999999999 ao that you dont switch to staffs I do that when im soloing alot because dont need them.

way 2: make it so you switch to staff for cast then have it macroed so it switch back to sword and sheild after the cast.

meleeing stop hard after 72 though cause errant gear turn dmg in to $#*!.
though wise gear is nice for rdm melee.

we do, its just a really really really low class of it lol. If we didn't have any skill we couldn't use staff WSs but we can :p

It maybe be because of your sub. BLM and WHM and SMN all have staff skill. But I'm not sure, I just heard that.

correct, and just like blue said even if he did aggro the mob, he coulda helped sleep if his taru ass didnt die.
