They both suck. Pup destroys them both.

No one plays that shit so how would anyone know. Play FFXI, not with dolls.

Re: Blue Mage vs Red mage?

Initially I would have said red could out last blue, but with mana battery, now... I dunno

Also I went from 76 -80 with a 30k buffer in 4 hrs yesterday on bugards in Aby-Konschtat. it was so amazing, 18/18 exp parties are so nice, because at any given time, 2-4 people can be slacking off, and playing half assed, and the party is still near as efficent as when everyone is on point.

This does not apply to: Puller, Main assist, Chest bitch, main sleeper. Everyone else can /assist, Nuke or WS or whatever until their hearts content ^^ Hel

Also 2 hours are cheating

That's like saying you're cheating if we run a race and your legs are longer. It's not your fault you were given an advantage and you use it just like it's not our fault rdms have an awesome 2hr and use it.

I thought it was generally accepted that popping your 2 hour in Ballista/Brenner is a dick move. No question that with CS up RDM > every other class in the game.

At what point was this about Ballista or social norms?

Re: Blue Mage vs Red mage?

For the vetren RDMs out there I have two scenarios:

First:
You are in PVP and you start full MP/HP. You apply your normal buffs (so total MP minus cost of buffs). You spot a BLU (Sword/Sword style) in the distance outside of casting range. He sees you pauses for a second then casts a buff(This means you have enough time to do two things before he is in melee range).

1. What are you normal buffs:


2. What would you do for your first action as he is outside of casting range( If using Chainspell first then I guess you would have enough time to cast 1-2 spells before he is in casting range?...):


3. What would you do for your last action as in is in casting range( If using Chainspell first then I guess you would have enough time to cast 2-3 spells before he is in melee range?...):

Second:
(This is how you would see me in PvP event or PvE event)
You are in PVP and you start full MP/HP. You apply your normal buffs (so total MP minus cost of buffs). You spot a BLU (Sword/Shield style) in the distance outside of casting range. He sees you pauses for a second then casts a buff (This means you have enough time to do two things before he is in melee range).

2. What would you do for your first action as he is outside of casting range( If using Chainspell first then I guess you would have enough time to cast 1-2 spells before he is in casting range?...):

Re: Blue Mage vs Red mage?

I've yet to be defeated by a RDM on my BLU, and before any of you say they were shitty RDMs, eh nvm, yall will say it anyways. regardless of how "good" they are, BLU vs RDM are more evenly matched than people are willing to admit.

Re: Blue Mage vs Red mage?

Yup. It's an epic battle regardless of who wins. RDM has the speed and status magic, but BLU honestly brings far more variety to the table, which is what makes them so damned dangerous.

And like I said, five freaking stun spells! If a BLU manages to stun lock you, it's GG. It really comes down to who's the better player in this case and even then, I've seen some crazy epic RDM vs BLU battles. It can honestly go either way, but I have to favor BLU in this case. BLU was designed to be a true fighter mage; RDM honestly just kind of dabbles in the melee department.
