Taru Nin/Rdm?

[Draco]

i thought about this. think it's a good idea? also later on i was even thinking about Summoner not so sure on that...i got the game but haven't played yet (no credti card) although i did whatch the opening video....ooooo that was sooooo cool i frig'n cant wait to play- and after seeing it i gain a great hatred towards orcs >:[

[CarbonFibre]

I'll give it the fact that it's unique. I've never even heard of someone like that. I don't know if it would be very good though. Sounds like fun if it works out (not to mention very expensive).

[Draco]

Well if it's original it's cool but i just thought it would be cool why do you think it would be expensive? (dont fully understand the game...yet)

[CarbonFibre]

Well red mage is expensive compared to some of the other jobs because you need to buy just as much armor and weapons as some of the melees sometimes, and then you also have to buy a lot of scrolls for spells. For ninja, the armor may or may not be interchangeable between the two jobs and you will need to buy scrolls and items that run out (much like a ranger does). I'm sure that the jobs in the game are not drastically different in how much gil you need to spend (they even out in different areas), but when I thought about it, the combo just seemed expensive.

[Draco]

ok thats good to know but can you think of any problems it's gonna cause? and howabout summoner added into the lot? but i soo can't wait to start i should hopefully start on thursday but i am just sooo excited

[CarbonFibre]

Sorry, I'm not experienced enough with the game to make a comment on your other questions. Hopefully someone else will reply.

[Draco]

alright thanks for what you have told me- i still don't quite understand the whole scroll/spell thing...? can you tell me?

[CarbonFibre]

Well to learn a spell that you are able to cast, you have to buy a scroll. When you use the scroll, it goes away and you now know the spell. 1 spell per scroll. I'm not sure on how the ninjitsu stuff works.

the blind leading the blind. a redmage is an enfeebler not a damag dealer, a ninja is a tank not a damage dealer, the only thing a ninja should sub is war, for provoke to tank, granted i will get some people in a few posts who say i'm closeminded or cookie cutter, or elitest. the only things a redmage should sub is black or whitemage, maybe maybe, summoner or bard, but only a support class, subbing mages to melees is bad, as is subbing melees to mages. these combo's have no use in mid-late leveling pt's

[Draco]

well i'm gonna go taru nin/rdm no matter what- i just wanted to know what people would think of it ^_^ and as i can see it will probably be expensive but *shrug* it will be fun and thats what the game is all about ^_~ but i'm glad to hear everyones opinions whether good or bad- it will all help me to improve. the only reason i want to go summoner is to get carbuncle, carbuncle is my favorite summon ^_^ anyway any one feel free to comment on my decision

Why bother posting if all you're looking for is a pat on the back and low leveled nin's to come in and say yes nin/rdm rules you are the best?

[edit] Mixed up rdm and nin Also come to think of it, I'm pretty sure 90% of the nin's would tell you that /rdm is a bad idea, but since you're not going to listen anyway that's a moot point.

[Bamce Sylph]

unforutnally by wanting to know what other people think, u open yourself to they're opinions. just because i didn't tell you what u wanted to hear doesn't mean i was wrong. i remember back when i started it hought rdm/nin would be kinda cool , then as i accualy played the game, something which i will note that u have yet to do. i realize how bad an idea that was, please don't come to sylph i have enough problems w/ the.... "unique" combo's found herein

[Rakhir]

Well, I guess I'll have to talk to him since no one else is. Yes, its expensive. I'd say get your RDM up to 38 with all updated spells first. I didn't do this and I know I'm going to regret it when I hit 60. :spin: One of the main things about this combo is you get enspells going on both weapons. You really have to know your monsters' weaknesses for this to be effective as well. Although you'll only start off with enthunder first...it works decently on a large variety of monsters. After you get every en except enfire and enwater (where I am right now) you're mostly fighting things that are weaker to enaero or enblizzard. Like, beetles and spiders in quicksand caves. Casting enspells about every 2 battles certainly depeltes your mp over time. Carrying juice with you, having a BRD in the PT, or asking a RDM for refresh every once in a while works well. You'll need to keep stock of the elemental jutsus once you get them to increase the enspell damage against that monster as well. Sure, a lot of people don't like different combos for serveral logical reasons. So, whatever. :p
If you wanna talk some more about it just private message me.

[Discordian]

I really don't see the point in /rdm since enspell will never be a very high enhancing level, the spells that you can use for damage as a rdm arn't that powerful when subbed (let alone rdm main), and invisible is already taken care of under ninja. If you are looking for Phalanx at nin66/rdm33 it won't perform how you would like and Warrior sub would probably perform better anyway. If you want damage and special things nin/drk is probably how you want to go. I don't think this would perform all that great since I did hume nin/rdm untill level 12.

well deoderant i wasn't looking for a pat on the back i was seeing what people thought about it- not only so i could learn more and see how it would be- but to see how well it would fit in a party- in this case not how useful but how people would react to it, and i was opening myself to peoples opinions- thats what i wanted to know which i got yours was negative and i think no less of you everyone else thnx for your opinions-rakhir especially
