Rdm Vs. Ninja (Which one can solo better)

Well it doesn't work on the spell Blink, any Goblin Leecher can tell you that. :mad: It gets rid of one shadow but that isn't really "working"...

Probably it doesn't work on Utsusemi either - but if you want to be sure, go to Sauromugue and ask a Yagudo Herald.

However, while Dispel doesn't work on Utsusemi, Stonega and Diaga do... I'd recommend Stonega because you can still Sleep2 him afterwards, which gives you plenty of time to dump a full enfeeble and enhance set (not including the DoT enfeebles, but you can live without those) before you start busting out the Thunder3s and Drain if he ever lands a hit. Go RDM!

OK, here're clips of the last game, San d'Oria vs Bastok, no LV restriction.

Last week, we had shameful experience; losing to Bastok by 6 : 200. Some people watching the game even called us, "Muscular Brain Kingdom (脳ç_‹çŽ‹å›½) San d'Oria" because they just charged and got killed...

This time, I went there to revange them. Luckily, we had enough mages and our group was well-organized, too. We finally won by 80 : 40 something.

I kept recording the movie till the end of the game but the clip is larger than 10GB and I have no way to upload the whole thing even I compress it. Therefore, I made a digest. I removed BCNM50 clip...

1. The Beginning

It was fun to see two MNKs (Hume and Galka) did suprise attack on my friend (Elvaan PLD) with Invisible.

2. RDM isn't soft!

Asran Fists from LV75 Gal MNK wasn't hard enough to beat this tiny taru RDM down. However, LV75 MNK is very hard since their attack speed is very fast. You see I had my spell casting inturrupted.

3. DRK 75 Taru vs Sub-DRK 65 Taru

This Taru DRK is always brave but he was a little reckless this time. BTW, see his gorgeous gears? However, his Guillotine only did 222 dmg on me. I think he should change his weapons but he may take pride in his Scythe.

Well, it was good to use my "Hyahhoi Blade" hehe

4. Scored 6 petras.

Scoring 6 out of 80 isn't bad for LV65 mage, isn't it? It is hard form me to get Gate Breach status.

5. Killed first time.

Again that Gal MNK! I hate him! I know he is a good guy in XP PT though =) He again used Invisible and did surprise attack on me... I had no MP and couldn't do anything.

6. To the end of the game

We were winning and the game was almost over but I still had 120% TP left. So, I just wanted to have fun.

Well, the reason my hyahhoi blade only did 100 dmg was because he had Utsumi I on... (After the game, he told me he had it on.) He counter-striked me with his Rampage and I was killed. It was fun to see WS vs WS anyway.

Overall, it was an exciting game. The only problem of Ballista is it's too costly. I brought two dozens each of Seafood Kebob, Echo Drop, and Poison Portion - around 50K plus 7.5K entry fee. I hope S-E did something for other people to enjoy without spending their money.

I was bored and didn't feel like leveling this taru RDM but Ballista encourages me to go. I have a lot of things to do but I want to see RDM's potential. I wanna try RDM 75/RNG 37, /NIN 37, /WAR 37, and so on. So, hope you guys also have fun there.

From my one experience in Ballista, DoT spells on you are a positive thing, not a negative.

The one of you eating and surviving the Asuran Fists is beautiful. ^^

[Humehero]

Agreed you taking Asuran Fists was great - I love it that you owned the pld ^^ good job Apple Pie.

[pdac]

Awesome videos ^^

Its great to see how people use tactics in the game, I'll file these away for my next matches.

To the original poster:

NM
Nin hands down. Unless there is a GA spell.

HNM
nin IMO because a nin/whm has acces to stat heals while rdm/nin doesnt and has a low evade,sword, sheild, parry, and other skills therefore they will loose a shadown once hit everytime the mob swings.

Ballista
If you pit a rdm against a nin in ballista you WILL get different/varried results and i say this because i watched a nin/war slaughter a blm, rng, war, and rdm with '/tell fyreus nah, little or no problem' (lmao funniest line in the whole 4mins he lived) rdm using anything physical is useless since nin's blind is just twice as powerfull (cant debate there) and getting nuked for 80X4 in 8-10 secs on a rdm HP bar isnt all so nice to deal with and the silence/stun/poison/def weakening/ katanas.. thats a different story as well as shuriken.

On the other hand you have the diaga aka utsusemi killer along with refresh and debuffs IF your not silenced. as for bind, dont use it cause resistance is way up there and if you want gravity then pray he doesnt sub thf.

anywho, im a lil biased since the job let me down so take it with a grain of salt.
