Refresh the paladin, thank you.

Re: Hey Red Mages!

Ok we get it, a RDM didn't refresh your paladin. Now stop coming here and making dumb posts. Thank you.

REFRESH THE PLD!

[Altae]

Re: Hey Red Mages!

Refreshing the PLD was actually pretty rare during the first month(s) of Retail FFXI. There seriously were RDMs going around thinking only MAGES needed refresh. And no one would touch the PLD since he's a "Melee" type class. Mr. "Up Front & Personal." But that was like 2 years ago now. If anyone on Midgardsormr knew Helpme and still maintain contact with him, you can even ask him how the refresh status was 2 years ago :D

Re: Hey Red Mages!

If you are gonna make this thread, make a thread telling PLD to REST FOR MP instead of standing there like they are DD.

Of course there are exceptions but I've PT with too many PLD who stay standing to save 13tp..... (I can see TP% via the windower)

Re: Hey Red Mages!

I'll keep doing my job and keep you refreshed if you dont whine about your refresh being off for 5 whole seconds because my spell has a cooldown timer e.e

I have to say that is one of my biggest pet peeves. When I'm already on top of the refreshes and etc, or I'm busy casting an important spell, or quickly dropping a MB etc. and someone bitches about Refresh or Haste not being up for like 5 seconds.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN! Unless your ws is ABSOLUTELY VITAL for the party to kill the mob, and if it is then the pt probably sucks, sit your arse down and get a few ticks of MP!!

Such is the way of the rdm. ; ; I've said it before and I'll say it again, rdm's are very "underappreciated". When a blm hits a mb or the dd's renkei etc. you hear people saying {Good Job!} but how often does a GOOD rdm hear that? {/sigh}

Re: Hey Red Mages!

Good RDMs have refresh priority something like this:

RDM > PLD > WHM > SMN > BLM > anyone else

Notice how PLD is #2 on the list? End of discussion.

Thats because people are too busy yelling at us to refresh and haste them!

I follow this list, but depending on their current MP, I may switch SMN and BLM around.

Lately I've had a lot of JPN parties, and they've all told me I did very well. But I got an invite today just as I logged on. I was only planning on doing some farming or crafting as I only had an hour to spend. I told them I only had an hour, but they wanted me to come out anyway.

The NIN tank wasn't a bad NIN, but just annoyingly bossy. As if nobody else knew how to do their job. Most NIN's I party with only ask me to Enfeeble if they're resisted. This one says he's not going to do any enfeebling until he's Lv.44.

I stay longer than I told them I would, the NIN basically orders me to stay after I said I have 5 minutes tops to stay. Then says they don't need me, not like I made any difference. The WHM and the BLM immediately spoke up for me. Which felt nice.

So I think most other mages really appreciate us, and in my experience a lot of them speak up and say something. But there are those that don't quite realize what it is we do for the party. But let a NIN see "mob is paralyzed" 3 straight times as they get their shadows back up, and maybe they'll really know what we can do for them.

EDIT:
I've yet to party with a BRD since I've learned Refresh. Do we Refresh them? So many of them have such low MP, and already have Ballad up, should we put them at the end of that list?

Re: Hey Red Mages!

Yeah I always hit me first, then pally, then whm ( if there is one ), followed by others (depending on current mp.) In parties with ninja I'll refresh me, then damage casters (Even if there is a whm and even then only depending on WHM mp useage). God I love parties with ninja :D

I agree with you, especially about us being unappreciated but I've come to think of it as jealousy as we are the soloooooooo kings! next to bst of course... talking about bosses and other hard stuff though so I figure rdm are better?

Ahh parties with BRDs are awesome (only ever been in one and that was at level 61) I have to say it was the best thing in the world! Especially with Nin tank and SMN. I found I never had to refresh the BRD. He had really little MP and altough at times he was sitting low, I asked him if he would like refreshes, and he told me it would be a waste of mp, and he was doing fine.

One thing I found while in the party with BRD was that me and the blm were spamming stone 1 for no MP cost which were hitting for constant 20-40 damage. It was sweet considering the no mp cost.
