THEY both are
HI mir its triel

RDM = less mp , but eat a pie get the mp back and wear mp up items.
equal mnd and int gain
Rdm and whm coincide very well for the enfeebling magics and whms curative skills.

the ability to have slightly more robust hp helps when something decides to snack on you.

BLM = more mp less mnd more int, pplus the blm weakenings not as strong as a rdm but will help some.
the hp loss hurts some but not a whole helluva lot.

imo the only thing is after awhile mp gain when resting at latter levels and regen works very well with the rdm.

theres no really bad side about either of these.

Some of stat gains actually vary on race.

/BLM definately is better.

HP does not matter because a whm does not tank, it's all about MP.

Regen1 is now available to WHM/.
Regen2+ is WHM/ only.

The bad side about /RDM is that your magic attack (a boost ability given to BLM at many levels, while to RDMs only at a few levels and at less potency) is low.

Magic attack also effects your ability to successfully weaken a monster.

With /RDM your choices for weaken spells is halved. Some of the weaken spells are BLM only. If you want to raise your weaken skill as a WHM, sub BLM so you have spells and the power to sucessfully cast them (success cast = skill up).

Most of all, when you teleport yourself or people somewhere, wouldn't you like to teleport yourself back instantly anytime? Dezone is a BLM only spell.
