Jack of All Trades: A Guide to Red Mage
The real question that comes to my mind is if you aren't doing croc /daybreak stuff, why not TP bonus off hand sword?

Get that if that's what you want to prioritize. Ternion +1 is probably your best OH of choice if you're looking to find a good balance between between melee accuracy/tp speed and enspell damage. I think RDM gets somewhere around 37% TA with Temper 2 + Ternion +1, which is a huge boost in addition to the low delay. I doubt Kraken Club would outperform that on anything relevant, but I would be interested in seeing it.

Which WS tends to put out better numbers, Black Halo or Savage Blade? I have a BH set, but was wonder if I should also make one for SB.
BH i think can spike higher due to the +% dmg applying to MA hits which rdm can get plenty of through temper 2, set for both is virtually the same anyway
SB is a tad more accurate / more consistant. BH can spike higher but is club, so acc is a bit lower. They use almost the same set, so why not?
On harder stuff, between the 2, SB is likely to win due to RDM being usually attack starved, and the Naegling bonus helps a lot raise attack. As everything in XI, depends on the situation, and buffs you got. Ah okay, I’ll just use my BH set with it and see how it goes then. Do you guys use SB with Naegling or with the Su4/5 weapon?
Hit master and got my crocea and working on my Sanguine/Seraph sets now.
My merlinic legs are currently augged with: INT+9, MACC+22, MAB+36 (MBD+4% kinda irrelevant). Would I be looking at a major upgrade by getting amalric+1 legs over these?

I have pretty good augments on all my merlinic pieces (33 or more matk on all of them). I still get better damage from Amalric +1 in body/hands/legs/feet. I have an acc set with my merlinic set though. Ahhhhh I forgot to account for set bonus!
I have doublet and gages +1 but no nails :/ I guess I’ll re-calc it with that consideration. ItemSet 371025 Hood has +36 mab and something like ~25 macc and 5 int. Jhakri cuffs +2 have WSD7%, almost certainly going to be BiS

Is Murgleis good for TP? If I made one REMA on RDM would murgleis get me through? Could multi-step light with bow?
Asura.Ladyofhonor said: » Jhakri cuffs +2 have WSD7%, almost certainly going to be BiS Yea you’re right. I am actually using them just derped when making the item set because I had amalric set bonus in my head. Asura.Lunafreya said: » Wouldn't Fotia Belt / Neck here be better? (Assuming no Orpheus) mhomho said: » Is Murgleis good for TP? If I made one REMA on RDM would murgleis get me through? Could multi-step light with bow? Murgleis is fun and yes you can multi step with the bow, I’ve solo self scd kei a few times this way but alas with temper 2 and abundance of stp gear available the need for Murgleis outside of a max magic accuracy set is zero to none. Mines r15 and the only time I ever use it is the rare occasion I actually convert. That said I have every rema for rdm aside from mandau and in terms of physical dd situation I normally use my path b Crocea Mors now. Asura.Lunafreya said: » Ahhhhh I forgot to account for set bonus!

I have viti head +3 but I was under the impression that merlinic hood with about 30 or more MAB would be better? I think the breakdown was something like 1WSD ~= 4 MAB Asura.Lunafreya said: » fillerbunny9 said: » Asura.Lunafreya said: » Ahhhhh I forgot to account for set bonus!

I have viti head +3 but I was under the impression that merlinic hood with about 30 or more MAB would be better? I've read that 1 WSDMG = 3-4 MAB so most likely MAB will win ugh, forgot Chapeau has absolutely zero MAB on it, and I doubt the 23 point raw stat difference plus WSD would make up if you have MAB on Merlinic high enough. though, if/when I get my Mortarboard +3 for Burst situations, I may just try to dump merlinic hood completely because my inventory is just too damned tight with all the JSE necks and capes cluttering us. I am literally struggling to find what I can dump that I wouldn't otherwise use on my other frequent jobs, as I am at 76/80 when in full RDM kit.
What's the priority for getting AF upgrades for RDM? assuming you will focus on debuffs/dd... Thank you

I have viti head +3 but I was under the impression that merlinic hood with about 30 or more MAB would be better? I've read that 1 WSDMG = 3-4 MAB so most likely MAB will win That's going to depend on the WS calculation and the job. WSD being 3-4 MAB is roughly how it works for Corsair's with Leaden Salute, but COR has a lot less MAB access. The more MAB you have, the more WSD is worthwhile, and RDM is also going to have less access to WSD, so taking it where you can get it may work best. Complete guess but I'd wager 1 WSD is closer to 5 MAB for RDM. That said I haven't looked into how Crocea effects elemental WS damage, because if it counts as WSD that'll probably devalue WSD considerably. eeternal said: » What's the priority for getting AF upgrades for RDM? assuming you will focus on debuffs/dd... Thank you Uhh, there isn't, really. AF legs are heals, AF feet are trash, AF hands have some WSD and likely BiS for savage blade so there is that. AF body is for Refresh potency, and technically best for landing debuffs, but landing with Empy body is better potency. And AF head is just for fast cast. eeternal said: » What's the priority for getting AF upgrades for RDM? assuming you will focus on debuffs/dd... Thank you AF: Tabard is the only piece of AF I would recommend for debuffing, other slots are better filled with other pieces. Gloves are supposedly slightly better than Jhakri +2 for Savage Blade, while they double as great for Enhancing spells; the Tights are also amazing for Enhancing spells. neither Boots nor Chapeau are a priority, the former offering little to nothing of value, and the latter's primary focus is as a FC piece, but RDM has plenty of ways of capping FC. personally, I would devote Cards to the more important Tabard, Gloves, and Tights, then upgrade the Chapeau to +2 if desired. Relic: descending importance would probably be head > feet/body > hands > legs. Chapeau is amazing for debuffs and the Boots add duration. Tabard for enhancing and Gloves for Boost spells. Legs would be the lowest priority in that the only thing they really bring to the table is the most DEX in the leg slot for Weaponskills. Artifact
Relic Empyrean Quote: That said I have every rema for rdm aside from mandau and in terms of physical dd situation I normally use my path b Crocea Mors now. Which Offhand and Weapon skill are you using in that scenario. Asura.Sechs said: » Technically you will want 5/5 Empy armor, for Composure duration. 4/5 with af gloves actually.

Granted you still want hands for Sabo debuffs though, I'd dare to say. Also when we get reforged +3, those gloves might become BiS for enfeebling regardless of Sabo. Asura.Radamantis said: » Quote: That said I have every rema for rdm aside from mandau and in terms of physical dd situation I normally use my path b Crocea Mors now. Which Offhand and Weapon skill are you using in that scenario. Kinda wonder this myself. Path B seems to be the best for subtle blow or self skillchaining, but savage blade should be better with Naegling, CDC with almace, elemental WSs with path C.
