Hey all,

Kind of “stupid question” but I needed your opinion as I am gearing RDM for endgame content but also soloing high level stuff where possible.

If you are bringing your RDM DD to a party (e.g limbus/ sortie etc) how do you manage your idle/ engaged sets in both mainhand and offhand slots? To be specific,

Option 1: do you swap your weapons when engaging/disenganging to the cost of losing TP but to the benefit of gaining an extra “something” when in idle (disengaging)? For example a Sacro Bulwark for extra defense of Kam shield for refresh +1.

Option 2: do you keep your TP sets main/offhands weapons when disengaging so that you won’t lose TP? (This is what i currently do)

For the same reasoning, when you are soloing as a RDM do you swap your weapons or Ou Gem for landing enfeebling spells? I know that enfeebling spells duration is quite long today but if a given spell is resisted 2/3 times in a row, you risk to reset your tp everytime.

How do you manage these situations?

Hey all,

Can I get your opinion, based on your experience and possibly backed by numbers, on Sworn equipment for RDM? Limbus has been going for a year now and I see people with 2/3 or more R30 pieces (not me unfortunately).

In my understanding it is a tankier idle/TP set with nice meva and DEF topped with TA and enspell dmg (situational)

Taking into consideration my main Jobs RDM COR SCH and THF (which I like the most but not META) I have decided to invest in a Sworn set because of RDM solo capabilities. I have just R30’d the body and I was wondering if I should keep going.

I have read here and there, mostly on ffxiah, that the whole sworn set, even if nice, is not going to improve the job this much, and that malign + hoxne beats sworn + hoxne.. are these numbers real? Even not accounting for hoxne. Has any of you particularly appreciated sworn set on RDM? Any regrets?

Also, I was thinking to gear DRK at this point, but even here in the same forum page I have read that sakpata beats sworn. So what am I missing?

What is the purpose of rolling and overwriting buffs the moment phantom rolls is up again?? No serioursly what was up on dev minds? The best one was he started with Chaos Roll 11 followed by Evoker’s roll, mob dead, enganged new mob, and he immediately recasted Chaos on unlucky number + bust on a previous Chaos 11 roll which had 4+minutes left.

Kinda tired of releasing Qultada after every chaos roll to avoid this and recast him every 5min (chaos roll duration). But yeah this is what I do when I farm dyna /disgusted

Hey all,

Considering that R30’ing single pieces is a huge time/resource investment, has anyone made a tier list of +2 armors similar to PREMA tier list? I have searched on here and ffxiah forum but I have only found scattered informations on specific job e.g for job X prioritize body>hands>feet.

If one has only 1/2 jobs there is not much of a choice, but when multiple jobs are involved it becomes either do what you like or maximize to get the best output. PREMA tier list is made such that people are aware of which weapon is going to change a specific job completely (e.g. yagrush nirvana tizona). What about limbus gear?

Let’s assume all jobs are 99’d and equally desidere by the player, what is the tier order, not by equip SET but by single armor piece (because sometime some single pieces are not desirable). On my mind it would be like:

1. Sworn body

2.Revelation Brais

3….

Is this too subjective to be realized?

Hi all,

Kind of a stupid question but I still need to ask.

How do you guys verify or be sure that pre-shot/pre-cast gear was factored in? And I am talking about gearswap.

If pre-equipment set were equal to mid-equipment set there would no problem since no swithcing is implied. And you can see equipment changing in gearswap once.

What about pre-cast/shot though? It is weird because 9/10 of the times I only see midcast/shot equipment switching inside the boxes, and that single that pre- gear kicks in I cannot notice the difference in terms of speed. So I figured pre- gear is factored in so fast you cannot even see it in gearswap boxes, hence you only see mid- gear. This was my aasumpition but then there this rare occasione when I see pre-gear kicking in inside the boxes. How does that really work?

Also, let’s take rdm. Some spells are almost insta-cast that I am worried that there is not enough time for mid-cast gear to kick in. Yes maybe I could verify that by looking at buff timers… but still I have the impression or fear that due to lag or too fast spellcasting, equipping precast gear is a risk because there is not enough time for midcast to be equipped properly.

So maybe, while for casting it is a bit easier to test because one could verify buff timers. For preshot is another different story. How do you do that?
