RDM Is Still Sexy.

I'm happy to see RDM is returning to its former glory. Grats on Turul and hope you continue to push the limits of RDM.

its not pushing the limits even a little bit lol.

rdm was sexy at 75, its not currently aside from its gear. at 99 im sure it will be sick again tho.


if there is anything that would personally impress me from a solo rdm within aby, it would prolly only be the omega nm, asuming it cant be exploited in some way to make it hella easy (kite nukes). maybe t3 khim as well?

While it is fun to see a RDM solo vid its not mildly impressive. SMN was capable of soloing Yanei and Hedejet for some time. It was fun to solo but not productive for drop-rates.

I do like ur GUI for ffxi though where'd u download?

XI View

You made my halloween! thnx lol

Why would I be happy for him?

NP ^.^

Good sportsmanship I suppose <.<

like I said, just say grats and move along

Level 90, says it at the very start in infobar

95 RDM/BLU solo Shinryu without a brew.

I think you need to make an account to watch the video.

I FEEL SO LOVED

Was easily soloable at 90 with a little evasion gear. Remember that he doesn't build resistance to stun.

I solo'd it on NIN at 90, DNC definitely could, BLU should be able to but I never tried, and I'd imagine other jobs could solo it as well.

What's with the warlock's earring in your gear set?

RDM could easily straight tank Pantokrator and nuke it down. Counters would never be an issue disengaged, two legs mode would basically allow you to nuke freely since you have total control over his TP gain (nukes), four legs mode would be slower due to 50% MDT but he casts in predictable intervals so you should never trigger Chainspell. Even if you did, Fool's will outlast Chainspell. Melee solo would be much, much slower and more annoying due to high counter rate and having to watch for 2hr triggers more carefully but should also be doable, probably as RDM/BLU. Apademak would definitely be more impressive... the need for a reliable stun forces the use of /DRK or /BLM, so you're bloodtanking without Cocoon or Defender. Even then, it could potentially get a spell off while you're in the middle of casting a spell of your own. If you don't dodge Lithic Breath, that would also probably end the attempt.

At least its easy to make an account there. And it is quite an impressive video.

It really is, Cooxx is quickly turning into my favorite RDM soloist. He has insane videos I would never of thought possible.

Here is a link to his blog: http://akamadoushitarutaru.blog66.fc2.com/ It's all in Japanese though so unless you want to just look at the pictures most people will need to use a translator.

He definitely has some good skills, and all on a PS2 as well.

Few pics from his blog:

The elitism in FFXI really has reached a new high.

Cooxx is pretty amazing. Kudos to him.

Congrats on your solos.

So long as SE keeps providing the pimp hats and tight boyshort hotpants, RDM will always be sexy.

+1'd just for title.

Edit: Just watched first video. Wish i could +1 again for spitfire.

Back in my days, soloing was hard.

Grats! Keep kickin arse and chewing bubble gum... looks like you're all out of bubble gum!

Don't wanna come across being a *** but were you using windower macro's/spellcast for these? I'm just curious as i doubt it considering the /echo and /recast lines.

Just curious...
