Jack Of All Trades: A Guide To Red Mage

I refresh all buff then take composure off. 15 seconds is 4 absorb max a min, 12 is 5, times 6-10 min NQ/HQ and suddenly you absorbed an extra 6-10 times a fight. You might have to refresh again but do that one composure-less and keep absorbing on time. I do not think you need this incredible amount of acc, I use different pieces and have no problem absorbing, actually my highest is 550 …. Don’t know how to post it but can share to anyone on discord pm to prove it

If BRD and COR with 0 Dark Magic skill can land Absorb-TP, RDM won't have any issue landing it.

I don't have testing to confirm it, but I don't believe Absorb-TP has any resist states other than a full resist. You either steal 30% (or whatever it is) of the mob's TP, or it fails to take effect, in my experience.

All this to say, if you absorbed 550 TP, that doesn't mean your macc is really good, it means your group gave Aminon way too much TP between absorbs and you got lucky not being murdered by a TP move.

Gavroches the thing is that composure gives you 70 acc, and that's quite something once soul voice falls.
Not vital, but it helps.
Plus you're forgetting composure gives a bonus duration (with proper sets) to debuffs you land on him.

The there's the additional duration of buffs but that's just icing on the cake imho, if it were just for that I could live easily without it

What stops you from applying all the debuffs, then drop composure and put it back when you need to apply debuffs again?

Exactly what RDM should do, composure come off after all buff/debuff/PLD rebuff. At that point it’s just a recast timer game and composure comes off, so about a min into it.

His point is that Aminon shouldn't live past Soul Voice songs.

Lute posted a video discussing Enfeebling Magic. Turned on auto-translate English subtitles to follow along. Don't think there was anything here we didn't already know.




He did mention Ice Spikes and the paralysis effect that he thinks caps at 33% (BGWiki just says its a high rate but not quantified). Good for stuff that erases enfeebles often (Caturae) or if something doesn't have high native para resist, you can pretty much reach the cap with spikes alone. I've always used it on RUN for rare instances where I tank. Blind has a high upper limit, but hard to reach. I've mentioned before that Slow does nothing on Shinryu, same applies for Aminon as Lute mentioned. Maybe something else I missed in there.
