It used to be more standardized. At one point it was pretty much "melee and tank 50% reduction, everything else 25% reduction." Then they started trying to micro-balance. As someone who plays a lot of RDM in Frontline, RDM takes way too little damage, by the way.

Perfect, exactly what you want to do. I think you've mentioned before about people Guarding MCH LB, but you're doing what they're doing: reacting quickly and correctly with something instant to mitigate, whether it's Guard, Snake Scales, RPR or SMN self-shield, RDM Forte, etc. It becomes second nature after a while.

You could always offer a listening ear, up to whatever you can tolerate. It won't necessarily fix your new friend, but it might change the dynamic to where you'll both get over the negative and focus more on the positive.

Hiding behind Forte so the better-looking of the two RDMs can be the focus.

Most of the folks I know (myself included) are happy to help newer players out and have an open door when it comes to giving advice.

RDM is mostly ranged in FL unless you're catching someone out with your melee combo, and from there it's just a combination of positional awareness, good escape mobility with Displacement, and the moderate innate damage reduction of RDM (which did not need to be buffed).

Sort of, on Balmung, mostly focusing on work right now, but you can /search and ping me if you'd like. But read this first:

...this is like 99% of what I would tell you anyway, along with the index ticker I mentioned earlier in this thread which has been slightly better than many other index funds for a long time. Unless you portion a huge chunk of your free time for investment research, you're going to be hard pressed to beat this approach.

The DRG and I were mindlinked on the fact that the point was still going to be crowded after SGE LB dropped :')
