well for some specifics the fight would be lvl 60 cap or uncapped both lvl 65. RDM/NIN and DRK/THF would be the jobs.

most people i've talked to said that if a 65RDM/BLM(or RDM/NIN) and a 65DRK/THF were to fight, the RDM would win easyly
i've seen it happen as well, the RDM casted stoneskin, blink, and phalax[sp?]....the RDK was 1/3 of the way dead before the RDM even got any damage done to him

Fury Angel Noji It go go either way depending on the level cap. If you go to like a lv 30 or 40 Cap match, i'd say a DRK would win hands down, even if rdm used Nin subjob. But if you go to the higher caps, I'd say then RDM would have a chance of winning. Yes RDM nuking abilities arnt very good and their melee sucks. But their debuffs can make a difference. Also at the higher level Refresh will keep their Mp up. But at the lower levels RDM doesnt have as many spells so drk could win out. DRK use Great swords and Scythes. Slow and paralyze can make the drks miss alot. With big dleays, they wouldnt be hitting much. to stop drk from casting rdm would have silence. Of corse there are items both drk and rdm can use wich could easily have to make the other person change tactics. RDM melee might be lackiong but so does a DRK's defence. Yet since RDM is a mage their defence is on the low side too. But just what spells and abitlites one have doesnt mean they will automaticly win. It also depends on the players skill with playing. Of corse this is my opinion and some things might be flawed or wrong since i've bearly have been in any balistas. But i felt I should at least share my opinion. Great points, but in reality, just the opposite happens. RDMs at 30 are weak. Period. With the lack of good buffs/debuffs, a good weapon, good armour, and good healing, the DRK would win unless the DRK didn't know how to play. Once you hit 40 Cap, things change a bit more. Phalanx + Stoneskin is not a bad combo, as DRK weapons don't hit as often or as hard as in later levels. Debuffing sticks better now. 50 things even out. See my tactics post. Once you hit 60 ballista, everyone is in full AF. The DMG on RDM is not too bad with dual Wise Wiz's, but the defence on a DRK greatly defeats that of a RDM by now. The weapons used eat away at stoneskin, and your only hope is having the MP to outlast the DRK. Once at 75, DRKs can take out stoneskin in one hit, the Weaponskills do massive damage, and RDMs usually can't keep up. Only hopes here are to Bio/blind/slow/para/rasp like i said, i've bearly been in any ballista so i dont know exactly how things work out, heh. (wize Wiz swords, yuk. too fat for my tastes. I prefer my trusty Royal Guard's Fleurets.)

ok, I have never been up against a drk so I can't say I know what its like. But I did a no cap ballista with my 61 rdm and killed a 75 pld and a 75 nin. As far as the drks amazing damage goes, I used stoneskin, protect III, and phalanx and was put to sleep by the opposing forces. The 75 pld, the 75 nin, a 75 rng, and some other job I didn't get to check came up and beat on me for around a solid minute before stoneskin finnally wore off for me to wake up. I couldn't stop laughing even though I knew I would die as soon as it wore off. I think if rdm keep their buffs up then they can take a drk down, but like I said, I have never tried it.

Wow I totally missed your post. Depends on tactics. If RDM is going to use utsusemi, drk NEEDS a faster weapon to switch to. If RDM plans on using buffs more and spellcasting, the RDM better have macros for buffs pre-set to minimize casting time. DRK hits for 150+ EASILY. Stoneskin is paper in later levels against DDs.
