If you only need one or the other... and one is better... the other is?????

Less effective? Which is not synonymous with "OMG don't play this job its so bad". I'm paraphrasing obviously... please don't make me go back and quote...

And if you're less effective at your role than a very readily available job on a server with 1700 people on it.......... the experience you might have while trying to get levels could charitably be described as????

You'll get there eventually. The experience of leveling WHM sucks. WHM, itself, doesn't suck. WHM in an exp party is some word between sucks and RDM... Which makes people just invite a RDM... which makes the experience of leveling WHM suck.

I don't know if you've been leveling recently but rdm's aren't falling from the sky as you proclaim. Obviously performing a search result at this very moment due to server reset will probably be a mixed bag but go ahead and search tonight periodically and see all these supposed rdms that are seeking nonstop. Sit around and wait for a rdm to pop or take the whm that might perform (in my opinion) slightly less effective than the rdm? I'll choose the whm.

Again, I understand your argument. Due to people picking rdm before picking whm will make it feel like you aren't getting invites and impact your experience leveling. The problem is this (yours and others) perception that whm is multiple orders of magnitude worse than rdm at the actual role in exp party, when it's not. It's a bad stigma that you are perpetuating and I think at this point your arguing for devils advocate purposes.

Notice how he talks in absolutes and making his statements as facts? Even if your experience

Yup, trolling. Got it.

RDM is better in exp than WHM 41-75 in 98%(+/-2%), fact. This is literally the only point I've been arguing this entire time.

WHM is better than no mage, also fact.
