I would pick Elvaan because they have insane MND for rdm, and good HP stat too if you ever play pld.
Elvaan for RDM? Is that serious? O.o Does RDM not need INT or MP? Less INT than even Galka, almost 20 int less than Tarus and a 2nd smallest MP pool.
Serious question, not being sarcastic.
Yes. RDM doesn't need max int. They don't nuke (macc is broken here anyway) and I'm not sure if max dint for blind is a thing people really do. MP doesn't *really* matter because when you use it, it's gone. mp recovery (i.e. refresh) is what matters. max dmnd for para2/slow2 is awesome.
Bind, blind, sleep, and gravity would like a word with you. Setting aside that I've dropped 800 damage thunder/Blizzard III on IT++ things, in endgame content we're usually there for added CC more than spot heals. And MP pool matters, the longer you can stretch it before you need to convert the better.
That said, I know a Galka red mage that blows most Tarus out of the water. Dude's a monster. And living proof base stats can be compensated for with gear and merits. It just might be a bit tougher to get there.
