Enfeebs on xp mobs is moot. If you need to cast anything other than dia, you need to get better dds (tank incl). Its not a high bar to tp burn mobs to death (proper nq tp and ws gear with food is a thing). If you need to save mp, just cast dia1 instead of 2.
I tried my very best to balance my advice out between the extremes of Meripo xp on Nasomi, and new players that might not be in perfect parties, which the OP sounded like he might be... possibly being new to the game and/or new to the job. I am well aware of the rampant elitism on Nasomi, and as such am not surprised in any way by the response to my post, but I never intended to speak to your experiences in game, I intended to give helpful tips to a newer player while also giving plenty of caveats to how things might change as one approaches endgame.
The hard truth that you probably won't admit, just judging on the tone of your reply, is that a new player might be in a sub-optimal party and not even realize it. An experienced player might suffer a sub-optimal party for cruddy xp, because they are on a lesser sought job like BLU, THF, PUP, etc. They might see the recent population dip (especially at night it has even gone below 500 players online and Sync Range has shot up past 10), and are adamant about getting any xp possible and are willing to put up with things you personally would not put up with.
Your advice, quite honestly, is meaningless in many situations, especially those that play off-times like EU hours, and super late nite when there are not "better dds (tank incl)" online to choose from. Hopefully the OP can scan the posts/replies and choose for himself which advice seems to help out his experience on RDM, and I won't waste any more time past this in response to fairytale claims that every pt is so perfect that the RDM can just cast Dia and nothing else. I know I won't convince you anyways, so wasted breath stops here.
In reply to Operationfail: Your advice about casting Para 1st is valid, I have done so as well in the past, and I can see the argument either way for which to cast first. Thanks for the additional advice.
