i have gotten 4 merits into it atm and could put 1 more to finish RDM merits off but how much better(whats the difference in) is Phalanx 1 to Phalanx II and a full merited Phalanx II?
If I remember correctly, a fully meritted Phalanx II is equal to Phalanx I. Anything less than full merits is inferior. Phalanx II at 4/5 is 3 less damage reduced than Phalanx.
The only benefit you have right now as 4/5 is 30 second longer duration. At 5/5, you will have 1 minute longer duration, can cast on any person in the group, and will have the same damage reduction making it better except MP cost.
The question comes; is this better than the other options Red Mage has in Group 2 merits?
