The theme/lore/history of Red Mage is a hybrid white and black mage, the gameplay and implementation is DPS that has been cursed with Raise dispensing and an okayish recovery tool in Vercure.

Oh no I agree, Embolden isn't anything special. Personally I think RDM needs some tuning to feel more rewarding with their personal DPS and also that they bring more to the party other than Raise...

I'm going to chime in here and say buffing Raidwide DPS would not be a great idea, really the only tool Red Mage has for it is Embolden unless they tweak some other ability to add a debuff of some...

Maybe be a little less prickly about it. Nowhere did I say lore should take a backseat, the fact that people don't enjoy playing a game designed for entertainment is arguably more important than...

No it's not, they just aren't affected nearly as much as an any other caster since they have built in MP recovery and MP is no longer relevant to Summoners damage. It has 66% less cost to DPS...

Summoner has Resurrection because of a coding fluke, it'd be entirely justified to remove it. Not to mention Summoner is now top DPS without counting their rDPS contribution and they now have very...

Please stop espousing the high utility RDM thing, nobody wants Embolden to be the easy version of Trick Attack which means NIN and RDM get cemented into comps which isn't healthy for game balance and...

Well to be fair, if Black Mages get all the non Raise fixes they wanted (and/or more) would they even want a Raise at that point? I'm not particularly against it as I've reached the point where I...

They have a lot of stuff in PvP that alleviates those issues and I have no idea why they don't adapt it to PvE, and not just for BLM either.

Honestly at this point, based mostly on forum feedback a lot of RDMs don't even want to rez dispense anymore, at least from what I've seen anyway. Slap a 30 second cooldown on it, but still let it be...

If he cares so much about being an asset to his team, he's starkly reacting the wrong way. If your whole emphasis is on clearing the content and being as useful as possible you shouldn't be caring...

To be fair Kabooa, Llugen consistently calls anyone on lack of imagination, despite their reasons

Stop using lol caster role as your argument. Each class in each role is incredibly unique. Nothing about bard is similar to machinist aside from increasing party damage. Ninja has 0 similarity to...

We can see what you think is the issue, but you think every lore or gameplay issue that BLM raise causes can just be brushed aside (note retcon has never been popular) , not to mention the numerous...

Oh wow did I make it off the ignore list? Amazing. I mean the only thing he really called unintelligent was your feedback, not you personally. And are you seriously going to call someone on...

He doesn't get the concept of people understanding and plainly disagreeing with his arguments/proposals etc.

Remember when RDM's were the ones who needed to just get over it? And all we wanted was small potency and support buffs.

The thread was about all three casters at one point, until page 14. Still in the "Raise is the problem, not the solution" crowd though. Seeing as throwing bodies at bosses is a viable tactic Raise...

Well I mean there's a very strict definition of what exactly Black Magic is in the FF universe and it's pretty much all about blowing it up with offensive elemental magic with a few instant death...

I wholeheartedly agree with you about Raise. This is the only MMO i've ever played where you can just potentially one shot a pull just because you can force yourself through the whole encounter with...

I'd agree more if there was more than just 1 source of magic down debuff. I don't agree with perma magic vuln either since as you said it's pretty much baseline class damage. Like 5 or 10% (Ideally...

Defensive utility loses a large amount in clear parties too tbh. And the instant/timed cooldown thing would still be rather interruptive, oGCD or not since oGCDs are only really beneficial when you...

You could make the argument that balance wise BLM wouldn't want it since the BLM rotation is tight enough as it is. Plus defensive utility is the worst kind of utility, it always has a timer on...

"Lore must give way to balance" "RDM can't have any buffs in their damage because of their lore" Top keks.

This page was quite enjoyable to read.
