Regardless, I doubt Temper took too many man hours to create, nor did tweaking Raise II or Thunder IV. There's also 96-99 and whatever the new merit system will yield. Throw out your ideas if you're so afraid of not being heard, not just sit here and call people you disagree with names.
I blame the mentality. Yes RDMs can use swords. So what DRKs get elemental magic. If there was a 130 page thread of 15 DRKs who want to nuke more and it resulted in DRKs getting a new JA that increases MAB but lowers Attack you would be seeing a mirror image of this thread in the DRK forums. RDM isn't now never was and never will be a front line job anywhere but lol situations like abyssea exp and magian trials just like DRK will never be a back line nuker. This spell may have taken the place of a new enfeeble or something that actually gets RDMs invited to parties over a level 70 WHM. Maybe not idk. Maybe SE had this planned for months but I somehow doubt that. 9/10 people with RDM leveled didn't level it with any intention of ever trying to do damage but we are stuck with a DD RDM spell thanks to a vocal minority or maybe just bad development on SEs part. Who knows, either way it's a disappointment to most of us.
