Level 99 - Trial of the Citadel

[tyrantsyn]

SCH with Composure = RDM Death.

Is it not dead already? Some tend to think so, seems to me no ones ever happy with it. And there's some great idea's out there on how to improve it "some that I've seen from you". The rdm community is about as divided as they come tho and it's hard to tell if the job will ever be what every one wants from it.

Composure was never a reason to choose RDM over any class for PT activity anyways. Extended buffs only affects your mage becomes. It seems WHM is sufficient in this era and that all other healers lack the same potential. The benefit, given these facts, is not going to change the balance of power.

Level 100 please

[noodles355]

Being a Rng, Drg and Rdm (among other jobs), playing and loving all three jobs I will say:

I have no trouble whatsoever with other jobs getting composure if I can get Super Jump on Ranger.

100 all the way.

All I ask is that if the cap does end up being 100, that our level is shown as "★★" if we're at the cap.

This so much. THF★★/NIN50.

100

keep composure rdm only so the job is not completely outclassed on every level..
(also to shut up rdm whiners)

RNG★★/DRG50 yes please

[Arcalimo]

easy.
100, so you can give the final blow to rdms by giving composure to everyone... and so you can add a new HNM that spams level 5 death in brazalets mode

To be honest, I really don't see why Composure would be so broken/powerful/destructive as a subbable ability. Anyone feel like enlightening me?

It's not dead, but SE devs have been systematically destroying any need for the job. Almost everything that RDMs considered their own has been given to others. All we got left is a few merit spells that were deemed too powerfull for RDM to unlock them all, and Composure. RDM-unique Addle was given to WHM for some mind-boggling reason...

So it's simply getting to the point where I could care less if SE takes away the last piece of uniqueness of the job. Let the other jobs have their cake AND eat it, I'm storing my chapeau on my mannequin and go PUP full time.

I think the combination of abilities between the wide range of jobs and subjobs is one of the best aspects of this game. I would be in favor of having level 100 be the cap instead of level 99.

The level 50 abilities and traits on a support job would offer more interesting combinations. This is exactly why I was so excited when the level cap up from 75 was announced. "Yay! what subjob combinations will be possible now? I can't wait to try it out!"

It's not. People are just bringing up random things to bitch about. Composure isn't gonna make any job more powerful, and it's not gonna make RDM any more or less desired. It's a non-issue. Stratagems (and possibly a new Store TP tier) are the only things even worth mentioning at Lv50. And possibly Elemental Siphon from /SMN, but who goes /SMN these days, unless maybe some very special circumstances.
