[Job Adjustmentｓ Manifesto] RDM

[Economizer]

Rdms really should tell SE how badly RDM needs runic blade

I find it funny that the most powerful abilities that each job is clamoring for all come from the same FF title.

Prolly cauz #6 is still the best FF ever ^^

Wars need dw 2h weapons
mnks need buton combos to do WS.. so they will be less bored.
... this game needs mimic job...
screw blu.. give us gau...
Ninjas that can throw any weapons.
A class that can throw tarus to deal damage...
I could really go on and on...

FF6 had a BLU, it was the old man Strago.

Forgot to add confusion to the list of spells we wont ever see. It would be more of a hate reset. How fun would that be.. Oh you thought you were tanking PLDs but now the whm has it lol. But seriously it would be interisting aginst hate rest mobs and kite fight mobs to have a rdm ready to reset hate if the blms take hate or w/e.

Again this is considering how we will never see time mage =(

You don't even have to be in melee range for SS/Phalanx to be useful since they mitigate (at least some part of) any kind of damage, calling them melee oriented is silly.

[Supersun]

At the same time if you are back lining properly against most mobs you aren't getting hit.

If you are in melee range some level of AoE damage is usually inevitable and Rdm's defensive spells do help quite a bit with that.

So yes, while they are useful for both front and back, just because of the frequency of damage you will be taking in the front, defensive spells tend to be more useful there than in the back.

yes Strago is a blu but seriously.. who ever used him beyond the 1st event @ the fire house. Was always 2 characters to sit out and he was such a bench warmer.. Realm with fake mustache was much better and fun.

I liked Strago! He was one of the only characters that actually looked like he should be using magic, very old-school wizardy-looking guy. His blue magic was kind of lame compared to the other spells everyone else had access to through Magicite. I think the Magicite ruined everyone's unique abilities in FF6, since everyone can just learn Ultima and be done with it.

Your advocating a buff to pet jobs on a RDM update thread. While the idea isn't a bad one, and I do agree pet jobs need fixed, this is not the place to do so. And kindly GTFO with the strawman arguments. At no point in time did I EVER say enhancing was for melee only, I said it was critical for a melee build and that SE should pursue that route for potential melee buffs. Our enhancing spells are as follows,

Actually, I was proposing spells for RDM that are on-topic in the Job Adjustments Manifesto thread, because you know, the Manifesto did say RDMs would be "support specialists who excel at transforming their allies from mere mortals into demigods with their enhancements." How do you know I'm necessarily asking for this from the non-RDM perspective? Maybe I've duoed with friends that have pet jobs before and would love the opportunity to buff them as I would any NIN or WAR.

You can take your strawman BS somewhere else because, to begin with, it's not like I suggested something totally out of topic. In fact, one of the support jobs, COR, already has Rolls that hint at this kind of support, so it isn't as if I asked for something totally out in left field either.

Dont get me wrong, I got him all his spells every time I played through.. But yea his spells were kinda weak

lol yea but why ultima when you can 8hit everything for 9999 a hit lol

I had thought that before too.. Why can everyone use magic.. only tera and cells shoulda got them really
