[Job Adjustmentｓ Manifesto] RDM

[Ketaru]

The Devs have stated quite clearly that they are looking into improving the group aspect of Red Mage, which consists of its Buffing and Debuffing prowess. That's an incredibly polite way of saying "No". I'm sorry if you just don't see that, or want to look for things that just aren't there. Who knows, you may get lucky.

I don't know what kind of update it is you think I actually want. The only thing I can give you is that I intend to use it, whatever form it may take.

I don't know what kind of update it is you think I actually want. The only thing I can give you is that I intend to use it, whatever form it may take.

I think you're under the impression that it matters to me one way or another what people want.

I addressed one single point, an important one for sure, but that point and that alone. I could care less what sort of update you want for Red Mage, or what other people want for it. You, and quite frankly some others as well, have simply asked that SE make a statement one way or another on what they want for Red Mage; Be it a pure Mage, or a Hybrid when they already have.

They have, straight up, said that Red Mage is a Mage class with specializations in Enhancing and Enfeebling. They have, straight up, said that they are not looking to improve Red Mage's swordplay, but those who are really into that sort of thing will probably benefit from the game-wide rework of pre-75 WS anyways.

I don't particularly care if you like it or not. But asking SE to put their foot down is ridiculous when they've made it abundantly clear that they absolutely do not want to make any sort of drastic adjustment to Red Mage's melee proficiency, and feel that they contribute much more to a group as a pure Caster.
