3 things I found interesting in part 3 of the scholar manifesto that could easily be dual intended for Rdm as well
Make it possible to use Cure V.Looks like they might actually be considering alternative methods for curing besides the derp curebomb. Looks like Scholars may be getting more powerful regen spells. Wonder if they have another type of cure for Rdm as wellIn regards to support capability, we’re thinking more in the direction of adjustments that will differ from white mage.
Instead of just simply adding a high-tier Cure, we’re looking into making it so scholars can raise their performance further by enhancing the effects of stratagem use and regen-type magic. However, this doesn’t mean that we won’t be adding a high-tier Cure later down the line.
Add spells that decrease an enemy’s evasion and TP gain.I'd be VERY surprised if Scholar got this "higher tier Gravity" and Rdm didn't (or if cholar got it at all), and I can only hope that "subtle blow" spell is also our solution to actually enfeebling a monsters TP attacks.We are planning to add a higher tier Gravity as a spell to reduce an enemy’s evasion. We will also be looking into spells that give the effect of subtle blow.
Add sphere-type spells.For sphere effects, there would be no way of handling the opposite enfeebling effects, such as Slow versus Haste effects. This makes it an extremely powerful spell, so from a balance perspective it will not be easy to do.
Well that's somewhat understandable though you'd think that they could just make the "haste" have a natural low priority where it would get overridden by ALL forms of slow and it can't apply itself with any form of slow effect on.
