Square gives jobs things to make them more rounded at times, even if they dont make sense, the difference, is while this doesnt help YOUR party setting, its by FAR more useful than some blunders they have been guilty of. So quickly we forget shield mastery with our D,E,F defensive ratings. But i guess you prefer the willy wonka approach, rather than being thankful you got another nuke, and possibly more traits, and the recent buff to fastcast, you all just see this as getting nothing. So it makes me happy to say it this way. "ITS ALL THERE, BLACK AND WHITE, CLEAR AS CRYSTAL! YOU GET NOTHING, YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY SIR!"

Now that we can get over the crying, im going to say this. You get nothing aside from a new nuke and an extra raise. However your ability to play a mage rdm has not been altered in any way, because as you all say, you dont want to melee anyway, and this did not take anything out of the mage side to implement. Its a waste of mp to cast? waste of gil to buy? Heres a thought, dont buy it, dont cast it, and certainly dont complain that they had atleast the thought to give you a gift and to not retire your job or its functions as you like. You kind of people are the ones that complain at getting a gift-card for your birthday, well we all would like money, its the thought that counts. They saw some of the community unhappy, felt it was a justified desire, and improved it, now granted now, other memebrs of the RDM community is unhappy, but not everyone is unhappy. Honestly all i got to say is if you want to be a buff job, go bard, and if this is the changeover to start the reign of rdm melee glory, then allow me to be the first to say it in anticipation, its been a long time coming and i know a lot of the pro-melee croud want to say it, but im saying it now.

Shut up, nobody cares if you want to mage better, its been a long time since redmage got anything mage related for content, clearly they dont care about your woes, and you should just go level another job and leave us to play our job right.

That felt good, that may not be the case right now, but with substituting of mage for melee, its something ive heard too many times, how does it make you feel to read that line? well you are mad now so im betting it pissed you off. Let it sit quietly and fester a few years, they said you can buff, but you cant do that, they gave you access to enhancing gear and nothing to use it on, you should throw out that gear and level brd or cor.

All im doing is treating the anti-melee croud the way we have been treated for years, how about you take that promise to be a buffer, like we took the promise that we would be able to use our swords, and sit on it, wait a few years, maybe then they will chose to acknowledge you. Rant over.
