My sentiments exactly. SE listening to people who probably only have RDM lvled, and got it to 90 in Abyssea and think the job should be competing with WARs and MNKs on the front lines.
I can't wait to see the first fool who comes to a VW run as RDM saying "but i got temper now bro" and starts attacking only to be floored within the first 20 seconds of the fight.
This is just utter nonsense. wars,mnks,sams,drgs,nins,drks who will wipe the floor with RDM's dps already have issues going up against a lot of these new VW NMs, and can be one shotted more often than not.
If anything SE is supporting a new generation of emo RDMs who are going to do nothing but whine about "but i got temper bro".
Take your temper and go solo Fafnir and Khim ... Bro.
What SE thinks RDM should be is pointless and bears no weight on how we play this game. What RDM actually is, is what the community determines it to be by finding a use for it.
RDMs had a spot on the front lines before they nerfed the hell out of their enmity generating spells.
The only use the community has for RDMs is as an enhancer/buffer/enfeebler. They've fallen behind sine the level cap rise and as a result are sidelined.
That could have been fixed and the job could have been given spells like SlowIII, ParalyzeIII, PhalanxIII, Haste2/Hastega, reflect, Demi... but instead we keep seeing them get spells that enhance their own pathetic dps.
if this generation of RDMs want to play a mage job that is a hybrid caster and damage dealer, go level BLU. Blu is an insane DD.
