Ain't that the truth. Thanks SE, Really!

Due to this, we do not currently have any plans of allowing jobs other than white mage to use Cure V.

... BLU,pup,smn >.<

It's kinda sad that the alternative solutions have been stated over and over again. But because people have their heads so solidified that they want to be pink mages (or other people won't see any use in them unless they are pink mages) that they've refused to listen to it.

So glad I'm done with this.

Red Mage was a princess job for longer than any other job in this game. Welcome to the other 15 jobs. I didn't see any Red Mages caring about white mages in the ToAU era. SE knows if red mage got Cure 5 it would go back to red mage only like it was at 75. Good job SE. It was the right choice.

Actually it isn't welcome to the 15 others. It's welcome to one other... WHM.

PS. Did anyone ever really care for a mule job like WHM, they don't really now.

It's nice to know people still delude themselves into thinking the game is exactly like it was in the TaU era.

They're going on old-game mechanics, where RDM was a capable healer over WHM due to Convert, Refresh and only taking one slot as opposed to needing a RDM, BRD or COR with the WHM.

Those times are dead and WHM's MP issues are mostly to completely gone.

Don't be dishonest. Back in the old Cure V thread the numbers were done, the only thing separating RDM/SCH from WHM is Cure V and stona, and SCH/RDM gets stona. After that there is no reason to bring a WHM over one of those other two, all three would have the same healing potential while the RDM and SCH would have more utility. This is a failure of SE to set the mage class's apart from each other or make healing magic skill actually mean something.

Just about every single "give me cure V" person is angling to be desired as a main healer, by definition that means replacing White Mage. White Mage was better then Red Mage at healing in the past, that didn't stop people from going with a Red Mage, especially in the non-tank parties.

I go RDM to nearly every event <.<
Although if we're doing Abyssea then I might have to change to WAR if we're lacking one.

You just gotta stop thinking RDM = Cure IV Haste Refresh

That thinking is like a disease that's been spread around FFXI since 2004. Have you people actually tried being a non-pink mage?

I can show up for every event pup/bst. that doesn't mean its a good idea. It just means that I found someone who will put up with it.

i think rdm should really get cure5 by 99, because everyone else will have cure4 while using rdm sub job. it isn't fair that almost everything rdm is good for can be gained from using it as a sub. before, cure4 was the main cure spell and cure5 was kinda overkill. now cure6 is kinda overkill, so why don't they make cure5 the regular cure spell? :/ and didn't rdm actually have access to cure5 at 75 when the game was new? i have an old guide that says it did. if it was originally considered at 75, i don't know why it would be out of the question at 99.
