To the devs!

Still doesn't mean we are going to get any unique function that can't be easily done by any other jobs. Enfeebling itself as a magic school has degraded because NMs no longer have a long TP/Auto attack phase like they used to. Slow, Blind, and Paralyze have all started to fall by the wayside. Just making Enfeebles stick or even make them have decent potency doesn't stop most NMs from TPing when they feel like it and hitting any member of your alliance because their accuracy is/and always will be capped. It's a multitude of problems that are wrong with Enfeebling, not just 1 or 2. If they want to adjust Enfeebling to actually do something in the future, then sure, we can swing some kind of debuffer job. But if we just get back what we used to have, no future in that. It's already outdated and that's the biggest issue. We haven't had real work done on our job but NMs have had plenty of work done on them, so we don't fit the current game model.

You want to play a RDM like it is 'supposed' to be played, go to dynamis. They still make sense there. But stacked up to aby NMs or VW NMs, RDMs are IMHO Trash.

Enhancing is a lesser problem that could be fixed by doing really basic non-inventive buffs. Update some formulas. Change the select-able targets for gain spells and temper and let us appreciate the overly lack luster set bonus that is our AF3.

We aren't in contention about how easy buffing would be to fix, but I really am very serious about what a CF Enfeebling would be to actually give us a fair shake at this game again. I started playing RDM at NA release because it offered debuffs and enspells. While the state of Enspells is pretty sorry as well, it's nothing compared to how wrong Enfeebling is currently.

Enfeebling is our ONLY A rank skill. It is what we should be specialized in and sought out for. It takes 2 RDMs to heal as well as a WHM. It takes 2 RDM to nuke as well as a BLM. It used to take a WHM and a BLM to cover the enfeebling ground as a RDM, but I hope we all know that /RDM on either of those jobs will do the trick as well as a RDM themselves. We aren't disagreeing on how wrong that is, but you just have to understand how much SE would have to push RDM past the other jobs' ability to enfeeble to make it fair. We aren't just talking about fixing the old spells, I'm talking about getting a small library of new enfeebles to counter the BS that is getting created for us to fight against.

All this talk about Balance is getting really old because I still see a couple completely unBalanced jobs that are staring me in the face and all that seems to get attention is the jobs that are already well off or have already been buffed recently. RDM needs more than just work on Enfeebling, Enhancing, and 2nd hand healing adjustments, but we haven't even gotten those yet. This waiting game was old @ 90. I don't really know why SE even included a RDM forum here because they haven't even used this platform to disseminate information.

Yeah, I agree if the gain line spell's and Temper were single target spell's that would probably make a lot of the RDM community happy. Tho I wouldn't go so far as to call our emp +2 set bonus lack luster. I would like to see some more bonus gear added to it. Piece's that added to our enhancing magic and the bonus at the same time would be great.
