[dev1102] So what is the Ultimate Spell for RDM?

[ShadowViper]

The job in concept doesn't and should not have a singular role, but instead have several roles to choose from given the job's versatility. The problem is that we can't openly choose our roles because of shoddy role distribution. You buff support and the melee side gets dumped on, you buff melee and the support side gets dumped on. Sure, my petty side says "well, they (support) had theirs for close to six years, now it's our (melee) turn", but in the spirit of fairness both sides should be getting some sort of improvement.
Considering RDM borrows from other jobs, this is not surprising nor a bad thing.
You want to take us back to where we were at lv75 instead of letting our job move forward. I get that it's easier to get invited as support, but we've already had to put up with that since the cap was 75. I don't want RDM to go back to what it was then.

Simple MMO mechanics when a job doesn't fit in a role because its too diverse its usually not used. Regardless of where they buff are ability if we dont have a role in the group we aren't going to get invited for most events.

Yes we were never the aoe crowd control but we should have been on the Magic side not blm, we are the enfeebling specialist NOT blm. SCH too borrows from both jobs yet is more desierable for more events than RDM. Why cause it role is truly to be back up to either sides and is the DOT specialist (dmg/healing). RDM is suppose to be the enfeebling and enhancing specialist yet all our enfeebs minus merits are capable of being done by other jobs and most our enhancing is self target only, even sch is beter in these areas because they are capable of AOE'n most the spells even thought it doesn't get them natively.

At 75 we were close enough to the main jobs we are "borrowing" from that we could help support and fill in those roles, now that lvs have increased that gap has gotten bigger and SCH has stayed closer to those jobs, which is where it should be. As for taking the job back to where the job was at 75 as a support then yeah, look at our main skills - enfeebling and enhancing - these are support skills not dd not healing yet again because we got so focused on "borrowing" from other jobs we have falling behind other jobs in both those areas because we don't get spells that show that we are the specialist for those fields.

Now that jobs and roles are being rebalanced we now have the chance to balance the job to whats already in game, we can't be main healers thats whms role, we can't be main nukers thats BLM, we are not dd and we are not tanks. So with the skill set that we have had from the beginning where is our role, back to enfeebler and enahcer who can help with healing/nuking/dd/tanking not replace them.
