to be fair, that pissed us all off THEN to... or me anyway <.<. rolling thunder is terrible enough to stay under the radar.

I've finally thought of the right disturbing metaphor for this situation!

Let's say a couple starts with one child. They neither love nor hate this child, they mostly ignore him and leave him to starve in a large cardboard box which slowly fills with his own filth.

Later, the couple has another child. Just a baby, right now. Another boy. Right now, they're feeding that child and showing it love. They must have loved the first child once.

Stuff happens and the first child dies of dehydration.

The second child has nothing to do with the first child's death. The first child's neglect is not a result of the second child's care. However, seeing that tiny thing all wrapped up and happy definitely hurts the first child on an emotional level. As the first child collapses into a cold and watery puddle of his own feces, I wouldn't be surprised if he gurgles, "I hope I get to haunt that little monster."

On a purely logical level, I think a lot of people know that all three jobs could live happily together like three hermaphroditic polygamists in kinda-gross union if all three jobs end up actually filling needed roles and being fun to play and not sucking horribly and stuff.

On a more emotional level, that might not matter. Stuff sucks for Red Mage right now and both new jobs seem vaguely similar to Red Mage on paper. That makes the suck, well, feel suckier. Basic suckology!

well this is practically science, so far be it for me to digress... but as a melee rdm i feel like i was actually allowed to GROW UP in the shitbox, subsisting on buckets of raw fish heads for years. until mommy and daddy finally look upon me, only to kick me in my recently dropped balls >.>



all that being said, i'm actually curious to play rune fencer... except that it's a tank.

This would explain why Temper was okay enough for what it was meant to do, compared to significantly more horrid stuff like Scarlet Delirium or Run Wild added during the same period.

Temper was added to give hope to Red Mages who want to hit things with their things. To give them hope because it is impossible to take away something you have never given.

Or, to keep with the really gross metaphors, it was added because even the Development Bros know nothing hurts more than a critical hit to the protuberance.
