RIP RDM

[Sunrider]

I'm about as worried for GEO as for RDM, they're coming into a game where enfeebling opponents still isn't a preferred strategy over simple zerg rushes--they may well wind up languishing aside RDM.

As it is, I'm the introduction of yet more (and potentially more powerful) specialists has never meant well for hybrid classes. I just can't understand what the devs are playing at.

I'm not, they''re getting potent buffs which in itself could be reason enough to be invited.

Camate my worry is not that GEO will take RDM's place due to enfeebling not stacking. It is that the 2 magic fields RDM holds highest are its enhancing magic & its enfeebling magic, this is yet another job to do this job though. Also, RDM is getting no updates still, it seems as if these jobs have been taking away work that could have been done for RDM, and RDM is actually giving up its rule over enspells as being a job specific type of spell.

Can you also elaborate on how enfeebling magic is being thought to change? I am curious, because I see few ways this could be changed to directly enhance RDM while not enhancing WHM, BLM, and SCH's ability to enfeeble as well, and keep them as the real blocker from us being needed for such a thing.

In general, Camate, can you please at least give RDM's hope and tell us, are there any changes planed or even being considered for RDM directly? Or are we to place our hopes in the update to enfeebling magic which could easily benefit the other enfeeblers just as well?

The fact they said for RDM and other jobs is proof enough this'll be a much greater bonus for BLM, WHM and SCH than it ever will RDM.

Granting them more use in a party than RDM will ever have.
