Soliloquy, The final RDM job ability.

[Duelle]

The only reason I don't agree with you is that I think SCH should be it's own class. It stops me from ever thinking I should be a back line mage. If i wanted to be a casting RDM from the back row, I would play SCH. I really do believe that everyone should have their own class that is just tons of fun to play. I'm not going to take anything away from another class.

I'm not sure I follow. SCH is more casting-focused than RDM. What I was saying is that say, we have the following JA given to Red Mage:

Combat Caster: Your next cast elemental spell can be used to open a skillchain.

And had the following mechanics attached to it:

- Doubles casting speed for the elemental spell in question
- Reduces casting range down to 5 yalms (trying to cast an elemental spell outside of this range would give you the "Target is too far away" message)

It stops being a ranged caster JA and becomes something along the lines of what you'd use in the front lines.

As merton put so well, a lot of things that are in line with RDM were given to other classes, leaving us utterly stagnant. If anything, I'd say other classes took lots of things that made sense for RDM. That trend needs to stop.
