RDM feels incredibly meh...

I'm not the only one that feels like this, right? SAM impressed right out the gate, but so far I haven't gotten the same oomph and flair from RDM... anyone else feels disappointed in this job like I do?

My buddies playing RDM at the moment are super impressed.

I've been playing it most of the day and I am absolutely loving it so far.

I am impressed by RDM more than SAM.

I am much more impressed with RDM than SAM.

*Zooms pass on a Corps-a-Corps Line towards a random mob*

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~~~

While I haven't put much time into SAM beyond the opening quest, I am quite enjoying RDM so far. Which itself is enough of an oddity to me, as I usually quite dislike casters.

Idk I played it this morning and I loved it. It feels so clean and flashy. And I like the skill it requires to pay attention to your procs and manipulate them to optimize your DPs. I've been pretty impressed with it and might switch my main

Got it at 70 yet? Nah

i'm really digging the rhythm the class has.

I'm in love with red mage actually.

It doesn't change much from 60 to 70. Jolt gets a slight upgrade and you add Holy/Flare to your finisher

i think the general consensus right now is it's only you.

i'll like redmage alot more once i figure out how to play it properly

yea its actually quite fun to play!

didnt intend to touch it for a while cos i wanted to get my other classes to 70 first...but due to the circumstances.....yeah. But I really like it.

There will always be people who will feel something isn't great while others do. I love it, it's a fun class. It will be my main dps class.

Gotta get the Weiss Schnee on the go. \o/


+1 for RDM
Life would be boring if we all liked the same thing. Different strokes and all that. :)

Loving RDM first time I've put BLM and DRK to one side to play another job.

I dunno, I've been trying RDM, and it just doesn't feel satisfying to play. Kaiten'd Midare feels suitably awesome, while an RDM just doesn't really impress me. :x Feels like empty spectacle without substance to me so far, anyway.

rdm looks interesting

just looking at samurais ability list makes my head hurt

I like the class within itself.

I just don't like that it's called rdm.

The "white magic" is for the most part just whm nuke spells... that should have been blm spells to begin with but they gave it to whm (areo).

Wish it was a true balance of the blm mind set and whm... where nuking and buff/healing caused the balance instead.

Yes they have raise and a small heal... but so does smn but I don't think anyone would consider smn a rdm

I don't think most people even consider SMN a SMN at this point.

I am enjoying it immensely if I can stay logged in long enough to actually play it. lolz

Aero has been white magic since as early as FF3.

I'm more referring to the constant changes from 1.0 where they only gave blm half the elements as they used to... (granted originally thm wasn't the elemental class... just all screwy)

Weiss is quite honestly one of the driving force of me liking the class and you are exactly right ♥

I played a bit this morning was loving it. Have not touched SAM yet so can't compare but I really like RDM

OP is the most wrong person in the history of wrongness.

Ya right now people are learning that RDM is more fun than SAM gameplay wise.

Most players started SAM first because of Sword DPS Job, Katanas, and/or etc and had little expectations for RDM in the start.

For now the Red Mage and Samurai jumpers will be adjusting itself now as players realize their prefered gameplay style.

I've enjoyed the small amount I managed to play before I got d/ced from Balmung. I'll probably enjoy more of it when I can transfer to Mateus tonight.

is fun , but not fun as hell ...is "ok" , lvl 55 only , cant wait to get my hands on verflare / verholy for more awesomeness

the animations are cool , veraero is a bit weak , and verfire could be more explosive , but verthunder (sith lord) and verstone are good

I'm liking RDM. Did a dungeon and trial last night with RDM and they went great.

AoE is a little boring until you get Moulinet (just spam Scatter), but single target damage is fun

I'm still trying to figure it all out but it feels a lot better to me than what the did to Summoner.
