    Quite frankly, I can see why they got rid of Holy Succor. With the introductions of more Cure Tiers, Cure I suffers greatly once you start getting past 20, and with Riot Blade you're MP is more or less infinite which gives PLD a bit too much of an edge especially in solo content if they had a decent cure to their name. Since they also got rid of bonus modifier stats MND/Cure Pot gear would have severely limited uses especially just having it for just Holy Succor so either you hurt your DPS/Enmity Generation or your Holy Succor would end up lacking power.

    Although, I don't see why they couldn't give PLD a type of healing ability that's power is based off of VIT, STR, HP, or Defense, give it a 1-2 minute timer and have it consume between 50-200 mp to restrict spammage.

    As a compromise to the 5 job specific abilities limit they can combine Sword/Shield oath into one ability as a rotating stance such as Sword > Shield > Off.

    That would make things very "clunky", for lack of a better word..

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
