    OP glossed over the major flaw of Hamlet Defense. That being that if you did not perform within ridiculously high parameters (you had to be in the top 10 contributors, if I recall), you got nothing. Unless you also suggest that aspect be removed, all you're asking is for trouble, OP.

    * 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)

    Your very right, I did forget about that. I wanted to highlight the "Good" aspects of the Defense rather than the negatives. I'm sure that they'd pull that flaw out to make things more balanced and even. "I think"

    Only if you wanted the seals for the relict quests.
    Everything else you got also without beeing in the top 10.
    Mage Hat as example you got in every run with a golden chest at the end.

    Optimal party setup for hamlet defence was 1 Tank, 2 Healers, 2 DoL and 3 DoH (with speedcraft skills).
    No DD, because the NPCs did the damage. With this setup you got the most points.

    Best in the point system was that it gave you extra points if the weapons/tools were broken ^^
    I bought a lv 1 hatchet and broke it to use it for hamlet
