Red Mage - A DoM Tank Job?

[Kuwagami]

OP

Wants so desperately RDM in the game that they would prefer it totally ripped of its spirit than not present in a game not made for it



If there is a mage tank one day, look in the direction of rune fencer or templar. Mystic knight too. Not Red mage.

Ashelia Dalmasca was considered a red mage under the "correct" build in ff12 according to their own ff wiki sources

Ashe is a way better samurai than RDM.... also, "correct build" ? Since when is there a correct build in a game where you can build your team as you like ?

been waiting for musketeer for almost 4 years...

They already said musketeer won't come. It's a relic of the past, it's time to move on.

just so you know, the gunner (Fan Fest in London, 007 shirt) has been hinted, and the healer in 3.0 has been hinted to come from Final Fantasy Tactics. A bet people made 6 month ago is going to become true : the gunner has high chances to be the chemist.


@GalkaBikini
If you think that the RDM is a mage with better melee power than the others, you're missing the entire point of the job. It's supposed to be the fighting mage by essence. Good at both melee and magic, with nukes in both domains (even though both will remain inferior compared to "true" jobs like DRG or BLM).
