Red Mage - A DoM Tank Job?

[GalkaBikini]

The defining aspects of RDM are not its being a generalist, but the fact that it's a sword & magic hybrid. Doublecast doesn't make a RDM. Enfeebles don't make a RDM. Refresh and Haste don't make a RDM. Sword, black magic and white magic rolled into one are what make a RDM.

How many times does it have to be said? RDM is a hybrid white and black magic user, who CAN do very mediocre melee damage. Where, in all of that, is a class that can do 5% less melee damage than that of a real melee DPS class?

And LOL, have fun healing yourself for 2K on your ret pally when things do 10 times that amount of damage. I'm starting to wonder if you even actually play video games, honestly.
