    On topically, in a general opinion to express... I have to agree with what someone else said. DRG has been treated as the laughing stock for a long time - including by the devs with the fun 8-bit version of Titan HM. I think it's a nice return in exchange.

    Titan didn't give the short straw to DRG by a long shot, it's much rougher for a caster. Tank just has to stand there and manage mitigation, bard loses minimal dps running around. MNK and DRG lose a little from positionals due to stacking, but casters have a much more intense fight with most of the spells having cast times.

    Save for landslide, which isn't that bad, as long as a caster knows the fight they will know when they can cast and sail their way through the fight.

    Here's the Titan relationship chart:

    * 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)
