Red Mage

if DRK is anything to go by you might want to brace yourself come 4.0..... New Healer - Red Mage, look forward to it :-D

If RDM becomes healer only I will be 1,000 times more disappointed than I have ever been in SE before. Please do not say such things. D:

RDM could make a very solid healer. Think about how WHM has cleric stance to switch between heals & DPS. RDM could have a melee version of the same thing. They could also have the normal Cleric stance for ranged magic too. This would arguably be the most classic implementation of RDM since all 3 features of RDM (heals, magic, melee) can all be reasonably represented and useful to the class.

It's not about RDM being a solid healer I have an issue with, but if that is its ONLY role I will NOT be playing my favorite job of all time. WHM is my least favorite job in FFXIV so I'd like it to not be exactly that but just at melee range.
