I DON'T like Stormblood RDM

[Naryoril]

Glad to hear you main sch and RDM. So why do you want to play RDM like a healer, when you main an actual healer?

Nobody says they want to play RDM like a healer, but the red mage undeniably has some healing characteristics. Heck, by FF definition, it is a mixture between white and black mage. And yes, my main is healer (WHM), and yes, i like to play different stuff from time to time. I think it's nice to be a DPS who can pitch in with healing duty if needed. I could also say: Why don't you play black mage if you want red mage to be like a black mage? If you want pure DPS, you have 8 classes to choose from. If you want a hybrid, there is only the one choice. And now there are people who say "i don't want a hybrid, so make the hybrid into a pure dps. Screw those who want the hybrid because i don't want to change class even though i don't like it, i want the class to change". Isn't that pretty selfish?

just so you're aware, they don't have a problem with RDM having healer utility. they and most RDMs have a problem with job going inherently dps negative to use what should be half of it's identity
