What job can you just not click with?

]The Final Fantasy XIV approach to Red Mage is the first real one, and it hit right in the mark. While a Red Mage in itself is a profession that gets my heartbeat faster, in this game it's a blast. As if someone designed a profession around my heart and soul. And they took much effort not to be just a hackjob of BLM and WHM for the first time. It's like RDM grew up. They stepped up their arcane studies, dropped the chains of being "BLM and WHM Lite pseudo-versions": Each skill is fine-tuned and available in a Red Magic variant: Ver(skillname). And with the need of casting Black and White Magic - of course - we have a little, lore-compatible profession mechanic: Charging up our crystal that in return charges up our blades. [/FONT][/SIZE]

Our combat is that of a mage - but to reach our full potential, we need our swords, too. Currently, by potency, it is this:

Why choose between either when you can have both in one?

We Red Mages can:
* Choose if we want to go into melee and thus have a safe and mobile gameplay
* We can dish out massive pain with our swords in rapid succession - especially when we crit several times
* Dualcast! Instant casting of another spell! (-> Mobility!)
* Viable Combat Healer (1x Vercure ~ 20% of my health; Dualcast: 40%!) + Resurrection
* Gapcloser and Gap..creator...
* Swordfight and Magic are both well-done and nice to look at (especially frame by frame)
* We are pretty mobile for casters!
* Best artifact armor (Lvl 70 Duelist attire that is). Even TV Tropes figured it out by mentioning our hat

So, why would I want anything else?


But still, I am glad all the Bards, Gunbreakers, and White Mages are around. You do matter, and I need you!
But still everytime I realize how much I love RDM when I see your gameplay..

Sincerely,

If you're failing at so many jobs, it might not be because everything else sucks, but rather user-error on your part.
