Why is RDM invisible right now? Where is the outrage?

[Wayfinder3]

Sure, it's a fair complaint to have. Though, I don't agree that Red Mage is shallow at all, as from my perspective, it is every other jobs that have become convoluted. I am drawn to Red Mage because of how "shallow" it is. Similarly, and I'm sure I will be burned at the stake for saying this, but I had alot more fun with paladin before it started pretending to be a caster. To each their own.

quite. only a handful of jobs have become convoluted in my opinion. perhaps it's likely a matter of taste as i wouldn't exactly call a 5 gcd instant cast phase every minute, convoluted. it's very simple and isn't much different from using shield lob 5 times in a row every minute except it does magic damage. None of the tanks are all that convoluted and the only jobs i feel are teetering on that line too much are AST, NIN, MNK, and arguably SMN and MCH. everyone else is fine

red mage on the other hand is painfully straightforward to a fault. it really does boil down to BW BW melee repeat while using all your ogcds on CD and only a finite amount of depth to receive through manafication optimization.
