Unlike before, where it was just a lazy and half-baked hackjob ("let's recycle WHM and BLM into one single character") with permanent back-and-forths in design (In some part, they had Dualcast, in some not), in visuals (the typical red-clad person with the plumed tricorne or .. whatever XI's supposed to look like) and sometimes totally vanishing even (how many FF parts skipped RDM?).

 No, what I love about Red Mage in XIV in the current state: It's like a Rubic's Cube. No matter how I turn it, it all makes sense. There are weaknesses that have a proper compensation. Or strengths that have compensation weaknesses? See, it's perfect.



Right now, I hope they do not touch RDM at all. No buffs, no removals, no nerfs.





I fell two times into an "identity crisis" as Scholar though. Right now, I still have an open thread in the healer section because I could not believe if it's me or the profession that suddenly changed. I got over that finally and enjoy to be your bespectacled Lalafell healer. However, the reason which led to my "Scholar midlife crisis" are there. I could fix the issues on my side, but still, Scholar is, unlike RDM, unfinished.





You can see that cluelessness with the worst jobquest line ever. "Tomberry staring into a lake" for 15 quests straight. It's like a high school student wrote those as homework.

No need to talk about the DPS spells. "Art of War"? You mean the purple "Marylin Monroe Air Gust" (TM). A trashy DoT that lasts too short IMO - very annoying to babysit. Ugh.

Must you bold and font change every single post you make? Do you think it makes your posts extra special or something?
