    Divine Might would have worked better as a mimic to Four Horsemen in Naxxrammas (which required two melee tanks and two ranged tanks). Instead, DM is AoE spam fest with a ton of damage floating around (mostly because of the TP system being universal instead of only limited to player characters), with next to no way to control damage taken aside from abusing emnity mechanics (AKA the super tank method). A guy in plate armor kiting the archangels around while the others are picking them off one by one is not exactly epic.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

Best fight in FFXI that illustrates this point? Moblin fight. Definitely one of the most exciting fights, right after Airship.
    I would say Divine Might was pretty epic as well, considering you couldn't sleep the Ark Angels, and the fact that it was difficult to win that fight without wiping at least once. At least for the tank anyway.
