So..Lets talk jobs?

[AlwaysNu]

As it stands now anyone playing a DoM is a RDM, so if SE implements RDM as a job it is going to have to give it a specific role or gimmick. If BLM is going to be a range nuker/debuff and WHM is going to be a range healer/buff, having RDM with mix of both probably wouldn't work out too well.

Since we want a melee RDM so bad, they could make RDM a melee attacker/debuff by giving them aoe saber/en-element spells that can applied to all melee attackers. These spells could give each attack a slight elemental bonus, absorb hp/mp, or have a chance to enfeeble, etc. Each individual attack isn't as strong as a cure spell or nuke, but cast on enough people the numbers could add up. In terms of party dynamics the RDM would not be as good as a regular attacker in terms of dps, but they bring to the table some decent buff/debuffs that could play nicely with BLM and WHM spells.
