RDM/NIN was hardly creative or "outside-the-box" thinking. Hmmm, what happens if I use the same strategy as a blink-tank post-37 while at the same time melee/DoT/nuking and using convert + refresh + haste + pro/shell + every other buff on the planet? That was as straightfoward as possible. I spent every one of my 8 years as a mage in XI and hated it in this game and refused to play it past rank 20 up until (possibly) now because it was stupidly easy. Thankfully SE is adding a challenge to being a skilled mage. About damn time in my opinion.
