Another... Red Mage Concept

[Warlyx]

when i see rdm post ...i always think in the ballad of the three mages

"
I am the red mage, I can do it all,
Both kinds of magic and swordplay too, y'all!
So many skills that it takes to be a hero
A jack of all trades but the master of zero
What am I great at? Nothin' I'm told, ya see I always get the bronze but never the gold
Well some day soon I hope to be best,
Just for a moment better than the rest!

Oh ho... my life is a tragic paradox, I said
Oh ho... I feel like a circle in a squarer box
Why am I afraid to choose a scepter or a blade?
I could focus on one, and son, I'd have it made
Until that day I'm just a man on a quest, but mark my words I'm gonna be the best!"

poor rdm

Funny thing being that if RDM were in a game like WoW or SWTOR you'd have either a spec dedicated to each role to give everyone what they want, or an advanced class per role that meets those ends. Thus RDM would technically be able to be the best at all three...in its own way. >.>

yeah in wow/swotr , rdm could have a heal spec (maybe meleeing to heal like fistweavers), a melee spec (rapier master) and a caster spec (a faster nuker instead of slow powerfull nukes , a way to chain them in order to do more dmg ) even if wanted a tank spec too

Do they have any plans to bring RDM into FFXIV anyway? I really wish they do.

It's been talked about but using very...questionable mindsets (Yoshida mentioned in an early interview that an idea was RDM requiring BLM and WHM unlocked, though that makes no sense for several reasons). We also keep in mind the game's approach to class design plus the dynamic between classes. Add the trinity focus on all we can do is give suggestions and pray it's not more of this.

I cried when I clicked through to that link I pray the days of Dynamis haste and refresh whore are over, I couldn't bare it to happen again here.
