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 tooFunny 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. >.>
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.
* 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)
