In an interview Y leaked that red mage is his one his favorites. So I'm almost current Red mage is in the works and would love to see introduced in a future path as a melee dps.

Red mage and Samurai have been both heavily requested by players. I'm thinking we are getting Samurai in 4.0- i can wait since I have my dark knight .

Instead of a fencing weapon i think giving Gun blade to a Red mage would be awesome existing and excite a lot of people. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS DEVS!!
