DEV Request: Red MAge with Gunblade.

[AzraelX]

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!!

I like the idea of a version of the Dancer job. I enjoyed it in Final Fantasy XI. However, with the lack of pure support jobs like some of the Everquest games have, Dancer would probably have to be a DPS/Support job like Bard and we already have that in game.

Actually in XI it's a pretty effective TP-based healer, which is probably the direction they'd go if they added it to FFXIV

Interesting... so instead of a regular fencer sword, you'd suggest for the Red Mage to have a gunblade, along with taking advantage of having a gunblade and possibly some skills revolving around the gunblade.

Personally, I'd rather that the Red Mage pick up and use a traditional fencer sword, but thinking about it, SE DID combine Archers and Bards into a single job role. (Much as some people seem to hate that) So... it's possible SE may combine gunblade warriors with the Red Mage, putting two into one role again.

Right now though, I'm content with just the 3 upcoming roles we're getting now. (DRK! WOO!) Though down the road, I REALLY want to see Dancer (as a healer role) be the next job down the road after these upcoming 3 roles. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the next role after these upcoming 3 would be some kind of spellcaster DPS role.

this is like the 6th red mage thread i have seen since 2.0 XD and the 4th gun blade

The issue with redmage that was brought up a while back by a 1.0 player was most redmage skills are used with Archaist.

as for gun blades, they would most likely be a class of there own, separate to red mage as a close fighting and ranged dps.

the devs won't add in this class more likely due to how it and archaist share the same move pool.

and for blue mage (just a in before) that was turned down due to difficulties on how it would be balanced.

I would honestly rather have a gunblade job be it's own thing. Not mixed in with redmage at all... but then again I don't like the way smn works so who know what we'll get.

Dear Developers: Please make the coolest class, thank you

I could actually seeing this work as something in a Garlean focused expansion. We all know Garleans use magitech, and gunblades are a very big part of the Garlean arsenal. So perhaps a gunblade weilding magitech user that has moderate abilities in WHM/BLM?

+1 I think it'd be cool.

With that, it would either be a gunblade class, or everyone gets a unique gun related weapon, gun blade, gun lance, gun fists, gun book lol

As long as RDM makes it into the game with it's signature look (that isn't completely botched like in LRFF13) i'm fine with any weapon they give it haha.

If red mage makes it into the game i'm sure it will be a DPS job with potentially interesting self buffs. Probably will be sort of like XI's RDM with enspell type attacks. But it would be per attack, essentially giving us the melee ravager attacks from 13 (flamestrike, sparkstrike, etc). Would work with any type of blade they give RDM. Pure speculation of course.

I just want RDM (and DNC too) really bad!
