Red Mage

[Stormsoul]

That literally sounds more boring than 2.0 SMN as it would also be w/o a pet even though all the pet does is auto-attack.

RDM Melee full of DoTs... I will literally commit virtual seppuku if that is the best SE can do with RDM.

dunno, sounds fine to me if done right. could have a rapier stab/bleed, poison, a fire dot (dualcast? one cast does small direct damage, the other cast leaves a dot)... along with some white magic stuff like a cure and protect/shell for a little bit of hybrid support.
