Thread: What Red Mage may be in 4.0

Thing about Ramza is that he didn't have any one class, like with special units he never changed his outfit to fit the job he was currently set to. I suppose I can see why Red Mage would be an obvious choice but at the same time I guess Mime could as well, copying and using other people abilities not so much only copying the last action. Now THAT would be an interesting class to see get implemented.

Yoshi P did say awhile back that they would add Red Mage to the game once they figured out how to not make it fucking OP is overshadows the rest. So, maybe Red Mage 4.0? Who knows? We shall find out at the Fan Fest!

some can please fill me in on why everyone's so obsessed with RDM?

RDM can stab you, burn you, and heal you at the same time. Oh and the outfit is extremely stylish.

I always loved that pic.

I think rdm should be The melees answer to brd. With a bit more magic support and some aoe magic.

there's 3 tanks, 3 healers, 3 dex jobs, and 2 casters and 2 str jobs. so i think we'll get a caster and str job. maybe some job with mace/hammer, to pair with mnk blunt damage. for caster it could be RDM as melee caster; using magic sword for elemental attacks, and White magic for self buffs. But yah, remember DRK is tank in XIV, so they might just redesign RDM, from what people would expect.

don't forget we will probably see Samurai as STR class dps, then the possibility to see the RDM as caster is still possible. the possibility of a melee caster is really high, but i doubt we will have a full hybrid... it's silly in a game like FF14. a jobs can't do all.

I would be happy with a dps that has mainly melee moves, some ranged attacks(spells), and a heal that isnt as potent as a normal healers. Gladiator tanks and heals, why cant we dps and heal? Make it so that it would be a dps loss in group content though. So i could do solo content or fates and have a heal for the occasional drop in health.
