    I'm on a similar boat, except without the tank part. RDM main tanking in FFXI jokes aside, tanking doesn't suit the aesthetic of the job.

He said this when BRD was changed to a DPS instead of a Buffer with some DPS.
    This would be one approach.

    The silver lining in all of this is that I can finally get rid of the quote in my sig if they get the job right.

    * 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:
