Red Mage use Casting gear!!

[Lambdafish]

I think (and I have no idea how feasable this is) that they should change the way RNG works on these loot drops, making it so that there is a higher chance for loot to drop based on the current party composition, and a lower chance (obviously it still needs to be able to drop) for gear to drop that is not equippable by anyone in the party. It could go even further and check current ilvl, but this is unnecessary.

Or... I guess tokens..... (but I hate tokens, so much inventory bloat)

If the devs keep consistent with their internal rule to keep the game simple (as happened with the removal of the elemental table), gear will be shared.

With glamouring, telling your class by your gear has been gone and done (thus, we now see the class in clear in pvp) so I don't see any reason to have a new separate gear set. It will be more nice, instead, the new job comes with its new theme-related gear, but wearable and glamourable by any job with same main stat.

Going maybe too much far, I will love see one day the separate sets of gear being only five: str/vit/int/dex and mnd based, with the job having access to one or two of them for use.

And all of them for glamouring of course.

Why are you surprised? It is a caster, INT gear was obvious...

I remember i listened somewhere, MrHappy i think, that RDM its gonna share monk gear.

He also thought SAM was gonna be a tank. Dont get me wrong but it was probably just a prediction before the fact.

It'll probably be added at some point in 4.0, since it takes a while to create a gear set.

makes sense then. does feel like forever ago when the votes came in for that one.

Almost certain it was confirmed in either the reveal or a Live Letter that SAM will share MNKs gear sets. I think, ideally, we'll be seeing RDM start its own INT based set, with a new aesthetic. If we look at what we have now, all Stat types have been split into two different styles for their sets.

STR-
DRG wear heavier attire, typically lighter variations of Tank sets. And MNK wear heavy leather to layered cloth.

DEX-
NIN mostly share an aesthetic with MNKs,but also sometimes sharing a style with MCH/BRD. MCH/BRD have a diverse pool of light leather to light cloth, and even often caster styles.

INT-
Thus far we have BLM and SMN, traditional casters of sorts. While some sets from dungeons have been non-traditional and very light, it would be strange to see something "mobile" like RDM wearing thick, layered robes. So it's not far-fetched to think RDM will then start the alternative style for casters.

It was actually displayed on one of the sliders during the Vegas Fan Fest, as Yoshi was talking about new gear. (Think it was Vegas)

[Vexander]

I'm expecting RDM to share gear with BLM/SMN.

I would be pleased if they got their own set, similar to DRG/NIN right now.

I would also be pleased if SE would stop making Healer/DPS-Caster sets the same with different color swaps. The primal tomestone gear was inexcusable. Shiva for healers and... Shiva for Casters? You passed up Ramuh? RAMUH, LITERALLY THE DPS MAGE PRIMAL?! WHY WOULD YOU NOT MAKE A DPS CASTER SET BASED ON RAMUH?!

[Kemonologist]

WHY WOULD YOU NOT MAKE A DPS CASTER SET BASED ON RAMUH?!

Lazy same as titan for tank.

[RaijinSupreme]

I'm for the team of RDM having its own set. Its the only thing that makes the most sense.

If the loot table bloat becomes an issue, then just add 1 extra piece of loot in every chest.

RDM needs its own set though. Cant have a red mage in a robe.
