Anyone else wish RDM was a PURE support class?

[Laerune]

For me RDM is a class that does melee dps, can cast white and black magick spells, the perfect jack of all trades, but from what I have heard from the interviews, the FFXIV RDM will be a BLM with a staff + rapier hybrid weapon and will be a dps caster. Aside from the weapon and outfit, one has to wonder if this is a RDM at all....

I guess its too early to worry, I will wait till I hear more from Yoshi-P.

On-topic:

Yes, I wish it was a pure support class or a hybrid DPS/Healer.

F: Some players might have been surprised with the fact that Red Mage will be DPS.
Y: I also have the image of the Red Mage being a hybrid job between Black and White Mage. However, we had to fit it into the FFXIV formula. Otherwise, it might turn out as a job that isn’t too useful. FFXIV is a standalone title in the FF series, so while keeping the essential roots of the Red Mage job in general, it will be unique to XIV, as well. You will see it as a new type of Red Mage.
