#RIPRDM

[BillyKaplan]

I never said RDM has to go on indefinitely. BLM is about the only class who can do that, and even that's not at full power 100% of the time. But there's that, and there's running dry within your first optimal rotation, which is what people are worried about. A legitimate concern seeing how it's a new class, I think. Personally, I'm not too worried about RDM, between early patches tweaking such things if they exist and what you said about Lucid Dream and melee. I dare say RDM might just be why casters even have Lucid Dream in the first place. Most likely it's by design - BLMs have Umbral Ice; SMNs have Aetherflows; RDMs have Lucid Dream, which actually ties in with the lore as they draw from White Magic and at least in its past incarnation was originally a Conjurer skill (Shroud of the Saints). But as it's been changed into a role skill, the can't just give RDM that, especially not after taking it from WHM itself.

On a more general note, the beautiful thing is that this job fits my chara's lore, too, so it'll be all the more fun for me to play
