So,... who's sticking with RDM/SAM after the hype train passes?

[RubenSnizzle]

Sam is the first melee dps i like. Im still 50/50 on rdm.

[Dualgunner]

I'm absolutely sticking with Red Mage as my main. It's so well put together and fun, I love every minute of playing it!

[Muchmidget]

I'm making Red Mage my main. I'll still level up a healer and tank, though....they're nice for roulettes (or queues in general) when I have limited time.

[Kacho_Nacho]

I enjoy healing too much to really give up on being a white mage but playing red mage has grabbed my heart and has sorely tempted me. Guess I'll be polyamorous and play them as co-mains.

[Evaddaragon]

PLD shall ever remain my main, but RDM has taken over my former alt, DRG, as it was planned from the beginning. I always keep my PLD main for most content because lorewise it's my favorite FF job (and I always play a tank in MMOs), but having an alt for 24-man or whenever I do something with FC mates, is good. I also intend to keep a 3rd job, WHM, on hand, for the rare occasion my team needs, or the adventurer in need bonus is, a healer. That's what I've been doing since ARR and the formula's worked pretty well for me so far.

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Haven't given Red Mage much of a whirl yet, but I'll likely be hanging up my lance for a while and taking up the sword. I'll still play tanks as my secondary though.

[BroodingFicus]

I main a WHM but I primarily progress with a friend so I usually keep one alt on the side with a DPS role handy just to have fun with when they aren't around. RDM will be that class for sure. I enjoy the little touches of WHM that exist and I like that their build up feels very rewarding. The spiffy red coat helps too.

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

I really like SAM. It's my new melee of choice, but I'll remain a MCH main, WHM secondary.

[Priya]

Just hope I can find one of those 'harder mmo's' that the white knights tell me there are 'loads of'. Havent found one yet.

Mythic level raiding in WoW is pretty demanding. So are very high level mythic keystone dungeons if you haven't given either of those a shot. Any lower content isn't hard, though.

[TruebladeNuke]

I haven't leveled neither SAM nor RDM to 70 yet. Only raised them to level 60 to get them out of the Ironworks gear and into the Heavensward endgame gear. (And make some space for myself on inventory in the process) But from what I've played from them, SAM is definately looking to be my alternate go to melee DPS to MNK. Unlike the typical shout chat I see in the new "Barrens" chat location in which people insist on treating MNK like crap, I see MNK and SAM as best friends instead of rivals. Keeping them both geared is so easy thanks to them sharing gear. (But of course, I typically ALWAYS go against what the general crowd thinks)

I'm still not certain about RDM. But it's very fun so far. The only thing I'm not liking about RDM is how late RDM learns how to raise people. That's something I seriously liked about SMN among the DPS roles even during ARR. That said, my SMN may have to watch out anyway. Because I AM really liking RDM so far. To the point of which I wonder about the people I once worked with who insisted on claiming that RDM wouldn't work in FFXIV's combat system. I bet they dropped their jaws at how well RDM was implemented.

That all said, DPS jobs are always my alternate jobs that I usually only typically play in 24 man raids, and on rare occasions typical regular Duty Roulettes. I'm going to remain as both a Tank and Healer main into the future, because tanks in particular are always in serious short supply. ESPECIALLY since SB released. I'll be withholding judgement on how well PLD, DRK, and WAR play until I personally get them all to level 70 myself and play as them through the current endgame dungeons. My PLD is almost to 70, (for the sake of my PLD retainer) but I have yet to touch DRK and WAR since SB launched.
