RDM: Does it get fun at 70?

[Sevenino]

I started couple of weeks ago and planned to main RDM, even tho I heard it was too easy and I know i normally like challenging roles I decided to go for it just cause I like the style of the class.
Sadly I realized very quickly that it's too simple and bland for me and switched over to SMN.

I have a RDM that I was playing around with when I unlocked it and during that time I enjoyed it but quit for a few months came back and now I'm just not a fan of the RDM it is way to simple for me and I've been going between Ninja and Scholar

Still haven't played RDM personally but let's observe a moment of silence for all the RDM job crystals that will not or are not being used. *bows head silently*

Now let's also observe a moment of thanks for having something as awesome a job crystal system and not having to create a whole other character just to find out the new job/class sucks.

I personally am going to still try red mage and SAM. And can I just close again with how awesome that is I can have as many jobs/classes as I want on one character and can change said job/class on the fly?

I actually love RDM, it has a nice rhythm to it, and I prefer the simplicity (when you suffer latency, things with double CDs or ninja mudras are just exercises in frustration). I haven't had as much fun with a job since ARR.

For me RDM is, just like SAM, fun at the beginning and also a while on 70 but both classes get boring pretty fast.

Short Answer: No
Long Answer: The base rotation stays the same regardless of level. Apart from some oGCD and utility skills along the way to 70, nothing fundamentally changes with RDM. As an aside, once you unlock the ability to rez, everyone will be on your ass to rez. Be it 1 rez or 100, you will be asked to rez whenever someone dies and to hell with your DPS and your rotation. NOW REZ ME!!!!

Personally, I love Red Mage. I like the concept, and the melee/ranged aspect of the job, and I enjoy being able to provide utility. I do think the DPS output should be boosted slightly in order to make the job more viable for endgame content, and I'd very much like another AoE because Twelve know spamming Scatter endlessly is kind of tedious. My other main is Bard, and after pressing every button on my three hotbars throughout a raid (okay, I'm exaggerating slightly), it's nice to have a less...busy job to play for a while.

Now that I have both a level 70 RDM and SMN/SCH I would highly recommend having more the one job at 70. No one job is going to ingaging enough every day to keep you playing it. Switch it up and it will help keep thinks fresh and interesting.

When I play Black Mage or Summoner I feel I’m bringing power to a group and feel effective. When I play Red Mage I feel quite weak. VerAero, fire and thunder just don’t feel as strong.

No. The class is basically the same from 50 onward. It's very shallow. 60 and 70 are virtually interchangable.
