Red Mage Changes

[Jkap_Goat]

In ffxiv, RDM is a dps. There is no such thing as a hybrid in xiv's trinity.

Yeah it's a shame really. It really holds jobs back and yes it's a DPS but nevertheless, it's a HYBRID.

No, it isn't in FFXV. It isn't even a proper caster/melee hybrid as it was advertised.

The only thing holding back this job is the mentality that it somehow needs more support to salvage more and more terrible situations.

It's a dps. It needs to do more damage. It has more potential support than any other job, anything more and it's just excessive.

this is not FF11 where one job can fill multiple roles
like ninjas being a tank or Blu and Rdm being jack of all trades
ff14 is built around the Three roles
just because samurai and monk have defense buffs means that they can tank
just because RDM and PLD have a heal spell means they can be a healer
