Red Mage: I am not a Back line class

[Hyrist]

You'd think being a staunch supporter of Red Mage's in the front lines for nearly a decade in FFXI (to the point of infamy) would actually intice me to speak up about this issue more.

But the fact of the matter is, I'm actually pretty confident that Yoshida will get this right. Something on how they described close range attacks and enfeebeling magic as their Red Mage example just struck me as correct.

They know what the desire for the Lovers of Red Mages are. And I think they'll be striving to meet it.

At this point, I'm content to wait and see. If I'm impressed enough. Hyrist (of) Midgardsormr will make a return.

That's probably a good attitude to have. Although, on the other hand there's Paladin...

In all honesty it is highly unlikely that SE would even bother to look at a player submitted class build unless it somehow was favored by over 50% of the entire player base world-wide (and not just the small fraction who want to see Red Mage again). I don't think any single person on these forums could drum up that kind of support (I certainly couldn't). So really all we are doing here is dreaming of possibilities.

But sometimes it is nice just to dream.
