    I really hope they don't. If the changes would make it significantly different, then they should have just given those mechanics to a new job instead and left RDM alone. Several jobs are in the best places they have ever been, and changing them further will have a high likelihood of either making them worse or making them different jobs all together.

    Oh don't be like that. It won't kill us, any more than Paradox made BLM a completely "different job."
    Which I know is saying something, since BLM usually changes every 10 levels, but is almost always in "the best place they have ever been" and notably still considered iteration on the same job since HW. The day they actually make BLM "worse" is the day I stop using it as an example for this very argument.

    I'm not asking them to reinvent the wheel (which, see my last post, they basically already have), just put the same amount of creativity they put into things like Polyglot and Paradox into us. Little additions sprinkled on top, in a more creatively fulfilling way than "one more spell on the cap".
