I don't think SE consider D4 RDM in the mechanics in this patch

[Mierkun]

Some mechanics designs in this patch are comfortable for rdm who are in fake melee, but D4 rdm is the bad in somehow. For example, playing M7S in D4 rdm is not able to melee combo in phase 3 tether, the only thing I can do is AOE combo. The burst cannot delay, because of tether stuff. Many people decide to play blm/pct, because of bad experience in D4 rdm.

Oh no, another unique job aspect they can quickly erase! Get to it, devs!!!

we've listened to your feedback, red mage melee combo now removed in place you get nothing!

please look forward to it.

[Mierkun]

yes. time to play other casters.

I assume by D4 you mean R2? Sorry I retired from savage so I'm not familiar enough with M7S.
Is it a problem specific only to that spot, or is it also problematic with other ranged spots?

D4/R2 is the default caster slot, some strats RDM can be better in R1/D3 but then you have to convince the physical ranged to swap with you which is just as likely as being able to convince people to let you fake melee in a double caster party

Nah that's too much effort. They'll just give the combo 25y range.

How low has this raidplan brainrotten community has fallen if people can't even adjust for a comfier run...
Do they use D1, D2, etc on NA or something? I've never ever heard of that position sign being used?

I believe JP macros typically use D1-D4 for the damage dealers (DPS), with expected sub-roles for each.

NA does M1 M2 R1 (Phys Ranged) and R2 (Caster) and has done this for years since raidplans caught on.
