Red Mage idea

[Eremor]

Fact #1: Gunblades exist in FFXIV.

Fact #2: No traditional FF job uses gunblades.

Therefore I make the following proposition:

I like it but they shouldn't work from range. should be a ws that has you shoot from up close

[Alaltus]

I prefer the XI usefulness to another sword job.

I think everyone wants RDM to be useful its just that many people want it to be useful in the frontlines rather than the back and ofcourse want SE to avoid the buff cycles that became Rdm's priority in party besides the odd instance of needing sleep etc. I could see Rdm coming off of musketeer though i'm still hoping for fencer.

[Colino]

I would only hope red mage comes from fencer/thm, rather than glad.

I want fencer ; _ ;

[Deathmask]

Rdm tank? for the love of god no.

Musketeer> Redmage.
Oh ho hohohohoho~

To be honest this game doesn't need a "Red Mage". If you wanna play as a Red Mage, please go back to FF11.

Refresh-bot and lolenfeebles =/= Red Mage. Besides, XI's developers can't or refuse to fix RDM, so XIV is our hope for them getting it right this time.

Therefore I make the following proposition:

Heres an idea:

Class = Fencer/ FNC - one handed sword fighter DD that can't use shields but deals increased damage in a two handed stance/grip.

Then RDM could be a melee mage hybrid DD(without tank abilities) and everyone is happy.

Musketeer should go into an Engineer/Machinist type job ala Edgar and Mustadio. If RDM comes at all, its base should be fencer.
