Thread: RDM 7.4 changes and job identity

As a (ex)Bard, its nice to see we’re not the only job in the game whose players will completely cannibalise its own design in some sad, misguided attempt to improve its dps output (let’s be real who actually cares about dps output if they’re all going to be practically 2D in design complexity / effort). Wonder how long it’ll be before they remove Dualcast because ‘it causes undue stress that there’s a minor variation in how this caster uses spells compared to the other two’. I mean Black Mage already has barely any cast times, right? Just make them all Summoner, that’ll be real fun.

So. now we have ‘Archer firing laser beams from the sky with their hands’ and ‘magic swordsman slicing enemies with a slashing weapon from 10 miles away’ (but it’s ok because it’s only 3 combos per 120s or whatever). What’s next, Monks punching the enemy at max range?

Makes you question why in the world they’d even use a sword if they’re going to attack from so far away, but eh, not like devs give a shit about lore and logic anymore lol.
