How Many Would Have Rather Seen RDM than SMN

[Renen]

I'd rather see SMN

I'd like to see RDM once the game has an enfeebler class already. RDM is a front line sword fighting jack of all trades, not the abomination it became in XI and the last thing I want to see is for that to happen again.

SE do RDM justice in XIV.

Thanks. I figured everyone would know the answer to that one, since I'm sure they can tell from the pixels and having seen a few 'shops in their time. Kinda like this one. >.>;

I think RDM was done right, at least in regards to accurate portrayal according to lore. B grade swordsmanship, access to all but the highest tiers of black and white magic. Problem is it didn't seem to take into account that it was placed in an MMO setting.

Problem was the playerbase pushed em to the back line alongside White and black mages. It was rare to see it used as anything other than a healing haste/refresh monkey. God help you if you drew your weapon to smack something in a party setting, you'd never hear the end of it.

The inherent problem with a jack of all trades job in an MMO environment is that adequate will never be seen as good enough. If you're an ok meelee/magic damage dealing job and anything better is available, guess what will be fulfilling the DD role? Not you. I'm sure I don't need to point this out, but the group that's always overpopulated in the MMO Holy trinity is damage dealing classes. And if you're an ok healer...well you're still a healer and in every MMO i've played healers are the scarcest role, so guess where you'll be pressed into service. Just look at XI's Summoners, stuck healing from about level 10 until the late 60s/early 70s just because they had the mana pool to scrape by in the healing role with whm subbed.

I'll go ahead and say it, if Redmage were to do anything other than buff/heal it would need to be a Spellsword capable of respectable damage. Not bottom rung, not "mediocre," I mean right there alongside the other damage dealing classes.

Well said. Glad to see someone else is aware of this issue.

I would like to see them eventually add a PUP where they can have a RDM puppet.

Totally agreex.x I long for the day of a true front line spell sword and if given the right abilities, a rdm could be an excellent addition to the front line battles! Possibly they can give themselves aura buffs that extend to the pt

And don't blame SE for what happened to rdm...<_< I mean...look at what happened to nin

SMN>RDM That is all ^.^
