Red Mage as possible new tank class

[Exstal]

Well flash news! not everyone want to play an alt character, also by saying 50k I am being large (5x10k) you know.. I'm talking on the long run, as it would even require more then 50k in the end.
Also, it seems like you don't play the game, as 30 extra VIT is relevant for a WAR or PLD main. In WP it does allow you to take everyone grudge more easily, or assure you to survive Titan's Mountain buster.

So once again, yeah its relevant.

Not everyone has an alt character? Then there is no point in using seals because you only play 1 job of your base class. If you're playing SMN, there is no reason to spend seals because you'll never play your SCH. For example. If I am a SMN main. I gear my SMN for Coil, because that's what I use it for. Why do I need 30 MND for Titan on my SCH when I would more than likely outgear it? Or WP/AK when I outgear it?

Except in my case, I am BLM main and SCH alt. I used my SMN without stat change because 30 INT on Titan or lower doesn't mean it's going to hurt enough.

One last thing, when these class/jobs will come (if they come) they will be available as main class/jobs for new characters since they will be released after the classes/jobs we currently have.. Which mean, from your statement that if RDM was coming out with buffs (FFXI style) it wouldn't be used in Coil because they wouldn't be any older character main class? I do love your logic, especialy when most FC ask you to have multiple job @ 50 to complete their rosters.

By my logic, if you're going to switch the new class to your main, you would change stats once and never look back. Not that your character would be geared for Coil anyway. FCs don't ask multiple jobs to complete their rosters. They ask for 1 job and if you have it, then you better be geared enough to use it. People don't /shout "LF SMN with SCH and tank offclass at 50 to do Coil".
