Sylph.Kiaru said: Ramuh.Rowland said: Someone give me a recap of what's happening right now. I tried to say RDM/SCH was the best sub, then made myself look stupid, which wasn't hard. Then, I tried to say /WHM or any other sub other than /SCH was useless in Abyssea, or anywhere, really. Because it feels like I have no subjob at all :(! Then, after making myself look stupid again, I tried to claim if you don't have WHM leveled, or an alt WHM character, YOU NEED TO GTFO :D! Then, I claimed you shouldn't play with people without WHM or a WHM alt, then argued RDM'S usefulness, even though I was defending it a few pages before. I might of missed why people got upset over my derpness, but I'm totally in the right. Oh, after that, I argued some more about how smart I'm not, then some more.. and more.. and more. Making myself look more stupid by every post. Oh, and, I'm always right. Did I mention that yet? I don't think so, because that's totally a *** of a thing to do. I wouldn't do that. But anyway, I'm not in the kitchen either! So, there's your recap<3! Oh and, I say I'm leaving arguments then keep going, too, cause that's smart as ***. But yeah, always right etc.

Ramuh.Rowland said: I kinda skimmed the past couple pages. Pretty much all I read is ***is situational, and people have different play styles to win at things.
My personal feelings dictate RDM is a suitable healer outside of abyssea, DDs fend for themselves, you keep the tank alive. WHM is needed for inside abyssea strictly because everyone has so much HP you need Cure V and VI to even do anything.
I'm of the opinion, though unnecassary I don't think RDM or SCH should have the same tier cure as anyone can get with /whm or /rdm soon.
As I said though, not necassary just an opinion.

I believe that we've discussed on the other forum that SCH, WHM, BLM are all good subs and they all have their situations as to where they are useful.
In my personal opinion /SCH shines in crowd control and in situations where you're going to sit in one book or the other for a length of time and are not required to switch them. So basically if you're playing psuedo WHM or psuedo BLM, but not RDM. Or if you're assisting in AoE burns~

Mostly useless for RDM in any situation.
A perk.
Only useful for Elemental Magic, Healing Magic, Dark Magic and Divine magic. The only really relevant one there is elemental (arguably Dark), and RDM doesn't exactly have issues landing nukes.
When do you need this?
Useful for AoE burns, and that's about it. Nice for Salvage, but Phalanx II is better for that since you won't have JAs/Subjobs for a while depending on zone.
Only useful if you're too stupid to bring a migawari tank, scherzo or earthen armor to a discoid chariot or other form of 10k needles.
SCH doesn't get all.
You're really using this as an argument?
Quote: Vs
-na's
Vs
stun
:/
WHM has more -nas. It has Divine seal, and barspells.
BLM has Sleepga, Conserve MP trait, Stun, Drain(forgot lulz) and Aspir.
An additional bonus to these two subs is that you don't get arts penalties.
It really depends on what you're doing. SCH is however not the default sub for RDM.

@ninian, i was naming the differences between subs. That's all you get for subbing WHM or BLM over SCH.
You also always use alacrity nukes over parsimony nukes inside abyssea, and good when manifestationing sleep1/2 with lots of mobs on you x_x
It's the default sub because it gives you EVERYTHING the other subs give, and much much more besides THREE very situational spells.

Ramuh.Rowland said: /SCH was great when I was main healing a bird party at 75 cap. But it just doesn't fit my play style for other events. I could just as easily crowd control as /blm. I don't see where you would need to use breakga or graviga all that much. /blm also gets drain, aspir, and sleepga too. It just depends what my group of friends needs.
Nini already broke everything down though.
If needing to crowd control with layered sleeps, breakga and graviga, SCH will be the undisputed king. However, if that becomes the case SCH main would be more useful than /SCH because of it's stratagem advantage.

I've always loved Rdm, even if it isn't really used anymore. However, i've always hated the job being transformed into a gimp Whm. I'd rather Rdm didn't get cure V, because outside abyssea, that's exactly all it'd be again. I have Blm and Nin leveled, so i don't really even solo on Rdm anymore since not much either of those jobs can't do that rdm can at this point in the game. Future content, I'd really like to see Rdm become the debuff king it always should have been, with support buff/heals as an assist to the Whm.

I got that, but you need to look at the whole picture not just the differences. Being restricted with books can be a huge disadvantage, along with being an advantage.
Quote: You also always use alacrity nukes over parsimony nukes inside abyssea, and good when manifestationing sleep1/2 with lots of mobs on you x_x
Seems like a waste of a stratagem to be quite frank, though it depends on what you're doing. I'm not arguing that it's worse than parsimony.

Camate said: Greetings red mages!
Thanks for all of your feedback and sorry to keep you waiting! Here are a handful of responses we got from the development team in regards to your questions and requests.
Quote: Do you have any plans to enhance the viability of our sword-wielding proficiency?
As was stated in the preface of the job adjustments concept, the core concept of these adjustments is to make each job useful in HNM fights as well as other battle-related content. That said, we mentioned that the job adjustments will focus on party structuring, but that doesn’t mean that we will not be looking into the sword-wielding proficiency of red mages. We are actually planning adjustments to red mage’s proficiencies in the upcoming version update.
Quote: Make it possible to add enfeebling effects to En-spells.
We have no plans for this at the moment. When looking at the current system, where enfeebles take place using magic and En-spells increase damage, we’re pretty satisfied with the current separation of the two.
Quote: Add higher tier En-spells.
Planning to add these during the next version update. However, this isn’t going to be the tier-III version, we are thinking about a different type of En-spell.
Quote: Add an ability that enhances the effect of En-spells.
We would like to look into perhaps having this take place through merit points.
Quote: Make it possible for red mage to use Enlight and Endark.
Enlight and Endark are special magic spells for paladin and dark knight respectively and we have no plans to add them to red mage at this time.
Quote: Get rid of the 100% enfeeble resists on some monsters.
In regards to monsters that are completely resistant to certain spells, there is a high possibility that we won’t make any significant changes. However, there aren’t really too many of these monsters, so in regards to adjustments making it possible to land enfeebling magic easier, we feel it would be better for red mage’s to experience this effect on a larger amount of monsters.
Quote: Add new enhancing magic.
Since enhancing magic is an area that red mages excel at, we would like to add something. We have been receiving a lot of ideas for enhancing magic and we will be keeping them in mind when exploring this subject.
Quote: Will red mage be able to the use the higher tier Gravity?
We are planning to make this spell a red mage-specific spell, but are continuing to evaluate it.
Quote: Allow red mages to use one-hand sword weapon skills that can only be used by certain jobs and support jobs. We also want staff weapon skills.
We will be looking into both of these along with the weapon skills revamp.
Quote: Give red mage the “Fencer” job trait!
We looked into this, however, if we were to add this it wouldn’t be a job trait. The possibility is pretty high that it would be in the form of equipment that a red mage could wear.
Source: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/11518-Job-Adjustment%EF%BD%93-Manifesto-RDM?p=165408&viewfull=1#post165408
Mostly disappointing stuff and wasted questions. I welcome whatever Melee buffs we get (i used to melee a lot on RDM but I'm planning on an Almace for BLU and RDM), but I'm facepalming that SE is denying us Fencer as a job trait. lol@GearWeWillNeverUseOverHaste >_>
It also doesn't say much for the backline crowd. Can't say we're Enfeebling Masters if we're still getting our most powerful enfeebles resisted on HNMs. And can we just get Quick Magic, Elemental Stave-like Swords/Daggers, Regen III and Extremely useful Debuffs already? =\
