| Re: Ask a question thread. Pteryx, the thing is, unless RDM is an amazing melee, players aren't going to use it for that. The playerbase doesn't like 'ok', it likes 'amazing'. This is why there is such discrimination amongst jobs, and why FFXI only has two tank jobs. There is nothing SE can do about this. Either some classes are going to be the best and the playerbase is going to use them, or the playerbase could decide to accept the mediocre and use whatever they want. This playerbase is not going to do the latter, unless you get a static party that will, in which case go knock yourself out.
Red Mage has always and will always be a job that has white magic and black magic, as well as sword skills, but isn't particularly good at any of them. Last I checked, it's been that way for two decades. Why would FFXI be any different? There is no argument for the question, you want to see it asked, but there is no good reason to do so. It's job purpose is VERY CLEAR. There's no reason to ask. |
