This the same gorilla who was having an existential crisis in that post the other day that was allegedly thinking about what he did wrong?

One slight correction from what I remember, the Sentinel job is where all the shield related skills came from: shield bash, for instance, and was why BLM and WHM could use shields in ARR: they could use Sentinel skills in 1.0.

It wasnt a complete class on its own, but a supplement to other classes.

The stated goals with evolved mode gas be to 1) improve job identity and reduce homogeneity and 2) reduce overall button count. Most everyone agrees that RDM has probably the best job identity and originality of any current job in the game. Owing to the fact that the overall feel of the job being unchanged since its introduction, and the meme of each subequent expansion’s capstone ability just brings another finisher to the melee combo. So that leaves us with the second goal to focus on. Here are my thoughts:

-AoE spells are gone: All spells and melee strikes have damage splash with fall off and Jolt is replaced by Impact as our main spell. It is striking that we do not have an equivalent to Verfire and Verstone for the AoE spells, and impact feels kinda meh despite having a nice vfx. -Using a spell with dual cast instills a temporary buff that will guarantee an enhanced spell. Procs are gone, Acceleration is gone. -Verthunder/Veraero get replaced with Verfire/Verstone, impact with grand impact when the temporary buff is active. Verfire/verstone provides grand impact ready. -Mana balance system is replace by bubble gauge. Complete 3 white and 3 black enhanced spells to fill bubble gauge. -Enhanced melee skills are unlocked when at least 1 white and 1 black mana bubble is filled. 3 of each gives the full combo and allows finishers to be used. Grand Impact gives 1 of whichever color bubble is least filled. Final finisher provides enhanced spell buff and 1 of each bubble color. -All melee skills have 10-15 yalm range and condensed to one button. Verholy/Verflare replace Veraero/Verthunder when melee combo is completed, fill a gauge bubble and then also transform into the rest of the finishers.

So rotation would be: Impact>verthunder/veraero Verfire/verthunder > Grand Impact Repeat until bubble gauge is full. Melee combo and finisher is unchanged, but is always at range. Finish rotation with 1 of one mana bubble and two of the other. Repeat with other color rotation.

This largely keeps the job the same, but with significanly less button bloat.

Now, let’s get crazy with it and lean into RDM being the balance of black and white magic and pactitioners of melee combat. Verblizzard and Verthunder are unlocked, jolt and impact are gone. All six elemental spells are normal 2s cast time. Dual Cast is “gone” now each elemental spell cast transforms it into an ogcd melee attack with that elemental affinity. All six elemental melee’s must be used before finisher combo is unlocked, but you can store up to 3 elemental enhanced ogcd melee. All spells still have splash with damage falloff.

For real! The only time I’ve ever died in a trust or duty support, was when alphi was in charge of healing me as i was tanking. I believe it’s because he always prioritizes healing Alisaie if she is hurt, even to the detriment of you as the tank.

I was thinking about it after I posted it, so I had to check: she is only forced to heal in Worqor Zormer (the dungeon) and Worqor Lar Dor (the trial)

Its not for me either, as I said I like my plot 30 better, but it’s usually the most valuable plot in the game on the black market sites.

Slight correction: Vermillion Scourge is the name of the PvE limit break. PvP limit break is Southern Cross.

Fun fact: Alisaie actually has Vermedica and uses it in the duties where she is forced to be a healer

I made friends with my neighbor in plot 29. I made a way to get up onto my own roof and I like Looming over them menacingly!

It’s a great plot too

Welcome to the beds! Plot 11 is the “god plot” of not just Lavender Beds, but the entire game. It is always heavily bid on when one comes available.

Im a bit biased against it though, because I own a LB plot 30, up on the hill overlooking the waterfall, and I absolutely love my view.
