I'm not sure why you're so fired up about these changes. 1.) They don't make RDM in any way useful or more powerful with the way the game is played, and 2.) You don't have a RDM that can use any of these new abilities anyway. But I guess it makes your theoretical RDM that you've been playing for several years now more awesome. In which case, congrats on your new power-boost.

I was excited by the prospects of having an entirely new debuff line exclusive to RDM. Then they gave Addle to WHM.

Like Addle was a huge deal to begin with. But in case you didn't notice, they gave it to BRD, too:

Pining Nocturne (BRD Lv. 92)
Decreases an enemy's magic accuracy and increases its spellcasting time.

/fuel "Fire"

So Temper is going to be self-cast only.

I really don't understand SE's design choices, given the job manifesto they laid out for Red Mage. I really and truly do not.

Man... the more I think about it... the more I realize how disappointed I am with these last few THF updates. We've really gotten the shaft these last few. I'd really love to have something that makes it so THF brings more to the table than TH. TH III was the last good thing we really got. I'd love to have another dmg dealing ability like SA/TA. I'd even be slightly excited if SE made crossbow worthwhile. I've often wondered why THF doesn't get any WS's with crossbow.

Idk... intimidation might be okay... just dependent on many factors. But, no matter, it's dissapointing.

Okay, self-cast, but incompatible with Accession?

So my initial impression was right, and this is SE trolling RDMs about melee again?

Re: Job Adjustments! (8/19/2011)

Should have been a double attack "sphere" effect. That would give an actual reason for a rdm to be on the front lines with the melee.

ADD: Okay, self-cast, but incompatible with Accession?

Now I agree, that's just plain weird.

Not that I don't appreciate it, but . . .

Re: Job Adjustments! (8/19/2011)

Im excited to have a reason to use Ramuh. I can't say it's a great reason... but it's a reason.

Also... Kakka sounds like a cool new addition to the NIN ARSEnal (get it? *snicker*). I'm not so sure about the new JA though. Increases parry? I mean... it's really going to depend what the duration/recast/boost it ends up granting. Time will tell.

For COR... a roll for conserve TP? Lame. A roll for Regain& Regen!? AWSOME!!! Owait...it's for pets.

Re: Job Adjustments! (8/19/2011)

Companion's Roll (Lv. 95)
Grants "Regain" and "Regen" effects to pets of party members within area of effect. Lucky Number: 2.

lolwut

Temper (RDM Lv. 95)
Grants the ability to occasionally attack twice.

. . . oh wait, it's not a self-cast? in that case, yes, yet another thng to add to the haste / refresh cycle, and still troll-ey, just in a different way

And I'm still not to impressed with what PUP gets.

Has DRK ever been relevant outside of Kraken Club zerging?

There was a time when Guillotine got them DD respect.
