The future of Radiants

News

Hi.

With the release of S2 it seems many jobs did benefit from it, others didn't.
Seemingly now the majority of the jobs are able to grind solo, in some cases even tank the lesser raid bosses e.g. Secret Lab.

- since S2, big grind parties are not really common anymore because everybody is doing well in smaller groups
- the necessity of Radiants being in such a group is close to none, due to modifications of the damage dealt by mobs and other battle features as well
- having said that, during PvE parties Radiants don't even need to spam all heals at all, as one is usually enough to sustain life
- the only need for them seems to be when it comes to Ruinhorn or such raid bosses, FoC, ION, etc.

So Radiants got to change jobs to Tempests because everyone was too busy redoing their quests and not really willing to help (since there's a 2-week EXP Event going on). Understandable.
The fun part is that all ex-Radiants are now considered as noobs by changing jobs to Tempest.
There's really not much fun in playing a support char whose support is not necessarlly needed, unless someone has a kind soul or you patiently wait screaming out in numerous maps you'd join a raid or EXP party.

Anyhow, wanna share thoughts about how it might look in the future, after the event ?
Will Radiants be needed for grind parties, will they be bound/slaves of raid and PvP parties, or perhaps they will just go extinct.
