Red Mage Melee Ideas

[Demon6324236]

Ammo is a different slot then ranged and you can change ammo without losing TP. Ranged is bows / chakrams / ect..

Yes I know, as I said a few posts back for some reason the way my mind read it I thought you were saying a RDM would be using ranged. Which makes no sense as there isn't much there for us anyways. So I was pointing out that for RDM at least that problem shouldn't exist anyways. Sorry about that :x

Wow, plenty of views and lots of ideas. Well guess i better upkeep my own thread. Ahem.

Well i saw someone suggest something along the lines of Fast Draw and i got to thinking "Holy crap thats actually a good idea!"

And it a goes something like this..............

Elemental Thrusts. Multiple charges, Job ability, one for each element. The effect should CAUSE IMMUNOBREAK related to debuffs of the same element. Immunobreak is a really neat aspect of the game, but it would make sense for a redmage to have the ability to force it out faster by striking the enemy with proper element attack. These should do damage also, be consistant like Fast Draw to really give RDM reason to swing the sword!

Also for the record, i do not recall trying to say Redmage should become the #1 damage dealer. I simply stated that a little extra bang for their buck might actually be a good thing. And discussion really should focus on ideas that allow redmages to assist the party through melee, not just be yet another i WS for a bajillion damage. It is a job that has an assistance focus on it, rather than being a primary anything.

Thank you for continued support and great ideas guys!

Not much for ammo slot either. I tend to use the AV Magic Acc +8 Chakram or the Killer Bow. In either case as long as someones got a plan then it's fine.

Lanner Bow is pretty nice too.
