Redmage the underdog

[Hordecora]

it seems like redmages arent used or wanted anymore i hope SE can fix this job with new abilities and extra Healing power or increase dmg on EN-spells and make them good melee DD

I think they should give rdm tier 3 en-elemental spells, tier 1 en-enfeebles, tier 2 spike spells. In addition, they need to consider redoing how enfeebling magic works, by allowing rdms to have a better chance to land there spells instead of the nm mostly outright resisting them completely. I understand some nm have some immunities, but almost all nm can't be silenced or anything worthy.

The spike spelss, tier 2, will do more damage than there tier one version and have a 10% chance at causing an enfeebling effect associated with it's element. Example, shock causes stun, fire spikes cause amnesia, etc.

That said, give rdm amnesia spell.

Tier one en-enfeebling could be shared with drk and have a 20% proc rate, en-blind, en-para, en-slow. En-drain would be drk only spell, and proc 100% of the time, cant proc during drk's 2hr or souleater.

Tier 3 en-elemental spells, more damage and perhaps a 5% chance at causing an added effect associated to the element like the spike spells mentioned above.

Healing, idk, lets make rdm not a sub par healer, i'll conceed that sch is better at healing but lets make rdm shine at what it's supposed to do right, dueling with swords and commander in chief of enfeebling magic. If rdm got these spells, I feel more people would want their rdm in the party, and want the rdm to actually melee, if not for the 20% of the enfeebling effect associated with the new en-enfeebling spells, or the damage and 5% proc rate of the tier three en-elemental spells.

PS: How does a duelist like rdm not get dualwield?

That's fine, dual wield is a question, not a suggestion. The other stuff I feel should be mandatory if rdm is going to be given a fair chance, also, whm never should have recieved addle.

I kinda do a facepalm when people give this troll serious responses. GG had the right idea.
