RDM New 2h

I am sorry but it is horrible. It is basically Elemental Seal... you know that ability that black mages get and RDM can get while subbed blm? If you are gonna do something like that make it last for 30~60 seconds instead of just 1 spell. Even than it wouldn't be that great of a skill.

Ran some tests with this and commented in the Red Mage specific forums. I agree that this ability is lackluster, and adds next to nothing to the job.

I can think of a handful of situations where the current incarnation of the ability (where you can land enfeebles on immune mobs) could potentially be useful. However it has been stated that this is a bug and will be corrected.

Simply, I do not think this ability is 1hr material.

Did you do tests comparing Elemental Seal with Encomium on targets with ultra-high (but not immune) defense against an enfeebling effect?

I would have preferred the "Bolsters enhancing magic effect." job ability much more than an Elemental Seal for Enfeebling Magic. We are already experts at Enfeebling Magic, so we would benefit more from an ability that enhances something we're well at, but not experts in.
