rdm is perfectly capable of soloing hard ass nms. they dont need more Enspells or dmg spike abilities, they need new enfeebles and enhancements. this will make them better dd's as well! rdm has almace, they dont get berserk next.

I disagree with enspells. I'd like to see more enspells that function as a utility rather than just a damage perk. Something that better represents our enhancing/enfeebeling nature.

But overall, I agree. We need more melee buffs. These in turn will feed back into our performance. Whether or not some of these buffs are single target only I'll leave to SE to determine, but our HNM party presence seems woefully soft. And our performance on fodder mobs in the front lines could use a boost. These problems could probably be solved together.

Ot that I don't agree with the above statement, just that people throw out the empreyean weapons as if theyre the standard weapons. A lot of players are working on it, players shouldnt treat any of these weapons as the "normal".

I look toward the future and so what if we get the next tier of enfeebs? A paralyze 3 or whatever. SquareEnix is still a cheap company hiding behind game balance. Most of the new enfeebs will only probably have an additional 5% of effects, if that. Break was an amazing addition...that is until players realize it function exactly like sleep. One hit brakes pertification for some reason.

There only one move that SquareEnix could make to really make Redmages shine again and that's if they were the only job to be able to break the standard caps of things like haste. Haste, unfortunately I think is overdone in my opinion. Though if Redmages were to get Haste II and/or Hastaga II.

Good idea with the En-spells pretty much turning us into a Mystic Knight type character, i'm all for it!
