aside from refresh spells they should also be allowed to have spells that create refresh aura and such others as temper.
example 1: if u hang around with the mages and have a refresh aura spell put up, those members around you would gain +2mp tick as well as also having "refresh II" when casted on them will stack.
example 2: if u feel like meleeing on rdm and have a temper aura, the surrounding melee will be under the effect of double attack while you also refresh II the mages from the frontlines.
i think this will solve a lot of problems the rdms are having at the moment with being gimped on the recent couple of updates
give rdm aura spells

This has been suggested a few times, Developers respone: AURA is too powerful to give to the job in that it completely blocks the negative status.

Come to think of it, theres already a job with auras, SMN, but its auras dont prevent status debuffs of the opposite, so maybe some specialized icon/status for the buffs would be the way of doing it.

Aura's weren't thought up for rdm, composer was. If we need anything, I'd say add more duration. So we can cast and forget for 20 minutes or more. Leaving us open to do other things like nuking, enfeebling, healing, or dare I say "melee".

What does it matter if auras weren't initially thought up for red mages?

I would think SE has a game plan for each job class. And when it comes to rdm it's been for longer duration of buffs, not to aura them around us. It's not a bad idea. Trust me I like it too. I just don't believe the job will get it.

I really don't think that auras are an ability well suited to red mages. They don't get anything that's an AoE buff ever, why would they start now, and with something as powerful as a double attack aura? Imagine the summoner rage! Rather I'd be more inclined to agree to longer duration on buffs, because cycles suck. Hard.
Also, insert quips here about melee time vs. casting time directed at original poster. -
10-09-2011, 07:22 PMDaniel_HatcherIt's OK, they need to add enough gear to make it so RDM can naturally cast spells on other people at the same duration as on themselves (minimum.)Quote:
