Rebalancing and Redesigning Red mage (Suggestion)

[Tagrineth]

But even if you had got the mix of both of them in the party Red mage was still valueable. Actually i would reference FF5 more because it seems more FFXI. FF5 actually had something along the lines of subjobs.

And even in FF5, Red Mages' melee damage pales in comparison to like the dozen other Job options that are more melee-focused.

Also: If RDM ever got even billing to where they could heal on par with WHM, melee on par with (I dunno, not the best example but...) PLD, and nuke on par with BLM...

Why would you invite those other jobs for anything, ever?

A job like RDM by its very design HAS to be worse at everything than a more dedicated job. :\
