Phalanx reaching ~50 wouldn't be OP, and Stoneskin can easily reach 600+ if they wanted, why? Because if you're fighting anything hard that ~10 seconds spell is not going to get cast on you mid battle. SCH, Meh! again, with Enemies so strong, and temp items galore it really is nothing special anyway.

I cast Stoneskin in about 2~3 seconds using a gear swap into Fast Cast & Stoneskin enhancing gear including the hands with -15% cast time, I use it often while fighting NMs, not hard, trust me.

As for Phalanx, I am only saying I think it should be a different spell because we already neutralize some enemys damage completely, and I don't see SE moving it up to make even more enemys much of the same. I would love it, more power to RDM and more reason to play it, but I don't see SE doing it, so I like to present other ideas as well, in this case a -DT spell. On low lvs, would mean little, 25% of 50 damage is only -12, under the amount you say to Phalanx, however on big NMs that hit for something like 400, you take out 100 damage, a great amount that helps alot. It would mean you lose nothing on gear, or you survive easier when stacked with gear (why I added it should be like Aegis, stacking outside of gear cap) and thus allowing another thing for RDM to have for itself.

My point with Stoneskin is that even at that potency it really couldn't be abused, you're either fighting something you could without it, or the monsters will break through it easily enough.

If that was added though it'll be done similar to BLU in that it occupies the Phalanx slot.

True, honestly if anything I wouldn't be opposed to a Stoneskin 2 just for the reason it adds another spell to RDM that hopefully other jobs wouldn't get... Either way as I said I only speak in the idea that low lv mobs are already worthless against us.

That would be a problem, but I would hope SE would change that for RDM. Its pointless to keep arguing though. If they make it high enough to work well on endgame then everything else will be much too week as well. If they don't, it has to be a new spell for doing something about high level monsters, otherwise we get left with nothing, and are just as bad off.

I want to know how you're wearing Blitz Ring on Red Mage.
