Reinvent Red Mage Enfeebling, Enhancing, and Healing: New "EMBEDMENT" Ability

Hiya King

Not to rain on a great idea but SE made it pretty clear they don't want aura's with RDM. Tho I will give you much credit for such a clever way of getting it in there. As always you illustration are awesome.

Hook me up with a link to where they said that please, since I'm sure it's buried by now in the ocean of post.

Thanks for the compliment /

It was back when I requested the ability for RDM to aoe it's spells. That was under Tanaka though where Red Mage was thought to be "very powerful -.-". Matsui has indicated a more open mind to changing things in the game so I do believe the idea should be revisited. I've posted a somewhat lengthy post in the "what would you want" thread the CR's made for Matsui.

Personally I always wanted a "Spell Blade" ability similar to COR's QD. Instead of using cards it would consume the RDM's current enspell effect to produce a magic nuke (or enfeeble idea). RDM casts Enblizzard, use's "Spell Blade" JA (charge based like COR's) and *poof* Tier IV nuke damage or some sort of effect.

GEO is getting it now though, so they took the idea again and gave it to another job.

Red mage was designed to be proficient in the ways of enfeebling magic and single-target/self enhancements. Magic spells were split so that red mages focused on single-target magic, while white mages excelled in AoE magic.

In regards to Haste specifically, the stats surrounding the spell were created for a single target in mind, so for balance reasons we have no plans to make it possible to turn it into an AoE spell.

Due to this, we do not have plans of allowing red mage spells to simply be changed into AoE spells.

Here you go, like I said, like the idea. It's very clever. But it was made clear way back than that it's not what there idea of RDM is. If we should be fighting for something new, it should be single target spell's that out preforms/stronger than there aoe counter parts. As is, there's no job that really excels in that department.
