The Unoffical "Let's Fix Red mage" Thread

There are like 50 of these, and none of them turn up results, no point. Just go revive one of the other 50 How to fix RDM topics.

Yes, and it's posts like these that make those threads a lackluster. gibberish filled mess. please read the opening statements. I would like to be able to form a discusion that dosn't focus on one key point or get entirely derailed by trolls that care less, like you. If people can see the post and we can keep it popular well managed and maintanied we may be able to make some progress. even thought I doubt the devs will directly say there considering our ideas.

Just for the record I don't want rdm to be blu or vise versa, but both being hybrids blu is one of the most common comparisons to rdm in terms of play style, thought blu is refined by the way the player wants to configure it, a blank slate that can pretty much allow you to make your own class.

Red Mage however is not nor would ever be player defined, but could have many roles like blu does now. A skilled blu can play every role except alliance healer, and thats because our healing spells are limited to party only. This is the concept that a rdm should have always been able to preform from most rdms prospectives. having two jobs that preform simular roles but still are able to bring something unquie to the table is not a bad thing, its just that rdm falls behind every role so much thats the issue.
