[Job Adjustmentｓ Manifesto] RDM Suggestions

[Coops]

all RDM needs is Cure V. Give it Cure V please!

You mean give it back, you thieving game developers! That and Amnesia(spell). That would be awesome! >.>

As goes for melee, I would like to see a native Double Attack trait (maybe...) and an enspell that is actually effected by MAB AND Enhancing Skill. Making the weapon actually glow (like Sarasinger) during this effect would look cool XP. More importantly, vorpal blade without having to sub a certain job would make meleeing more enjoyable...

Maybe that isn't what RDM actually NEEDS but it is something I would like to see lol

Edit: The Double Attack could come from Enspell t3. "Composure: Grants Double Attack." When casting it under the effect of composure (who wouldn't...) you get double attack. XD

i think cure 5 would rob whm since all that job does is cure and buff, so no rdm sch cure 5 please. on a brighter note i'd like to see rdm get tier 3 enfeebles and en-pells. The 75 merits for para/slow/blind2 would be changed to paralyze enffebing magic boast, blind magic booast. etc, thereby giving a generic modifier to all tier paralyze or whatever spell relates. Or, at 99, you could get a 99merit for paralyze that effects or improves paraylze two, etc. The en-spells need adjustment no matter what. Pld and Drk have a potent en-spell, its time duelists recieve there due. Also, a more power version of our spike spells would be nice, such as a tier 2. And for those who compain and cure 5, we still get cure 4 without a sub job. I'd also like to see some fencing aromor for rdm, something that goes with the job discription

The problem is that Red Mage lacks a spell library to actually excel at enhancement nearly as well as it does at enfeebling, as much as its skill rating in enhancment would lead one to believe that it is the job's raison d'etre. Furthermore, no enhancements spells have been cited as "Example Adjustments."

There is too much overlap between Red Mage and White Mage to suggest that Enhancing Magic is the speciality that it should be. Both get Protect and Shell, bar spells and Haste. The only unique spell it gets is Refresh II, as Phalanx has been given natively to Paladin.

Red Mage should get Haste II, and White Mage should not, so that Red Mage brings something unique to the table that the job is purported to be about, and is within The Vision. Phalanx III would be a good thing for the same reason. This would help to solidfy Red Mage as a buffer/debuffer, rather than a poor man's White or Black Mage.

Furthermore, Scholar's Accession should allow for more spells to be AOE. Some may indeed enjoy helping their friends become stronger in battle, but there is just no reason to make it tedious by doing it one person at a time, one spell at a time. This should apply not just to the new spells I'm proposing, but earlier versions, i.e. Haste and Refresh II.

As far as Enfeebles go, I don't think "Stop" would be overpowered, considering that some jobs can have "En-death," via certain weapons, and Death-ga a la Odin. "Stop" honestly seems feeble, as it were, by comparison.

Please no melee buffs for rdm their place is in the backlines, not the frontlines meleeing.

I'm doubting you even have RDM leveled with comments like this.

You should really stop talking

Edit: When i finish farming on BLU how about i show you all my RDM gearsets since you'll probably accuse me of changing data on ffxiah to make it think i have 90 RDM.

Wow, look at all those 90's. You Aby burned RDM, didn't you? It's ok, I Aby-burned my DRG, and DNC. Nothing wrong with that if that's the case, I'm just saying it's understandable if all you did to get to 90 was stand in one spot and help heal/open chests. My DRG and DNC are sitting on the sidelines until I have proper gear for them, capped skills, and time available to go out and learn the jobs right.

I'm all for RDM being these big, great Enhancing Kings SE thinks we are, if we actually had the spells natively to do so. You shouldn't need any specific subjob to do what the job was intended in the first place(whm for enhancing).
