[dev1024] Job adjustments - RDM

[Duelle]

To answer your questions about the new red mage spell Temper...

This is going to be a self-target spell only and cannot be made into an AoE spell via SCH's Accession.

Firstly, I am happy to see we didn't get yet another spell to cycle. At least that has gotten through to the devs, it would seem.

Secondly, I can interpret this one of two ways. Either there's something in the works that'll let RDM project or share their self-buffs with other party members, or RDM melee is about to get a buff to help make it a real contender in the front lines.

Either way, do me a favor, Camate, and ask them devs what they think of an ability to lessen our burden when rebuffing. My idea for a JA called Readiness is somewhere in one of the threads on the RDM boards. Could be useful and yet another step in that direction.

Edit: To prevent misunderstandings - Even with Composure's lengthening the effects of buffs, there's still the issue of time lost when rebuffing. A melee RDM usually has Enspell, Haste, Refresh, Phalanx to recast. Would be nice to have an ability to shorten the time spent rebuffing to give us more uptime doing other things, be it melee, heal or whatever. As I suggested it, Readiness would add the cast times of up to four enhancing spells and cast those on self. It'd be basically us gaining the effect of four spells at the same time (without the burden of multi-casting or spell effects stacking on each other, as Readiness could have its own animation effects). Just tossing that out to you.
