Rebalancing and Redesigning Red mage (Suggestion)

[Malamasala]

I get the first two, but the "out-nuke" bit doesn't really make sense to me. Unless you mean physical spells, being extremely limited by casting range and selection of elements pretty well sinks Blue Mage's battleship compared to any other job with magical damage.

If you do mean physical spells, that's a very odd comparison.

Shock whiskars or whatever it is called can with MAB atmas do about 5000+ AOE thunder damage. I've seen BLUs kill 30 mobs instantly. I've yet to see any BLM attempt to one shot all abyssea mobs with one -ja nuke.

Of course if you just look at nuking a NM, I doubt BLU beats BLM.
