Rebalancing and Redesigning Red mage (Suggestion)

[InfiniteKarma]

And even in FF5, Red Mages' melee damage pales in comparison to like the dozen other Job options that are more melee-focused.

Also: If RDM ever got even billing to where they could heal on par with WHM, melee on par with (I dunno, not the best example but...) PLD, and nuke on par with BLM...

Why would you invite those other jobs for anything, ever?

A job like RDM by its very design HAS to be worse at everything than a more dedicated job. :\

Because they are Better at what they do(RDM isn't suppose to be better at something or even level[even tho i said on par] its suppose to be slightly below but not far under where its useless] for example:

Random heal example
Cure ??? (both using same spell)
Potency of classes As follows:
Target of healings hp is: 1000
WHM heals for: 700
RDM heals for:450

Mob hits for: 300
Mob hits for:250

Notice how mob hits slightly under the RDM heals but has a consistency. While WHM is the better healer rdm can still step in JUST enough to keep them alive hes not taken the job away from the WHM. WHM still proves that his spot in PT is important anyone would want someone healing for 700 over 450.

I mean you don't see it the way i do and i am not sure if i could explain it any better but if people played RDM the way i explained i don't see why NOT to have one in a party its not about who does better in this case its who can cover the more GROUND and RDM definitely excels in this aspect of the job its not suppose to be better it never will be but what it loses in damage output and cure output it makes up in the sore areas of the PT i would call it the safety of the PT.

Bad case scenario:
When you have people who specialize in a job field and they are KO'd no one is going to cover down on them during a crisis(You just lost your primary expert in that field) that could be fatal in certain situations. BLM, WHM, DD, any of these KO'd in battle and you never had a rdm in the pt the party just lost major ground rdm can fill the slots temporary.

i cant see why not to have one and i am having a hard time understanding why you wouldn't either.
