RDM attack boost

[Alkimi]

nor would anyone want a spell that only lasts 30 seconds to cast on party members.

Wasn't RDM in the DAT's as getting a spell called Berserk.

There's still 2 spells in the dats called Might and Faith which probably enhance attack and magic attack respectively.

10,0000000 gil if added they go to SCH or WHM.

Bet they're merit spells along with Arise and Meteor.

This is a foolish notion. You are 100% absolutely never going to break that mentality for a very simple reason. Red Mage is capable of restoring HP, MP, and is also capable of dramatically increasing another player's damage potential via Haste. The mentality has been established for a reason and it would take nothing short of a miracle to alter the playerbase mentality at this point.

I can see where you're coming from, but really all you're doing is advocating holding Red Mage back on the other end of the spectrum.

i was refering to SE's Current mentality, not the player bases, which has clearly already shifted in the direction that i mentioned in my prior post. please see Temper and Boost spells. leave Party Buffing to the party buffing jobs like Bard Corsair White mage and Scholar.

It's funny you mention Corsair, since it's basically everything most people want RDM to be (In Role, not Method), and it's OP as balls. It's an enhancer that can put up extremely high damage while still buffing a party with unique uberbuffs.

The only reason pirate hasn't been hit with a nerfstick to rock the ages is the fact that it cannot directly heal itself or others aside from Regen, which takes up a roll slot and the natural limitations of luck-based rolls themselves.

if i had to bet, i'd wager the real reason corsair is under the radar is somehow connected to the fact that i only know 1 corsair who owns bullets.........

Ha! Fair enough. Don't tell anyone, but COR can solo better than RDM and has always been able to do so - since long before the 80+ cap increases. It's just expensive as balls and fairly complex (on a ffxi scale) to play well so only really loaded and experienced players pick it up and manage to be any good at it.

If we ever got any targeted healing or direct enfeebling abilities, we'd be in serious trouble.

Edit: Of course, Red Mage already has "enfeebling" and targeted healing, so we're kinda screwed on that front. I don't see Barance-san cowtowing on that too easily.
