[dev1115] Job Adjustments: Red Mage

[Rezeak]

@Lastranger

RDM has never EVER been an "enhancer" aka buffer job, ever. People got that idea stuck in their had back in 2003/2004 when it was BRD or RDM for "Refresh". RDM was actually shoved into the "Healer" role because they had Haste, Refresh and Cure IV and thus was useful for XP parties.

At 75 RDM's "buffs" were
Haste
Refresh
Protect
Shell
...

And now all of those are available as /RDM. Eventually SE introduced Phalanx II but at a vastly inferior level then Phalanx I.

So you can see that SE's idea of RDM is actually in line with what the job always did, RDM was never BRD, COR or WHM. The only AoE buffs RDM got was from /WHM barspells and now accession /SCH. RDM has always been about self buffing while casting enfeebling / nuking magic on the target while also casting cure spells on people.

LOL

Back in the 75 days

in exp people invited RDM over WHM cause there had Haste and Refresh which are BUFFs.... btw i main healed merits on bird as COR sooooo COR ISN'T A BUFFER by ur logic

in endgame people used RDMs because of Refresh for WHM and PLD it was vital and therefore it was a buffer job i could explain further but you thought RDM is about NUKING more than buffing others with refresh/haste/phalnx lol please RDM couldn't nuke there way out of a paper bag in endgame.
My ideas to bring RDM back "Exclusive buffs"

Finalskin (Stoneskin II)
It;s basically a 500 dmg stoneskin that can be AoEed w/ Accession or single targeted in party that only takes DMG once a person reaches 1 HP (stacks with normal Stoneskin)

Decoy
simple a buff that is single target that will negate Death via Doom or the effect Death

Goading
Gives a 10% Enmity Multiplier that breaks hate cap.

(spells can be balanced by long recasts)

As for enfeebles Dia III alone is epic when used but one spell i'd add is ....

Bypass
Removes all DMG resistance for 60 secs (NMs will not resist but will have an enhanced resistance for 4-5 mins afterwards)

if they added any of those RDM would be back in the game
