New Red Mage Spells

[Sunrider]

I dunno, back in the days when skilling up was really an issue, I imagine arming up with Protect, Phalanx, and Stoneskin with a Bioga followup on Mandragoras or Chigoes would have been a nice combo for Parrying or Guard.

But of course, it'd have had a rather niche use (like Diaga).

You're really basing the ability to DoT kite based on a 2-hour?

[Rooj]

Why kite, when you can straight tank?

With sch ... ya
2-3% hp dot high endgame nms is nice

sure you dont need use 2h, 5 quicknukes and chainspell nukes is enough for kite/nuke
rly why you want go with rdm when you have sch? sch can kill much faster, and with embrava and kaustra the nms turn in a joke

sure rdm kite/nuke is good, but with poison 10-20/tick and 4 nukes , you cant beat sch

found a good example on youtube solo sch kill kaggen >.<

for my rdm i wish poison3 and bio4 but i know SE .... rdm is the BEST SoLOOOOO JOB -lol

I wouldn't kite full stop, I could kill quicker solo-RDM by straight up fighting them, but basing things on a 2-hour is absurd.

[Neisan_Quetz]

Well yeah even Blm is a better solo kiter than Rdm is for older mobs

[Neisan_Quetz]

If you're not chaining solo fights, there really isn't a reason not to. Granted, If you are doing multiple solo fights you can argue for a faster solo job.

RDM/NIN is durable. I'm still a big fan of just fighting most things. But as far as magic, I would enjoy higher Tiers of Poison. I would be very happy if Bio III and Dia III stacked. It might be an actual reason to bring a RDM...honestly.

"Might" is in the .dats and has been since CoP came out. The only instance where the animation is used is when you're unlocking a Mythic WS, the Blue Mage casts it on you. It looks like you're getting hit with Thunder IV but red/blue colored lightning with a fiery effect after that resembles when you eat a meat dish food. Wish they'd implement this as a self-target "Attack Boost" spell that gives +5-20% Attack based on Enhancing Skill, would be nice for our melee for solo/lowmanning things as RDM/NIN with Almace.

Unfortunately I bet you all they're gonna implement it--as a spell for Rune Fencer. (Along with other spells in the .dats i.e Reflect, Faith, Wall)
