The Problem with Red Mage . . .

[Daniel_Hatcher]

So essentially, the brigandine is the only thing interesting coming our way. Anyone has pics on it yet?

pictures? It's that red and white suit thing... This > http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Brigandine

Forgot to mention: There is a Fast Cast neck for all jobs - couldn't see if anyone checked potency.

Heres hoping it beats out an Augmented Jeweled Collar~.

I hope the new brigadine isnt as terrible looking as the old one. That said, yeah, i wore one while leveling. Which is exactly why i want the new one to look better.

[ManaKing]

yeah pretty much that's why i wanted pics if they were different

The icon is the same. No one's posted a picture with it equipped though.

I've added a few more that you left out:

10371: Veikr Pumps Rare Exclusive
Feet
DEF:22 HP+25 MP+25
Enfeebling magic skill +12
Enmity-3 Haste+2%
Lv99 WHM BLM RDM PLD DRK SMN BLU SCH

Not sure if these pumps are a side-grade to other gear RDM cna wear for enfeebling, but extra haste in an enfeeb set with the new enfeeb system can't hurt?

10395: Lasaia Pendant Rare Exclusive
Neck
DEF:7 Magic accuracy+1 Enmity-8
Lv99 WHM BLM RDM BRD SMN BLU SCH

Just in case you need -enmity? could be useful in a main-heal situation.

10443: Bendis's Hairpin Rare Exclusive
Head
HP-50 DEX+10 AGI+10 Evasion+8
Haste+6%
Lv99 All Jobs

Looks like a nice TP/CDC/eva piece. Not sure if RDM can wear better? But certainly almost makes up for not getting to wear oce +1.

11008: Medala Cape Rare Exclusive
Back
DEF:9 "Cure" potency +2%
"Cure" spellcasting time -5% Enmity-2
Lv99 WHM BLM RDM BRD SMN BLU PUP SCH

Not the most potency available in this slot, but cast time and -enmity to boot.

[saevel]

Hairpin would be a CDC or Extenator piece and slight upgrade from Z.tiara. If it had STR, DA or Attack then it would be a decent upgrade but as it stands your looking at 5 acc while giving up 2% haste. The evade isn't really worth it considering RDM's evasion skill (or lack thereof). The brego helm would be a better TP piece.

[ManaKing]

Cure casting time cape is nice because we can cap potency without using a main or offhand now.

I'm not really sure how I feel about that hairpin. 6% haste with some stats seems okish, but it's still in the catagory with the zelus Tiara for me. You better have a really good reason to give up the stats you can get on your head for stats otherwise, because you can cap Haste without it.
