The Problem with Red Mage . . .

[tyrantsyn]

I see this is a body on that meeble thing on the Test Server.

Vara Brigantine :
HP+35 STR+6 DEX+12 VIT+12 AGI+6 INT+6 MND+6 CHR+6 Attack+14 Ranged Attack+14 "Store TP"+5
WAR, RDM, THF, PLD, DRK, BST, BRD, RNG, SAM, NIN, DRG, BLU, COR, DNC

Decent Chant Du Cygne for RDM?

That's kind of a whacky piece of gear. Stat's are pretty solid. you omitted def and lvl tho?

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.
