Of all these I like Hinder the best. It's a unique effect that could be very useful, which is what I'm looking for on the job. It would have to be potent initially, or let it stack.

I like the mutually exclusive Brave and Faith but as self target only. I just don't want another party buff to cycle on RDM. That's why I don't like Temper being party-castable. Yeah it would make the job more desirable in parties but after playing SCH so long after many years as RDM main, I can't stand maintaining anything but AOE enhancements anymore. But I like the idea of giving the RDM a sort of Arts but for magic vs melee instead of white vs black magic.

Ail sounds good too. SE keeps saying a plague spell would go to SCH because it's DoT but that's ridiculous to me, even with SCH being my favorite job. It strikes me as an enfeeble first, oT second.
