Red Mage

I'm surprised no one has brought up the chrysalis fight and the fact he uses double and triple cast (red Mage moves in tactics).

I see red Mage having weak spells, both healing and nuking, and using double and triple cast mechanics to make them powerful through casting them in quick succession.

I always thought Double/Triple to be BLM abilities more lol

That ability in the hands of a player character is a little overpowered, since you'd have a spell or ability being done three times at full power with individual chances of critical hit on each. Not even just in PvE, but a RDM with Double or Triple as seen in Chrysalis would be overpowered as hell in PvP.

FFXI ptsd coming back... "RDM HASTE HEAL AND REFRESH ONLY! NO ATTACKING, NO DIA OR BIO, AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT ENTHUNDER AND MELEEING!"

Those are wounds that'll never heal, friend.

Not necessarily, if you remember BLU from ffxi, there were a lot of moves that seemed like they would be OP if a player used them but actually weren't since we didn't have the stats the monsters do.

Shock may be 2k per cast when he uses it but if the player version was, say, a 100 potency nuke, then under double cast it would only be 200 potency and 300 under triple cast.

If double cast was a 30 sec or 1 min cooldown and triple cast a 2-3 min cooldown that would be pretty tame.
