Red Mage

[OmegaNovaios]

The Summoner is fillimg the Red Mage slot currently but in Heavensward they are suppose to focus on Dreadwrym Trance summoning and harnessing the power of primals. Red Mage is going to be the Melee DoT caster

That literally sounds more boring than 2.0 SMN as it would also be w/o a pet even though all the pet does is auto-attack.

RDM Melee full of DoTs... I will literally commit virtual seppuku if that is the best SE can do with RDM.

dunno, sounds fine to me if done right. could have a rapier stab/bleed, poison, a fire dot (dualcast? one cast does small direct damage, the other cast leaves a dot)... along with some white magic stuff like a cure and protect/shell for a little bit of hybrid support.
