SAMURAI SHOWDOWN

A rundown of White Magic, since you already said you don't know much about FF series, is that it contains 2 aspects of Magic and does not cover only Healing Magic.

Recovery Magic is the Healing skills you are speaking about and is what White Magic is commonly known for but there is also Support Magic which is the Protection/Damage Reduction aspect of White Magic.

I am speaking more about Red Mage Tank using more of the Support aspect of White Magic such as using White Magic skills such as Deflect to reflect certain attacks back at enemies for a short time and Shell to place a Magic Barrier around themself to improve their own defense. They can use Crusade as their Aggro grab skill if they lose aggro on a enemy and use skills like Dia to allow them to cause more damage on their targets for easier aggro generation through damage.

I see, sounds great! I was kinda hoping DRK would be a tank that would facilitate their mp to create magic barriers like galvanise from sch. Sounds like RDM might actually fulfil that tank I was hoping for, using mp to create barriers.
