Seeing Red - A Complete Red Mage Guide

[Seferex]

From datamining (should be on reddit), it seems that rdm's kit will be the same at release.

Question now is are the potencies correct in the tooltips? Some players had already pointed out some translation errors.
Ah well we will see in a bit

Does anyone have any idea at what the opener will be?

Excellent guide. I've seen and read a lot about RDM gameplay already, but the guide still made things clearer to me.

As a minor nitpick, the description of Manafication in this guide implies it increases black/white mana gain; whereas the italicized text below that, and the description on the official job guide, state that it doubles current levels.

VerAero
VerAero
Swiftcast
Fleche
Veraero if no stone proc verthunder if proc
Acceleration
Contresixte
Stone or fire proc if not jolt
Verthunder
Corps displacement lucid dreaming during free weave times
Verfire
Get both above 40, manafiction
Corps, Enchanted riposte, int pot enchanted zer, embolden enchanted redouble, flare holy

Is my rough guess. :] doesn't matter if you use thunder or aero to open.

You switching to Red as your main?
Just curious
I was going to but will level at same time as my blm, huhu
Thank you in advance though, you do help the community out

Yep. I'll level both RDM and BLM asap, but the goal will be to take RDM into prog. Unless it's super awful, which it doesn't look that way.

Just a note about races, with the removal of piety they have changed racial stats slightly. Theorycrafters have worked out a couple of the racial stat changes but not all of them. So those values should be subject to change.

Yep, this will be updated as soon as I have starting race attribute numbers.

I have a rough estimate what it will be. It's tricky cause it's proc based. And will also depend on party openers as well for when the optimal time to use Embolden will be. My static will test this as soon as possible and I will place a full opener into the guide.

Yeah I was waiting for official description from SE for that. I will edit. Thank you.

Potencies should all be the same. The only changes I've seen so far from the media tour has been Embolden being 10% magic instead of 20%, and the diminishing returns of Contre Sixte's AoE.
