Seeing Red - A Complete Red Mage Guide

[Elysaine]

Just arrived at 56 as Red Mage. And I have to confess... I always played healers but Red Mage is actually the first class that has me seriously considering switching to a DPS class. It rocks.

I always hated the looooooooong casts of the Black Mage, and with the Dual Cast system the Red Mage has, that's far less of an issue. Couple that with a pretty powerful heal and it makes playing a RDM a very fluid and quick experience. Only drawback for me is that the RDM doesn't have dot's to cast.

When it comes to using Swift Cast. So far I only used it a few times in fates to quickly heal the poor guy who is taking all the damage when I have to get out of the telegraphed areas. Or when I'm not paying attention and I messed up the black/white magic balance. To get faster back in balance by casting an instant Verthunder or Veraero.
