Seeing Red - A Complete Red Mage Guide

[Garotte14]

TLDR: You guys think its a good idea to spend mana on a single part of combo just to decrease it to levels where we can use Manafication+Embolden without having to delay it?

In a nutshell, no. Using the first part of your combo isn't very potent. Also, Manafication does nothing but double the gauge. Meaning, you don't need Manafication + Embolden to happen at the same time. Also, it doesn't take too long to build up your gauge from 30 to 80. If you are wasting 30 mana to only use Riposte, you are losing dps.

I completely understand your logic and how you came to that conclusion. But no, you should never only be doing half of your full combo.

i dont understand how it would be a loss of DPS though, wouldnt it be a larger loss of DPS to have to hold Manafication? Also ideally im pretty sure you want to keep embolden and manafication synched right? I mean manafication directly enables the situation you want to use embolden on.

Ill try to math it out today but I really do think it is worth it to spend excess blackwhite mana to get yourself to 40ish on each so that you can pop embolden and manafication together as they come off CD every time.

Also can we please ignore Silverquick, arguing with him is a waste of time and space
