Red Mage Love Thread

I don't bother with drain at all, if I need a self heal I use Vercure. I am curious what other RDMs use for cross class though, my current set up is Lucid Dreaming, Swift Cast, Apoc, Addle, and Erase.

The only difference between yours and mine is that I swap out Apoc for Diversion. If all the cooldowns are up at the start of a boss fight it makes it hard on a tank >

VERY true, I usually find that Lucid Dreaming on CD is enough to stay behind the tank in enmity though, at least while leveling.

I'm really loving the job. It's just so fun, dancing all over the battlefield with spells and blade flying. Manafication at 60 really sped things up even more for me and now I can't wait till I get 70 and have the full kit.

Love the sword staff too, that's really creative.

Lucid dreaming cuts your enmity in half, given rdm doesn't have bad mp problems you can pop it after an opening burst. In anything where pulling hate for a few seconds might matter some you'd likely have a tank who you can coordinate with. Basically let rdm burst, provoke, lucid and good to go. Part of the reason for me is I just feel a bit slot starved. Lucid, erase, and swiftcast are required.Surecast is pretty powerful now, likewise apoc and addle are going to be used on magical fights, and rdm probably could manage to use mana transfer.
