Seeing Red - A Complete Red Mage Guide

[Draxxion]

Enchanted Riposte is your weakest single target attack after Jolt upgrades to II. Would you rather have

+10% of your weakest attack and +8% of a Verfinisher,
or
+10% of a Verfinisher and +2% of an extra Verslowspell at the end of the duration?

It sounds funny, but before Enchanted Riposte is prolly a better choice, but not by much.


BRB, spreadsheeting to decide which is really better.

Napkin math it is a difference of 16 potency in favor of enbolden before enchanted riposte. 66 vs 50 to be exact.

Edit: Had to wait till I got home to edit this. If you still take into account an extra ability at 2% that is any where from an additonal 4 to 8.4 potency give or take to using it after enchanted riposte. That means you still have 7.6 to 12 potency more doing it before.

I tend to pop embolden pre-verfinisher anyway, as combined with manafy I can fit two verfinishers under one embolden.

Is the most optimal way to use Manafication? I was always holding off on it until I got to 40/40 for another complete melee combo.

Without accounting for the rest of the party and how you might want to fit your rotation with theirs, you get the most out of Manafication if you use it at 50|49 or 50|50. Using it at 41|40 or 40|40 is losing out on 36~40 mana.
