Seeing Red - A Complete Red Mage Guide

so more stupid questions.

does Dualcast effect Verraise?

asking, cause I'm wondering if it worth it to carry Swiftcast.

also, I completely forget that I have Addle. what is the usage case for it, or should I be picking a different skill? currently I am using Addle, Lucid Dreaming, Mana Shift, Diversion, and Swiftcast for my role skills. should I change this?

Those are the role skills i find best.

Think of swiftcast as a second form of acceleration. "Your next VerAero or Thunder is instant cast. There is a 50% chance to proc verfire or verstone ready." The less you have to cast jolt the more damage you do.

Swiftcast is also good for getting a quick 11 more mana to reach your combo or to help balance it out.

You may find it useful for knockback mechanics when dual cast isn't set up. Swiftcast->veraero/thunder->corps for example.

When two party members die at once, namely your healers, jolt II-> verraise->swift->Verraise.

And oh yes. Verraise is definitely affected by dual cast.

what is the usage case for Addle? I took it as one of my role skills, but I've literally never used it. when(and on what) am I supposed to use it?

on what is easy to say, on the boss obviously :3
when:
allways when the whole raid is going to get dmg, so that the dmg will not be that high and cause of that helping the healers or ethen helping other raid members if they weren't full life/had vulnerability stacks

@KaisaaVonFaust
I actually like more speed as well, you get faster to your melee combo and it feels so much more fluent for me now.
but every class that has a gauge to full is very happy with speed in generall right now, cause you fill it faster that way
we as rdm might have a breaking point at which we can get another cast under embolden as well so yeah, im certainly not going to avoid speed
the rest of my stats are close to yours and i think its stronger that way than just going straight for DH or CRT

[KaisaaVonFaust]

@lienad Thank you very much for the response! I completely agree. Just most things I read say to avoid SPS. I just wanted to make sure I'm not alone haha.

I didn't use Addle at all until O3s. In O3s, I use Addle on the White Flame add (first add of the fight) since it does such a large amount of damage to the off-tank. I also use Addle in the final phase when the boss does the "blue square" (stand on blue squares for safe spot) mechanic as this does significantly more damage than when this mechanic first appears earlier in the fight. It can also be difficult to top the raid before the aoe damage since people may move to different squares or be late in arriving to the square.
