Samurai and Red Mage

[Shurrikhan]

So, super spitball idea here; feel free to smite me if it's idiocy is too obvious...

Should RDM actually get a significant "Acceleration" aspect to its toolkit that applies to just about anything and everything, allowing it potentially to dish out not only more Manafication uses over a fight, but also more Role Actions for supportive or self-sustaining purposes?

I'm afraid I don't fully understand your meaning here; could you elaborate a bit? From what I understand, you're saying something along the lines of Acceleration making Manafication's CD drop?

I've nothing concrete yet. Essentially, though, I'm playing around with the idea of RDM being able to chip away at current recast times or reduce incoming recast times through a larger interaction with the idea of "Acceleration". This needn't remove the current ability, and may even play around with it, specifically, but it'd essentially be expanding on the existing theme. Everything else is variable at the moment, save that it'd have to find a way to be uncomplicated in itself and there'd have to be multiple wholly competitive options for how the mechanic is worked towards or spent; if Embolden or Manafication were the only worthwhile choices, the mechanic would fall flat and term solely into a throughput increase. But, if "done right" (and, again, I've no idea how to do this at the moment), it could insert considerable flexibility into its means of personal dps OR raid support, and through varying means each.

It's probably something best left for 5.0 at the soonest, regardless; I'm just curious if the idea would even feel "RDM".

Shes probably referring to Haste like support.
