Unique Ways RDM can utilize it's Manameter

[Kurando]

Should it be considered for Embolden to be effected by the RDM's current mana levels?

The reason I mention it is because Embolden benefits are quite restricted, the RDM gets the perks of increased magic damage but only physical type allies get any kind of bonus from it. I know you could argue that the percentage it increases the damage by is a lot which slowly decreases but compared to something like Litany, Voice or Aetherpact, everyone in the party can benefit from those. So perhaps Emboldens effect could be customised using either Light or Dark Mana that could be useful to everyone depending on the situation.

That is a very neat idea. Embolden having an additional effect to party member's determined by the meter.

I just chose Haste / Temper seeing they were fun classic's from previous FF games.

The % numbers may be a bit overboard, but then again it's just a fun post, not fully being realistic. Seeing SE FFXIV is so balance oriented; but the idea I enjoy. RDM was a great enhancing job, why not bring some of that back to its nature.

Thanks for all the replies=)

Wouldn't this make it even more restrictive, though. While you'd be forced finally to prioritize your own burst over your party's, I imagine it'd only be an rDPS nerf, as it'd have to be balanced around its greatest theoretical benefits, yet would rarely be able to reach those circumstances.

This part would be nice, though. I'd love to have situationally- and macrorotationally-dependent optimal choices, each closely competitive over time, for how to deploy my Embolden.
