Why is RDM invisible right now? Where is the outrage?

As long as red mage can throw out as many instant raises as it currently can it'll remain training wheels.



Red mage doesn't really have on demand movement other than Swiftcast and Enchanted Reprise. Red mage has to hard cast something to get Dual Cast, so it's not on demand at all. And since Dual Cast is used a soon as it is generated there are certainly times when the red mage has to move and does not have time to do a hard cast. Not to mention fights where movement is longer than a GCD.

Red mage can move more frequently than other casters, but it's not on demand movement. So fights like Eden and Titan where there's phases with a ton of movement the red mage is going to be resorting to Enchanted Reprise since they'll likely be unable to safely get off a hard cast.

if the problem is Dualcast Verraise, why not just adjust Dualcast to just reduce spell cast times by 5s? It still makes Thunder and Aero instant, but doesn't do much for Verraise. Boom, training wheels gone, RDM can be a functional caster without "but muh raise" being an issue.

Honestly, the best option is to just make Raise a magical ranged role action. Raise is always going to be a problem balancing.
