6.0 Red Mage speculation

[Rongway]

I would just like them to knock 5 seconds off the recast timers of the dash and jump back. The amount of times i've hit 80/80 and they still have 1 or 2 seconds cool down is really high.

Park in melee range by default. Don't be out of melee range except to handle specific mechanics.

Part of high level RDM is when you get to 81|80 with Displacement still 2s out deciding if you should start your combo and Engage immediately on cooldown, or if you can manage a Swiftcast Verslowspell-Displacement Verfastspell-Verslowspell-CorpsACorps before starting your combo.

That timespan 2-3 GCDs before reaching 81|80 up to 2-3 GCDs after reaching it is when we make the only real decisions of consequence. The rest of the job is so easy anyone can fumble through it.
