My desired changes for Red Mage in patch 7.0

[keeper_of_moon]

Red Mage is currently in a weird spot where it's only desirable to have one in the party if multi-res is needed. It does not deal much more damage than Summoner...

Rdm currently doesn't deal more damage than smn both in rdps (dead last) and adps (only above brd and dnc).

(I don't know why they changed from ranged to melee, now it's useless)

Enchanted reprise is ranged. Agree tho, it's almost as bad as scathe.

Executing Verraise increases the MP cost by 2400 for 60 seconds, up to 9600.

Just get rid of dual-cast raise. It's already widely unnecessary in normal content and countered in high-end with body checks.

Now, besides the three Mana Stacks, you can also get a White Mana Stack and a Black Mana Stack. Executing Verholy will grant you a White Mana Stack while executing Verflare will grant you a Black Mana Stack. Having both will allow you to use Verultima.

So rdm monk? I'd be down for that.
