Red mage 7.0 Wishlist

[jdgev]

Please no. I don't want more survivability actions to be taxed for. Just give me more dps.

You're not gonna get more DPS (relative to other jobs), because there is no way in heck they will make Red Mage deal more damage than Summoner from a design perspective. That's never going to happen because Red Mage is a hybrid support-DPS job by the jobs design, and by long standing FF tradition.

So yeah, at least give RDM:
a) More support so it justifies it's lower damage (it's not a tax it's intentional, calling it a tax is ridiculous when it's literally the jobs design to use support).
b) More tools/options to make use of their main ability: dual cast.
c) A mechanic/bar that can that be toggled between white/black magic boost like they have on PVP, boosting support abilities when White, and boosting damage when Black or altering effects of certain abilities like in PVP.

Red Mage is a jack of all trades, master of none type of job. It's never going to be a high damage dealing job, just as Black Mage will never get a heal or a res.

PS: Checked and yeah RDM is basically on par or very slightly bellow SMN in damage. Exactly as it's intended. So yeah, we aren't getting more damage unless it's by non-intentional imbalance.
