Red Mage: I am not a Back line class

[Bled]

Yeah I tried wrapping my head around possible ways to incorporate black and white magic into the mix, but the way FFXIV is setup it makes it almost impossible to do without making it's own spells and abilities. The problem with that is you might end up with another situation like the whole WAR/PLD debacle where RDM steals WHM or BLMs position in a group, or you make the job so under-powered in comparison nobody will want it.

I thought the easiest way to get around the whole thing was just fit it in a role that isn't being taken at the moment and just have ways to supplement playstyle.

Well seeing as to the best of my knowledge there has only been one traditional full Fencer job in all of FF (aka Fencer in FF tactics) i would base the class abilities around that, where as the job unlock wold be more singularly focused RDM spells and abilities.

Another branch off the Fencer class instead of RDM could be the Elementalist from FF tactics.

The only reason i bring up FF tactics (twice) is because it has one of the widest arrays of FF jobs.
