Lets Talk - Red Mage

[fusional]

I want to see a red mage that's radically different than xi. I want it to be a fast attacking rapier class that uses enhancing magic like en-spells, haste, and offensive magic combos off of weapon skills.

It can also have debuffs like slow, bio, gravity and other debuffs attached to weapon skills. But I want them to be rapier based above everything. Red mages do not belong in the back

"i want to see an overpowered frontline blm" is all i'm getting from this

Ikkenoe has a point. how do you people plan to balance this class if it works the way you want it to?

They could always push into the whole fast cast thing again, I think that was a really cool perk to RDM that kinda reflected back to the dual cast of FFV.

yeah, fast cast was good. though i remember reading some interview a while back where yoshi stated there won't be any haste-like mechanics in the game? but maybe (hopefully) he's changed his mind or was just talking about 1.0
