Another... Red Mage Concept

Thanks for great feedback. This is my first time making up ideas for possible classes/jobs in this game and to be honest I had quite a bit of fun with it. I aimed to provide mainly some core "suggestions" to how RDM "could" be in this game.

In my head the pulse concept was the only way I could achieve RDM using sword skills over magic and still provide the magic aspect of the job to the skills, if that makes sense...
I can see how you think some skills would be overpowered when used in conjunction with other classes skills, which I do realise I need to work on and on the other side, some skills being unused due to it's lack of usefulness.

The %'s of the buffs and such were just thrown in there and I didn't really do any math as such.

My vision is a simple one - A rapier wielding mage, focusing on sword play as it's main damage, whilst weaving controlled and precise magics to further enhance either himself or party members... and this is what I came up with ^^b

Again thanks for the feedback, I can see by you sig that you quite a RDM enthusiast? So I'm glad that you at least provided some feedback without throwing a brick at my face.

The only way I'd throw a brick at you would be if you asked that the job be a carbon copy of XI's RDM. You didn't, so you get to live...for now. ~_^

In all seriousness, if we were not limited to the current design you could afford to have enspells be their own spells and so on. One idea I was kicking around was comboing an elemental sword skill to grant you the enspell effect (similar to how you get Greased Lightning when you finish a MNK combo). Something like Soul Thrust => Burning Blade => You get the Enfire effect for 24 seconds or something.
