Ashelia Dalmasca was considered a red mage under the "correct" build in ff12 according to their own ff wiki sources, she later changed in the ds version for revenant wings or whatever it was labeled as for the "sequel"

It is how I indeed played her for the fact I hated vaan...

my line up was ashe as tank/mage and had penelo and balthier for my 2 others....

but yes red mage as far as I understand can tank just fine with certain skill allowances...


dunno if they will allow it here...been waiting for musketeer for almost 4 years...
