Red Mage (Tank) Please!

Snip

I just want to clarify that, while utsusemi did help, it wasnt the only reason they were good tank.
It was mostly because of the set of tool they had on their own. namely The glorious Phalanx, Stoneskin, protect/shell, and all their debuff that made the moster almost stop attaking them (slow/paralyze/blind/dia/bio) all those debuff could be merited for some more potent version of the spell. Add refresh, haste and self heal to that, they were pretty darn good tank.

I've used red mage in low man group a lot in ffxi and they were pretty fun to use as tank/self healer. This version of red mage couldnt work in ffxiv with the current set up we have, it just won't balance well, like most things that were a thing in ffxi.

Whatever they do if they implement red mage in ffxi, i will not be any of the red mage we know from previous game for obvious balance reason. But whatever they do with it ill play it. Red mage hold a dear spot in my heart.
