Red Mage, again?

[Nektulos-Tuor]

You know what would be funny and just drive people crazy? If they made Red Mage a great class. For the sake of argument a DPS with a heavy bit of support, really great skills, high end damage spells, cool looking melee DPS, even some healing and party healing spells, the works.... but in keeping with the lore of the Red Mage they make a third its skills INT, a third MND, and the other third STR. Make players split their bonus points three ways.... 3 Primary stats.

The Red Mage is a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none.

Which makes them a great Tank. There is no such thing as a person who can do everything in this game unfortunately.

He would be either underpowered and nobody would want one, or overpowered and he would replace everyone if he could be everything.
