Red Mage thread

yeah i dont expect too much utility for RDM being a DPS, I think it should cover the basics since red magic apparently is a mix of white and black, according to the lore for this iteration. That being said, id be totally satisfied if it were given some utilities in that veign, just not enough to overshadow healers at all.

In this iteration, "White Magic" Also encompasses Stone, Aero, and Water.
So technically, if it had no support, no buffs, no heals, and just elemental attack magic, it would still be able to be half white magic. :/

Yes, it could mean how they pull in elemental aether and then transform it through an umbral.astral type, or pretty much anything at this time. But I feel like theyll add some restorative properties to a redmage, every DPS like was stated before, has its utilities, like rez, phusik, etc. So we will have to see...2 more days we may know more

Maybe the come back of Dispel (that monk lost).
As it will probably be a Pure DPS i would think of a self-buffer (haste/phalanx/refresh/regain/etc....) to enhance his damages (i would also really enjoy if they add Enspell to the list !!).

I unlocked Red Mage in Mobius Final Fantasy and the gameplay of that job was very similiar to what was shown in the trailer video.
Mid range attacks that sometimes closes in on the enemy to deal physical damage, WoL's weapon also changes form depending on how close he is to an enemy.

I wonder if XIV's dev team got inspiration from that.
