Red Mage thread

It only takes 1 spell to have utilty healing. Casters have one now from either being ACN or from cross class, its just failed to scale with what ilvl does to our max hp. So it wouldn't even need to be a native red magic spell per se. So long as there was a way to leverage the stat that powers it, or said spell's very poor scaling was fixed in either the 4.0 battle skill review/purge or cross role skill system re-org.

Ah, alright. They way I was reading some of the posts made it sound as if players were expecting a unique RDM healing spell that scaled well, and that the RDM would be expected to use (if somewhat reluctantly as is the case with some abilities/skills -- e.g. Feint, etc.) on other players.

No, I think they were expecting something more akin to Light of the Protector from WoW.

Calls down the Light to heal you for 30% of your missing health. 15 second cooldown.

More like Flash of Light or Healing Surge. Expensive to cast and have an opportunity cost (ret paladins can cast 3 or 4 before going OOM and it's not very powerful when compared to what a healer can do; enhance shaman have to sacrifice their unique resource in order to insta-cast it, which is better spent on their DPS skills).

This. I'd hope for either an ability that scales well but comes with resource cost or something akin to a Sheath of Light & Art of War era Flash of Light on a Retribution Paladin. I'd like it to be about as good as our dps time/resources spent when the healers and/or tanks really know how to make a lot out of it, but should otherwise be situational.
