Red Mage is Range Combat? (Discussion)

I'm going to be very pissed if RDM doesn't have support healing skills.


RDMS ARE MEANT TO BE HYBRIDS

They won't. Pure DPS. A hybrid job would not work in FFXIV, Yoshi P stated this in an interview. The absolute most i expect to see is that they can cross class with THM/CNJ and get swiftcast/raise/cleric stance/cure. If they're an int job like we suspect, cleric stance will work backwards and turn it into MND, thus empowering cure. At most i'd expect them to be a last effort emergency healer.

They played on the words used to describe RDM to bend it to fit the game. "They use both white and black magic" turned into "They use both white and black magic...fused together". Lest we not forget that white magic in this game is not all restorative spells.

I'm sure there will be a nod to their traditional hybrid white magic skills, they'll probably have some sort of defensive cooldown/self heal.
