Red Mage looks Incomplete

[Vexander]

Red mage was completely REMADE for this game, it will not be like the other games, yoshi said he felt like the red mage from other games would not fit. this job we weren't even going to get in the beginning, originally they where planing for oracle which was also going to be completely remade for this game. he wanted them to be unique to this game. red mage was also a last second job pick for who would be the second class. he said they almost didn't even put in a second job because they couldn't decide.

And this doesn't really address anything in the first post of the thread. Did you read it or did you feel like just... saying a lot of stuff anyone who has kept up with Red Mage already knows?

Yes, Red Mage isn't going to be like the last games, we've known that. That doesn't address issues like lack of defensive cooldowns or built-in MP management, something both classes RDM is being designed around -for this game- have. If Red Mage is the love-child of White Mage and Black Mage, why doesn't it have a single damage mitigating cooldown such as both White and Black Mage have? Or an MP generator like White Mage and Black Mage have?

well since red mage's skills build / run off the gauge and is all subject to change still plus it is also a melee and all the spells weren't listed but this does have a giant list if you want to go through them all, i was simply stating that it was completely redone for this game in retrospect that some people believe it should be like other games. also this may or may not help ya.

There seems to be a decent amount of time that Rdm will spend in melee range.

I can understand the concern over a dedicated mana regen ability, but if a good portion of their dps is coming from TP related abilities, Then perhaps mana is less of an issue and Class shared abilities will be sufficient to supplement it.

Just a thought.
