Red Mage looks Incomplete

[Duelle]

A Red Mage that actually gets to use its sword and magic and provide some utility when needed? Blasphemy!

spending roughly 18 GCDs casting and three using a sword is not what I would call good use of the sword. Melee as a whole cancels Dualcast (didn't see that auto-attacks also removed it), so you can't even mix it up between the single melee combo and building mana with spell spam.

As for MP recovery, it'd be nice if the melee combo without spell blade would recover MP, since then you'd have an actual reason to use it outside of 80/80 mana.

If red mage got a Riot Blade, the raises it could do. @-@

The nail in the coffin for that dream was seeing the live letter and them doing 74 damage autoattacks. I knew the sword would just be relegated to just a few abilities after that. What I didn't predict was the autoattacks canceling dualcast which is kind of ridiculous. It's just put in there to force a "get in range" "get out of range" mechanics to the job. A job with a sword no less.
