The boring mage of red

[Krisom]

I actually enjoy the Job quite a lot it falls mostly in my expectations except for a few that are harder hitting than not.

What I like about the job is that for a caster it has high mobility, has pretty good healing for a DPS job added with a sprinkle of resurrection and mixed with some melee. Exactly what I expected, however its important to note I did not expect it to be this simple in terms of execution which leaves me to wonder:
Why only one combo string?
Why no positional attacks?

If we added positional attacks to the second and third part of the combo where hitting the right notes gives you black and white mana that alone would make the melee aspect more engaging and that is without the idea of giving them an extra combo for a buff or debuff.

It kind of makes me wish that the Support role was not just "Physical Ranged DPS with support abilities" - Maybe Red Mage could have been an even mix between melee and casting with the same healing but with a focus of giving a boon between magic and melee at the same time so they can fit the "Support" role.
