Personally, I love Red Mage. I like the concept, and the melee/ranged aspect of the job, and I enjoy being able to provide utility. I do think the DPS output should be boosted slightly in order to make the job more viable for endgame content, and I'd very much like another AoE because Twelve know spamming Scatter endlessly is kind of tedious. My other main is Bard, and after pressing every button on my three hotbars throughout a raid (okay, I'm exaggerating slightly), it's nice to have a less...busy job to play for a while.
