Red Mage could use some help.

If Dualcast became similar to Lightspeed in that it only cuts 5s from the next spell's cast time, I think it'd be a fine system. That way, they can't just spam rezes all the time.

Though, I could see Verraise not be tampered with as death is already too punishing for a chunk of classes (particularly Dragoon and Summoner) to really consider it a massive boon, and just increase the rDPS or personal DPS.

At the very least, make Embolden the 20% that was originally promised and make it apply to mages. The drop off is a dumb mechanic in Embolden's current state.

That change would not make much difference. After 5 sec you only have 2 - 3 sec raise cast depending spell speed so you lose at the best 0.5 sec between raises, if your spell speed is 0.

Mmm. Sorry, that's not actually true. Verraise's base cast time is a whopping 10s. As in, at 1812 Spell Speed, you'd still be stuck with a 4.12s cast time if you shave off 5s.

I chose 5s because that's the base cast time for Verthunder/Veraero, in the same way that Light Speed shaves off 2.5s for all spells for AST while under its effect. You'd have something effectively Instant, but not instant for everything.

That is actually true, I remember all raises was 8 sec.

[EllieShadeflare]

Yeah, that is a fair assumption. Everyone but RDM has an 8s raise. It's almost like Dualcast WAS supposed to be a 5s shave, but they didn't properly implement it.
