Red Mage Changes

[Sylvain]

in 5.0 we might see a support healing spell or two but if we do they need to have either:

No effect on a RDM's personal DPS or as situationally effective as Vercure for Dualcast proc without a target.

I agree, any more healing utility must not impact their dps.
Just give them their version of Mantra as a Vermedica as an ability (so weavable) would probably do the trick.

Even if it had something like 50% of Indomability potency once a minute that would be quite something. Especially if SE continue with mechanic requiring everyone to be at 100%


As a side note, why so much focus on RDM AoE capability?
I mean, unless they add-in an AoE phase os12-secondpart where you need to AoE for so long that you could generate 2 moulinet rotation, compared to their single target issue, it seems a bit trivial. Or perhaps people were talking about some sort of expert-roulette meta , dunno if it's a thing, maybe.

To me, the fact that their single target dps buff aren't significant enough is the main issue.
I was really hoping for more, like 320 or 330 for Thunder/Aero and an Embolden buff too, like 15-20% (to make it not so utterly trash) or perhaps the same with a reduced CD / affecting all type of dmg.
