After getting Red Mage to 80 I'm not sure how I feel. On the one hand I'm glad they didn't butcher the class like some others. It basically plays the same as it did before the expansion. On the other hand I feel sad that the single target rotation will be the same as the last 2 years. (- impact + scorch) The aoe rotation is way better but I wished we would have got some interesting skills for single target. Engagement is as expected useless so far and I can already predict there won't be more than a handful of situations in which this skill will see any use. Enchanted Reprise had potential but after the nerf it's also a completely useless skill. Scorch doesn't feel really good to use. It's just 50 potency more than verflare/holy and the sound effect is awful imo. It's not satisfying to use as our big finisher. Overall I'm rather underwhelmed, especially seeing that my other caster (summoner) got a lot more attention and new interesting things. If it wasn't for the new aoe skills i would have said RDM got the worst treatment of all dps classes in the expansion. Even the aoe skills feel underwhelming. They look like less impresssive versions of thunder 4 and aero 3. I really wished they would have given us ice and water magic as aoe spells. Overall the Red Mage additions feel extremely lazy to me.
