And again, paladin suffers the same consequences you just outlined for RDM. Literally any job sacrificing a GCD suffers these consequences. This is not a unique RDM issue.

I accept responsibility for not seeing your walk-backs. Sorry about that.

Also, I forgive you for forgetting I responded to your initial post. See? Is it so hard to forgive somebody for a mistake?

It is a uniquely Red Mage issue, however, because the melee combo is mobility. Mobility for casters is of supreme importance. Missing the melee combo when one needs to move means missing more casts, which puts the job even further behind. It's a cascading issue; it snowballs. Paladin doesn't have the same issue to the same extent given that it's 100% mobile now, especially now that Requiescat buff gives it instant cast Holy Spirit (and Clemency, and those clemencies are buffed too and don't hold the PLD back from being able to use Confiteor at the end.)

Have a good day o/ Hopefully you can reconcile why the devs let PLD be awesome in its role while having access to Clemency, but making Red Mage the weakest with vercure outlined as a reason.
