    That’s the problem, we needed another DPS tool. One that specifically allowed us to control our mana like MCH used to be able to control their heat.

    We didn’t get it

    I'll be honest and say Red Mage was among the least appealing of the 'trailer' shots. It's also probably going to be the last caster I level because it's just so unappealing from a class progression point. Nothing really changes.

    I think a DPS tool that serves uptime and management is doable.

    Reprise could have a scaling Mana cost (Say, 20% of current, minimum 5), with ramping potency based on said mana cost. There's the damage component. For the uptime component, have it grant Dualcast. The scaling mana cost provides a Mana dump when high, discourages continuous use, while the dualcast grant should aid greatly when dealing with Panto-style mechanics.
