Red Mage: Potential adjustments

[Kalaam]

Eh, kinda-ish. The Red Battlemage Job Board is very heavily focused on Magic, namely Black Magic, White Magic, and a hell of a lot of Magick Lore to increase the strength of their spells. They get some other minor magic, like a bit of Green Magic (particularly Oil because it makes Ardor go boom) and Time Magic, as well as a few Battle Lore to boost physical damage, but it's intended to be a spellcaster. A popular Job combination does have it getting paired with the Shikari which makes it an incredibly strong Tank (equip Main Gauche for +50 Evasion, equip a Shield for more Evasion, cast Protect, laugh when enemies can't hit you), so it does get played in Melee if you go with that pairing. Either way, Red Battlemage by itself, ignoring Job combinations, is primarily a spellcaster.

Thanks, I'll try that build next time I reinstall the game.
