Red Mage: I am not a Back line class

[fusional]

except... we do need another back line class/job. so if red mage isn't a back line class/job, and we need a back line class/job, then you also shouldn't have any qualms with devs pushing back its implementation until well after 2.0, correct?

Agree with this, I think Green mage, Beastmaster or Summoner need to be priorities before Red Mage.

Green Mage would be my choice, Time magic (Slow, Stop, Haste) and umbral/astral magic.

I had a few ideas for rdm skills(not in learned order)

1. DBL Cast

2. Poison Thrust (ws)

3. Silence Flurry (ws)

4 Death Blossom (ws)

5. Blinding Thrust(ws)

6. Paralyzing Flurry(ws)

7. Water

9. Watera

10 Enwater

11 Enfire

12. Faith ( Increases magic attack power)

13. Bravery (Increases Attack power)

That's all i could think of for now i wanted the last 2 spots to be reserved for skills and not more spells if you have any other suggestions add them. also this would be for the base class and not rdm, also i think the job rdm should have the two sub classes of lnc/whm

Hmm not enough en spells, its makes the class too situational IMO, you would need all of them, DBL cast could be a combo effect.

I would rather see RDM weapons skills have elemental DoT's like Drown, Choke, Frost etc than enfeebling, we already have those through other classes.

If Green Mage was a back line class then I would like to see silence, paralyze and posion for that instead.
