Red Mage: I am not a Back line class

[Duelle]

Idm if RDM is front line, JUST KEEP YOURSELF REFRESHED and hasted.

Fixed.

Looks like I didn't have to return to keep the melee movement going. Kudos to the OP for having the guts to get this thread started. Now with that in mind...

What I would like to see is SE play to RDM's hybrid nature by allowing two classes to equip a RDM crystal. One of them being Fencer, the other being Conjurer. Obviously, when Fencer has the RDM crystal, the result would be a melee mage that focuses on dealing elemental magic through sword strikes as well as enfeebling with very minor and limited support. CON using a RDM crystal could then yield a support-based caster that focuses on staying in the back and using spells.

The only thing that is VERY risky about the above is that desperation for healers may cause one to be preferred over the other, whereas I would want both to be useful so that there is no overlap between FNC/RDM and CON/RDM when both are in a party. I'll have to go back and mull over some of the suggestions I've made since these forums began and see what works. I hadn't realized the weapon classes had been notably trimmed in terms of abilities and spells, for one.
