Red Mage: I am not a Back line class

[AceofRains]

Hi everyone I just wanted to pop in this thread as well and tell you about my job speculation guide. There is a page dedicated to red mage under the scout section. The guide is complete with potential abilities and descriptions that will round out the jobs in a way that matches their role in the armory system. You can find a link in my signature.

Here is a copy paste of most of the contents of the page on red mage. If you would like to know more about scout and how it shoulda be built for this job please look into my guide. There is also a section on Arcanist so you can understand the skills red mage may use from that class as well.

An interesting combo here is their ability to use the Sacred Prism with Blink, Stoneskin, Cure, or even Haste, although I believe Haste should not function under sacred prism and you will understand why when you read about time mage. On the other end, Red Mages have access to Paradigm Shift which will allow them to throw on AoE debuffs. Using enchant will open up elemental melee damage. Red Mages capitalize on their ability to quickly throw in spells while remaining a close ranged damage dealer. No more shall red mage sit in the backlines with a bare TP pool. As a thread stated on the loadstone “Red Mage: I am not a backline job”
 CNJ + ANT

-Enchant: Consume a crystal shard to enchant your weapon with elemental property.

-Translation: Convert all TP into MP.

-Chainspell: Spells may be casted without casting and recast time. Spells become stronger with each successive cast.

-Delta Strike: Deliver a three part attack that damages HP, MP, and TP.

-Free Cast: Stance that allows for movement and attacking while casting at the cost of TP consumption.
