What change do you want to see on your main class for Endwalker ?

I know that it is a controversial opinion, but I would find it to be of interest if Red Mage was sort of(but not in full) a "melee caster", that weaves oGCD Rapier attacks between casting spells, especially in the case of that Red Mage has a literal every other spell dual-cast, that makes every other spell cast be a instant-cast, so we could weave oGCD Rapier attacks after dual-cast, with ease.
More or less, I would just like to see Red Mage be a melee and caster hybrid, that uses Rapier skills more, along-side casting spells.

I wish so too, but the issue is that it would throw a wrench in full party content. RDM would basically take a melee's "spot" mechanic wise, it would need careful balancing.

As a rdm addict, just give me an aoe finisher, thats it

please
please
please

dont curse this job with a DoT.

If Red Mage ever gets a DoT it would likely be attached to their finisher as the balanced mana option to VerFlare/Holy, or added as VerAero/Thunder alternatives with equivalent potency. Either way it wouldn’t be a 100% uptime thing. The only useful purpose a DoT could serve within RDM’s rotation is as a way to delay or manipulate B/W mana generation or procs. I could see other options for mana generation but that’s the reason I would add one at all.

In general, DoTs tend to just be (1) soft CDs and (2) available once per per n targets. While that's hardly inherently interesting, it's far from inherently damaging either, so long as mobs tend to last more than their duration's time and the playflow isn't paced/framed around their being always up.

A dot being a finisher resulting from perfect balance between black and white mana would be a pain to manage. The easiest way to do it would be to just cap out at 100 and overflow.
Applying it would also be very awkward depending on the mechanic's timing etc, needing a 10 seconds long rotation (with very specific ressource managment) to apply 1 DoT is...I dunno... bad ? xD

[WildTamarind]

Call me crazy but I want that rdm dot to be at the end of a two part melee combo. Thats all I need. Just one more very simple melee combo and rdm is complete to me. Well maybe moulenet finisher.

[WildTamarind]

Doesnt even have to be a dot. Maybe after the two part combo theres a buff or debuff added into the mix.

[Daws]

I thought about adding a dot to RDM but then SMN and BLM have dots so it'd be nice to have a no-dot option in the caster group. As something to maintain at least.

I'm currently in love with MCH and thought about this for RDM: What if your melee finisher changed Fleche and Contre Sixte into new melee abilities to be weaved during the combo (maybe in an order like the existing combo to add a new layer)? So, make sure Fleche and Contre Sixte were on cd before going into your melee combo, and then they come off to be weaved in melee. Maybe successfully using them before say Holy/Flare unlocks a new ogcd finisher. Something to spice up the melee finisher.

It could look like: Riposte > "New Melee Fleche" > Zwerchhau > "New Melee Contre Sixte" > Redoublement > "New OGCD Finisher" > Holy/Flare > Scorch (and Fleche could turn into the finisher upon successful completion w/o adding new buttons)

Edit: Okay, I'm now imagining the new ogcds being animated as red light sword attacks and it's making me excited.

Revert MCH to either Stormblood or Heavensward MCH, and build from there.


Or just take MCH's Heavensward or Stormblood kit and make another job from it. Name it Corsair or something.
