Red Mage idea

[SwordCoheir]

Frankly I would think the musketeer/fencer would utilize the classic fencing weapon Misericorde (A.K.A. Parrying Dagger), which could be used for a weak offhand damage weapon, to help increase DPS due to Swords being on the lower end of the DPS ladder and increase the natural rate of parry.

Ah, the old rapier + main gauche combo! I can get behind that.

Haste works well in many other MMOs, successful ones at that, like WoW... so don't say it isn't a good idea in one. Sorry bro.

I think it may be the fact that haste and TP have this bad tendency of meshing too well. Think about it, in other games where haste is used, haste is almost never involved with classes with resources that are attained per hit. Rage, Righteous Fury, and TP all fall under that.

XI's melee balance was in part ripped to shreds because of haste along with store TP, especially classes that could dual wield. And it got worse when multi-hitters entered the picture. I'm sure it would be fine if Hastaga was treated like Bloodlust/Heroism in WoW, with a debuff that prevents you from receiving the effect for 10 minutes. The problem is someone would start frothing at the mouth because it doesn "feel" like Hastaga from other FF games.
