Red Mage idea

Best.RDMThread. Ever.

I choose not to make En-spells able to be cast on other players since I think that would cut in to some of the uniqueness of the RDM in melee (and possibly make it more efficient to simply have the RDM buff the party from the back lines). But Aoe Temper and Barrier I think would be a nice contribution.

I may be able to get behind Temper and Barrier, but under certain conditions. 1) Instant cast. This is non-negotiable. 2a) Affects all party members regardless of how far they are from the RDM. 100 yalm radius would also work. or 2b) Aura-type effect that originates from the RDM. If I had my way, I'd make it so the RDM gets the full benefit of the buff and everyone else gets the buff at 80% potency.

This is great! and like i said, if there's a balance issue, you can make the AoE only by using Sacred Prism.

Those are certainly good points, but I don't think entirely necessary. My suggestion has the spells as self-target only (like Sanguine Rite) so when Sacred Prism is used to make it aoe, it can only be centered on the RDM. The buffs are also very melee oriented so there isn't much reason to be hitting back line jobs with them.

Discussion is good, because regardless of how each of us thinks our own particular build would play, someone else may have a different opinion. And if someone finds a way to exploit something about your build that would force it into a role you don't actually want to play, you better believe that's the role RDM will end up playing.
