Jack Of All Trades: A Guide To Red Mage

"Adjustments to the Red Mage job" coming in the next version update. Adjustments being the plural term so it's going to be more than just one change.

I think we can rule new spells out. As much as I'd like to see Red Mage get Virus, especially since some NMs can cast it, I don't think we'll see that.

From the looks of the picture featured at least one of the changes concerns Saboteur, at least I think that animation is Saboteur's. I wonder if they're reducing the penalty when using a Saboteur'd spell on an ITG target, or if they're making it so a Saboteur'd spell cannot be removed via Erase or Na.

I'd honestly like to see Enspell II finally get fixed so they're a stronger version of a first tier Enspell. Make both tiers share the same calculation for initial damage and make it so Enspell II procs on all hits of an attack round. Enspell II should still increase damage with attacks landed as they currently do. Enspell II being buffed like that would make the Path C Crocea Mors even nastier as well. Can you imagine how much damage a fully powered up Enspell II would do with the Crocea?

in regard to melee side... RDM is the original fencer. fencing degen, fencer's ring, & fencer's earring. It should have the highest fencer job trait of all, yet it's not even on the list.

Dual wield

Thats all i want...

I want flash back

I made a few more updates to the sets in the guides, and added in a set for Impact, as well as a place for it under Elemental Magic list, as it was completely absent.

Wouldn't subbing NIN to dual wield Eletta Sword and Eletta Club be BiS for MACC atm?

Give saboteur an elemental seal effect go :)

This would be so huge. I only really sub BLM for that and occassionally sleepga/breakga. I could only imagine if they did that and gave it DW. Could you imagine seeing RDM/WAR running around? :|

When the rdm can haste 18 people for ~10 minutes from outside the alliance, and continue to maintain that buff without ever joining a party it is broken. Doesn't matter that it takes 4 minutes to do it, because they never have to take a party spot to do it.

It would be your best combo if you already ARE/nin (aside from Mythic with AM up) but Enki Strap and Raetic+1 has higher m.acc skill, INT, and magic accuracy.

Edit: you can obviously still use these as /nin. redacted.

Does "Magic Accuracy Skill" in off-hand do anything? I have no idea.

Raetic Staff +1 gives 62 MACC, and 242 MACC Skill.
Enki gives 10 macc and 10 MACC from INT/MND.

Eletta Sword gives 30 MACC and 231 MACC Skill.
Eletta Club gives 30 MACC and 231 MACC Skill.


All I know is I spammed the goddamned ***out of Blind 2, Frazzle 2, and all the other debuffs for a good 8 minutes against Maju with Dual Wield Eletta (which is supposed to be permanent Elemental Seal) and my debuffs STILL had a hard time landing on that idiot.


EDIT:
Thing's I didn't have when I tried to Blind Maju:

AF Hat +3 (Have +2)
AF Body +3 (Have +2)
Eletta Bow (Have Regal Gem)
Food
GEO-Languor
Warlock's Roll


So I'm basically missing 142 MACC (217 if you count Languor). The Dual Wielded Eletta's should've basically covered that missing # alrdy and yet I could still barely land anything on Maju.

Does "Magic Accuracy Skill" in off-hand do anything? I have no idea.

No it doesn't... at all. Only main hand values are used but magic accuracy does work off hand.

Oh that is hella stupid wtf

"Magic Accuracy Skill" is meant to level us up to that iLevel value, having it work in both hands would be extremely broken necessitating SE creating monsters even more broken to handle our brokenness.

Exactly, if it applied in offhand I'm pretty sure nobody that owned Murgleis would be caught dead using Amurappi Shield

That shield is still not batter for macc than su5 sword in offhand, but you can only dual wield with dnc or nin sub job and like few ppl noticed, you are sometimes force to take other sj.

When the rdm can haste 18 people for ~10 minutes from outside the alliance, and continue to maintain that buff without ever joining a party it is broken.

Embrava would like a word with you. Idk what the duration is now, probably nerfed, but several years ago it was like 12.5 minutes when fully buffed. Longer, if you refreshed the effect before Tabula Rasa wore off.
