COMPLETE Red Mage Job Breakdown from DAWNTRAIL Media Tour! 

I'm honestly kind of relieved to find out that finisher #4 is an OGCD, as funny as the concept was the idea of 45 sec long triple melee did kind of feel excessive

Only downside is that they didn't add VerStone and VerFire 3 with new animations.

The most important question remains: does Sprint still eat up Dualcast? 😅

Never expected grand impact to be a separate buffed ability. Two instant casts with swiftcast also being 40s is actually a change i wanted but didnt expect

The change to manafication is something I didn't know I needed. That's great.

Seems like nice additions, I'm excited.

We need new animations for VerFire and VerStone

A little sad they didn’t add any water or ice spells I was really hoping for. Otherwise looks pretty good and love the new spell effects.

CINNERATION ISNT A FINISHER FOR YOUR MELEE COMBO, THANK GOODNESS

If Molinet combo is a single button press why not the other 😢

Red Mage best mage!

love the ogcd mobility options no more 16 part finishers per expac LOL!

Shame I think it needed atleast 6 more finishers

Altogether better than just adding 8th skill to the melee combo. Its good to see RDM in such a healthy state

Nice job on manafication changes, it does the same as its previous itterations only now us RDM mains wont overcap on mana, also im glad that the aoe rotation is now obly 50/50, it nade no sense being 60/60, overall, im a happy RDM 😅

If the melee combo is still an odd number of attacks (it sounds like the additions are oGCD), then the Accel 2 changes could be pretty annoying to deal with when it comes to adjusting what GCD your dualcast is on. Will have to see.

I really like that they added abilities instead of merely upgrading. I dont mind having a few extra buttons to press.

Every time Cineration comes up, I'm not going to be able to stop hearing Bilbo's voice in my head, "...Incineration?!"

I REALLY wish we got verstone/fire upgrade instead of jolt 3…..

Yeah rdm is still OP in dawntrail thx misterhappy

More OGCD options, I like. More bursts!

Lol nice playlist link

Vercure still needs a potency increase, and both it and Verraise need to be available before level 50, preferably pre-30.

So it technically isn't since its a 30sec proc not something you HAVE to use right away, but isn't Cineration yet another Finsher Finsher... Finisher?

Shadowbringers: You get an explosion after Verflare / Verholy Endwalker: You get another explosion after that, but it's a beam! Dawntrail: You get another explosion after the beam, but it's oGCD! I have an idea for quality of life, make Corpse a Corpse not do damage, thank you!

Did we not get a way to put our melee combo on one button? If the AoE can swap the single target should be able to as well

The only down side I see here is that In my crossbars I distinguish between "skills that I use when I move" and "buffs that I mostly use when not moving" and now they transformed 2 buffs into offGCD attacks so It will kill my muscle memory and my RDM crossbar since Stormblood.

Why no Quadcast, SE?

Losing the downtime Manafication rush is a bummer. Honestly would be perfectly okay with the job for Dawntrail if they didn't make Manafic a buff instead of just the 50/50 gauge.

That Cineration has some sick animation. Too bad it's OGCD so we likely wouldn't see it often.

Just looking at the default state of the hotbar, there seems to be only ONE new button/icon change. Also, I LIKED Manafication interacting with the job HUD meters... I also liked Moulinet being 60 mana instead of 50. Not everything in the entire game needs to operate in the same 50/100 meter dynamic...

I’m happy that Red Mage feels relatively the same, but I wish they gave it a rework that gave us more melee options. one single target combo and one aoe combo feels very limiting to what they advertised RDM to be.

50/50 aoe T.T I almost dont believe it

Is the melee combo still 3 separate buttons? Not 1 button combo action?

I was already pretty happy with where RDM is, so it being mostly the same is good news. However, the aoe melee combo should have always just cost 50.

RDM combo has always been 50 cost. It's only 60 if you do it with Moulinet.

Wait is Acceleration a strict DPS gain now?

Red Mage turns out not to be as bad as expected but the job still feels poorly designed and as if the job is only in the game for the sake of being in the game. Red Mage combines White and Black magic but more than a bar that you fill for some stronger skills, the concept isn't used that much. There is little identity for each aspect and feels like unfinished, PvP despite being very bare bones does something more interesting with the concept than the regular version. By giving the Red Mage a White Magic and Black Magic mode to switch between. I wish to have that with the regular version. Would be better if there is a White Magic and a Black Magic mode with each mode having more identity of it's own. The White Magic mode that does less damage but gives utility like heals, buffs, shields and rez. Everything cost white mana that you build and Black Magic mode is for damage and build up. At some point you have to switch between these modes because you build less and less mana and you skills that cost white or black mana consume for per usage, your mana gain is very high at the beginning. After switching modes the costs and are reset and penalties are reset. In each mode you can always use Red Magic if you have enough white and black mana but certain skills give you one for free, and those combine different aspects like Scorge could give all melees in it's explosion radius a damage buff and so on. Rez can't be abused that often because it is in White Magic mode only and after the first usage which cost normal mana, it cost white mana if you use it again and only resets if you switch to Black Magic mode. If you stay too long in each mode you get penalties for example rez gives a debuff to the person that was rezed, if the person dies within 60 sec again, only a healer can bring them back again, your rez doesn't work on that person anymore. There are buffs that allow you to stay in each mode despite having higher costs and lower mana gain if you need the extra time window but you have to deal with the penalties. This is what i think would give Red Mage more identity and plays more into Red Mage using both white and black magic. Right now there isn't that much there and one heal, one rez and two buffs isn't enough to really go with the theme.

I wish they would rework the job. You can't just keep doing the same thing forever, it gets boring. People need new things

It's Redmage, its a basic class that people end up playing because of RezMage. It was never complicated.

Garbage, removing skill expression options and instead just giving more buttons to press.

Dude did you really have to drop 26 videos in my feed all at the same time? I’ve unsubscribed from channel for doing half of that number of spamming, I’m not unsubing from you as I like you but I’m miffed.
