Make en-spell damage uncapped, with damage based on enhancing magic skill. I'm tired of it not seeing it break 20 HP per hit. Also, add EnLight and EnDark to the collection of en-spells.

This sounds absurd, but...Refreshga!

Here's an idea on the Enfeebling/Enhancing Seal names: "Penetrating Seal" and...well, "Enhancing Seal." Heh.

Vorpal Blade. VorpalBladeVorpalBladeVorpalBlade. That's all I want. Screw you, BLU.

Enspell is uncapped based on enhancing magic skill so far as I know, it's just that you can't get enhancing any higher than to do 20 a pop, maybe 21 with full merits. With capped enhancing and +37 from gear I do 19-20(need augmenting earring, I'll get around to it eventually) and 24-26 w/ ESword on.

Enhancing magic can break the 20damage barrier.

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Red_Mag...e_Calculations

(( enhancing_magic_skill / 20 ) + 5 )

The equation can be modified based on weather and day, but that is so situational that I don't really bother. It's a bonus, as far as I'm concerned.

RDM skill caps at 256 at lvl 75, and can easily get to +25 with even basic gear (Enhancing Torque = 7, Warlock's Gloves = 16, Augmenting Earring = 3). So even a broke RDM can get to 281.

That equates to 19 damage an enspell hit at 281 skill vs. 17 at the base 256. (And funny how the Augmenting earring can upgrade us from 18 to 19..) Pretty much 1 damage to Enspell every 20 levels.

The most feasable number for RDMs to Reach is 300, but that's only with the 3 pieces of gear I mentioned (Realively easy to get), the Glamour Jupon (not terribly hard to get), and all 8 merits into Enhancing.

I was planning on meriting enhancing magic after I cap elemental but after crunching the numbers, I can see that it's not worth it. Also, Phalanx II with Enhancing Magic @ 300 and capped Merit level absorbs 22 damage. at capped level and no Enhancing Magic upgrades (256..) it's 20.

So for the most part.. Enhancing Magic is a worthless Merit (to Me) and has diminishing returns end-game...

As much fun as Refreshga sounds, that would make the job too easy.

I'd rather have the ability to get NEW Enfeebles like Break or something equivalent to Stun that we get at 45.

Even if it's for a split second even. Hell, that would give me a reason to buy another HQ staff because at the moment, Aquilo's is the only one I have/want/need.

Break {Yes, please.} Also an amnesia spell would be pretty sweet, even if they had to give all HNMs and whatnot immunity to it from the start. Screw you Deafening Tantara and Wind Shear!

I like it. Though for HNM's, I think a 1 in a million chance of it working would be better. The RDM who got that one to land would feel awesome

It's bad enough I have to leave some enfeebles out because of Macro Space.

[Aksannyi]

I personally have always wondered why it is that BLMs get Sleepga II when it's the RDMs who are supposed to be the enfeebling masters.

Well, originally they weren't.

[WishMaster3K]

BLM are the -AGA whores. Giving them spells like Escape and Warp is perfektly fine with me.

Not saying I don't wish I had warp w/o sub tho.

Hell, I'd take a self-warp at level 46. There are a lot of "self" spells that we don't get. I understand the desire to keep spells like Warp II and the higher Tiered Regens to the respektive jobs, but Warp I?

They should at LEAST give that to DRKs. And while they're at it, give DRKs an Auto-Refresh as well. They were so busy trying to have PLDs play "Catch Up" to NINs that they forgot how balanced DRKs and PLDs are supposed to be, lore-wise.

Edit:
Electricity, your sig is awesome.

I'd happily give up Diaga for Sleepga as our one native AoE.

And yeah, I think the self-only Warp would fit RDM or DRK(or both) perfectly.

I think DRK would benefit nicely from Auto-Refresh, and yeah, it would be well in keeping with DRK's status as PLD's opposite number. Although, it seems to be the sign of the times, in an effort to appease the players, or to better balance classes, S-E has strayed more from the original artistic concepts of some of the jobs. Not sure if it's a good thing.

[WishMaster3K]

@BP

Artistic talent went out the window for efficient tanking as soon as Ninjas, the pariah's of the shadows, started tanking shyt for ppl.

And now we have WHMs who want to Nuke and RNGs who want to tank. *smh*

I remember the good ol days when a train in Garliage meant everyone ran for the zone line for about 10minutes and 4k/hr was Godly.

LoL.. How times have definitely changed (for the better.)

[Aeni]

I think RDM at this time is finely tuned. Perhaps maybe looking at Reraise at level 70 for RDM? We already have Raise ... therefore we should receive Reraise natively. I see nothing wrong with this and at high level, clearly meant for end game and as a means to recover from wipes (At least have more than one way to recover from wipes)

However, this could just be that proverbial "last insult" for WHMs who've already been neglected and abandoned and having just another reason why "taking that RDM to main heal a TP burn party over a WHM" will not go well with them.

However, I've played this game since Beta and I can attest that WHMs brought it on themselves (for the most part) Their elitsm and how they could "pick" their parties got to the point that a few melee oriented classes took names and burned it in their memory. Oh my how the tables have turned. I don't feel empathy either way (Both as a DRK and as a RDM)

[Electricity Gone Human]

I think I also need to agree on scrolling the meritable enfeebles. DRK's been getting some good scrolled spells lately, so why doesn't RDM? Not that I'm complaining or anything.

I see. I'm just not at that point where I can do that. Heh.

Capping your Enhancing does in fact blow goats. It took me months of spamming barspells while lfg or waiting for events to start. However, I can't recommend doing so enough, especially if you like to solo. The difference it's had on my buffs is huge.
