Patch 6.5: Finally some good f-ing food.
Patch 6.4: Embolden and Magick Barrier ranges doubled.
Patch 6.28: Red Magic Mastery III now also gives melee combo a buff
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Red Mages how to Red Mage properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usage. Endgame is a long way away and there's lots to learn along the way. Start slow and work your way up one skill at a time! Then, graduate to more advanced guides.

One thing to note that I noticed in the video is that embolden only buffs your magic damage. At 46:52 it was mentioned oGCDs are buffed by embolden but they sadly are not since they're not considered magic damage.

@WeskAlber 2 жыл бұрын

Now I want to make a Red Mage named Verluigi. A couple things I'd say to anyone looking to pick up RDM: To elaborate on Displacement/Engagement, think of Displacement purely as a positional skill, like Dragoon's Elusive Jump. It has its use, but you need to be careful, since careless use will disrupt or even kill you. Meanwhile, Engagement and Corps-a-corps (since you're already in melee) are free oGCD damage skills, and should be used as such. If you *really* want, you can keep one charge to have a Displacement if you need it, but in general Engagement is the reason you stay in melee range instead of jumping in and out whenever you have enough for the melee combo. Relatedly, don't try to get *too* flashy with it. The thought of the fencer dashing in and out for the melee combo is cool, but it's very easy to misjudge when you need to actually hit your Displacement to get out of range in time. Not that I'd know anything about dying to that. Not at all. Verraise is an incredible valuable asset to a team, but as any healer will tell you it sucks to blow your Swiftcast just for your other healer to beat you to it by a heartbeat. Communication is important. That said: you have an instant raise every three seconds instead of every minute, take advantage of that!

@evilanimegenious 2 жыл бұрын

In reference to the "has its places" comment, back in ShB, I was always just hitting my mana cap to start my melee combos as the tank adds spawned in sos ex so saving a cor-a-cor charge in that kind of situation let me get a couple extra casts in before I'd lunge in for the stack I'd need to share with my healer/ranged dps partner

@andreadigney6247 2 жыл бұрын

I have yeeted myself off the edge of the arena with displacement, so yeah, be careful with it.

@arf101088 2 жыл бұрын

while corps-a-corps is a movement tool that only moves you near an enemy, displacement allows you to move any position within a 15-20y ring around any enemy target. it must be used smartly, but using it right can help you (pre)position for mechanics, dodge attacks, or enter melee with other targets without using corps-a-corps. movement and positioning is very versatile, so it can be utilized in many kinds of situations, but it needs to be the right time. if you're unsure, engagement's sideflip will suffice, i guess.

@SunrisenStar 11 ай бұрын

one high skill play i want to mention, is that on your 2nd and beyond embolden, you can fit in 1 1/2 melee > finisher combo under full embolden. at 90 you need to cast embolden when you have verflare or verholy available, and then once you hit resolution, you've got to hit manafication and try your best to get the the whole combo in ( the full combo at 90 is 12.7s, the 3 finishers alone is 7.5s, but you can just barely make it if you ABC ) this also results in Embolden and Manafication coming off CD at the same time, so i have a feeling this is what the devs want us to see too.

important: enchanted riposte and enchanted zwerchau is 1.5s recast. i can't weave fleche or contre and will overcap the gcd. according to ACT i will consistently do less damage if i try to weave there. so check if your ping allows you to weave there. the thing about rdm, it's very flexible. you can adjust anything as you like. i also play mch, but i have to weave there whether i like it or not. nin's mudra can't weave as well. in the video, lv60 and 70 opener, wesk's 1.5s perfect didn't overcap. the 90 opener is slightly over but not too bad. mine is worse. look at the hotbar rolling. if you're in casual content and no countdown you can acceleration pre pull. you don't have to use acceleration on cooldown. keep it for when there is no proc.

I figured i would take Blackmage into my dungeons and alliance dungeons, and was so grumpy when i struggled to get anything past 5th place aggro. Not sure if it's just me being bad at BM or if they just get better in later levels, since they're damage is supposed to be better.

@jaylee9372 Жыл бұрын

Late reply but BLM damage honestly just sucks until you get Fire 4. A large part of that is because your best damage is locked behind a random Fire 3 proc. Another is that your casts constantly get interrupted due to people killing your target quicker than you can cast anything. Shadowbringers content is really when a well played Black Mage can consistently place in the upper end of the party.

While vercure is very situational, I have gotten great mileage out of it during p10s, using it to save fellow dps from bleed damage while healers are forced out of range (if anyone knows p10s you know what section I’m talking about) Edit: I’ve also found great use for displacement in the same fight, using the backflip to soak a tower. Not to mention enchanted reprise for spending mana to avoid over capping with manafication. This is doubly important since overcapping both mana automatically balances them, getting rid of intentional imbalance for the finisher

So, with the openers you presented, what happens if you get a proc on either your pre-pull verthunder cast or on your swiftcasted verthunder? Wouldn't that be a "waste" of the acceleration proc? Also, during the downtime between 2-minute burst windows, would you recommend holding off on enchanted melee combos to line up with 1-minute party buff windows (assuming you don't overcap gauge), or to go right into melee as soon as you hit 50/50?

@WeskAlber 2 жыл бұрын

It would not because you're gaining DPS with skills under party buffs. And because it's not guaranteed, it's worth doing normally. Yes, try and align with 60s buffs if possible.

@Shakzor1 2 жыл бұрын

If you're not in danger of overcapping, you should hold onto mana for combos within the buff window. They're stronger than spamming normal spells. For maximum efficiency you might even want to start the combo a bit earlier, so you can get more of the finishers in your party buff window. Like melee > melee > melee > embolden, so you get verholy/verflare or even just Resolution to fit in a 2nd Resolution under the buffs depending on how long they are I don't know the exact durations, so someone can correct me if it's better to get Verholy/Flare under the buffs or only Resolution, as combo might be too long to fit in 2 Resolutions in a normal buff window otherwise.

FYI, "Zwerchhau" is faux german, as opposed to almost all the other RDM abilities being based on french, roughly translating to either "split in two" or "dwarf strike" (as in "strike a dwarf", not "dwarf's strike") realistically, it is probably the first one the pronounciation would be closer to "Zwergh How"

@onetwofoo 2 жыл бұрын

I like that dwarf theory, but a Zwerchhau is a real-life sword fighting move (like most of RDM's melee kit names)! It's actual German too, just old German. And you're right, the first translation is the correct one. A zwerchhau receives a vertical strike, and returns a horizontal one 'across' (zwerch) the opponent.

@WeskAlber Жыл бұрын

There is no such thing as emergency movement like that. You'd either be min-maxing uptime with melee combos - less an emergency and more planned greeding - or something you could just hit W for. Understanding patterns and greeding are different skill tools to learn imo

I can VerClearly see why they went with "Spell, Spell 2, Spell 3" instead of "Spell, Spellra, Spellga" here. "VerThundaga" and "VerAeroga" would definitely be very awkward to say, and figuring out that "VerThunder, VerThundara, VerThundaga" isn't a straightline progression would make things unreasonably complicated.

8:20 In Shadowbringers a 30 Mana Difference was still considered Balanced. Only a 31 or more difference mattered. Did they Change that in EW or is this a mistake in the script?

@WeskAlber 2 жыл бұрын

I should have said "more than 30." It's a difference that doesn't mean much since an imbalance that large signifies some really big flaws in your rotation as a whole.

Hi i been having a lot of fun playing red mage on controller but there is one thing that bothers me, when a party member dies you cant target them to verraise them, i looked everywhere for an option to be able to cycle through dead party member but havent found it, is there a macro for this spell so i can cast it to the closest dead player or something?

I still fail to understand why the movement abilities are AFTER the melee combo? As RDM is a ranged magic dps? Are we supposed to walk in melee to get the combo going? Or use a corps at corps before the melee combo? Feels a bit clunky to just walk over to the boss compare to the previous corp a corp- melee combo- and the back flip out of there before VerHoly/Flare-Scorch

@WeskAlber Жыл бұрын

There is 0 reason to not be in melee range, and with Dualcast you have tons of walking time. You should always be in melee range anyway. There is no such thing as "being far away" as a good idea The movement tools are last because they do the least damage. As such, are the least important.

there is one thing i dont understand! why the lack of using jolt? i get that sticking to verthunder/aero increases the chanses for proc. but hey still have close to 5sec cast time! while jolt is close to 2sec. So why will it not be better overall to cast jolt and use dual cast for verthunder/aero vs only using verthunder/aero?

Great video as always! One thing I'm wondering if you thought about, and maybe just left it out due to min/max complexity (which I imagine is what happened), is the use of swiftcast, acceleration, other instant casts, and melee attacks to align Fleche and Contre Sixte cooldowns with weave windows during your rotation. What are your thoughts about that?

@WeskAlber 2 жыл бұрын

You missed it. I mention the empty weave window is for a potion. And even then, you won't spend your strong attacks until after Embolden because you want to buff your strong stuff.

@Paynlessgaming 2 жыл бұрын

@@WeskAlber That's not quite what I was referring to. I meant during the rotation as a whole rather than the opener specifically. If you misalign the cooldown of your oGCDs (such as Fleche and Contre Sixte) and they end up refreshing during a hardcast GCD, you end up losing a couple of seconds before you're able to use them due to first having to finish the hardcast and dualcast casts. This happens due to the melee combo's duration, and the way to avoid this is the utilization of things like swiftcast and acceleration. For example, for Fleche in the lvl 90 opener, because the opener has an odd number of instant cast spells (swiftcast, acceleration, verholy, scorch, resolution), Fleche comes off of cooldown right after the final Verthunder III cast during the dualcast weave window, rather than, for example, during either of the Jolt 2/Verstone/Verfire casts that would be just before and after it.

Ah yeah, I did not consider that at all. Nor would I have included just because yeah, min-max. Movement and procs are more important tool wise
