So yeah, Red Mages are super cool. They can use most of the more damaging weapons in the game, they can heal, they can buff, they can do damage to large groups of enemies and to top it all off they have super sweet hats. So what if they can't use all of the equipment or spells in the game. Their versatility more than covers them. Also, did I mention the hat?

I'd also Like to Mention my Red Mage Maxx, is currently superior to my Red Mage Ouch, in all catagories except for luck.

But since real Red Mages don't run away anyways, Maxx is superior to Ouch in every catagory.

Sorry Ouch, some of us just weren't cut out to be Red Mages.

I've been pretty disappointed in my red mage, but I have a pretty generally positive regard for them otherwise.

Early on mine was a god. But after class change and level 16-ish he started to fall down in comparison to everyone else and became just a buffer/healer, and nuked only to clear out large groups of enemies.

I <3 my red mage!

Haste.

Maxx is going to kill me for this, but I don't like Red Mages. é_è
I usually go for massive damage rather than versatility. But Monk/Black Belt isn't my favourite class, either, because their defense just stinks.

*kills*

You don't like 'em, go make a thread about you not liking 'em. This is purely for those who realise the amazingness of the Red Mage.
