Talk:Red Mage: Guide to Playing the Job

>> Only job with access to the spell Refresh, which makes Red Mage a support powerhouse.

That's technically true, but a bit misleading; BRD has Ballad I & II, and COR has Evoker's Roll or something. Ballad I & II together is just as effective as Refresh, if a bit harder to target the melee's with MP with. Not sure about COR's roll, but I think it can reach 3mp/tick as well.

>> One of two jobs with the ability to Dispel enemy buffs, making Red Mage an essential part of nearly every party.

I assume the other job would be BRD's with their Magic Finale. Unless it's resisted a lot, BLU's Geist Wall (Lv.46) can substitute for RDM's dispel. If AoE Dispel is dangerous, they have a Voracious Trunk later at Lv.64. If anything, BLU is the only job with two "dispel" spells, althought the second one is actually stealing the effect. -Itazura 21:58, 19 June 2006 (PDT)
