My mantra as RDM is this: "It doesn't matter if you win or lose, but how good you look doing it!" And by that metric I'm always successful at RDM.

As a Red Mage this video is very accurate and I apologize for absolutely none of it :3

[@thelittlemaiden]

No apology needed when there's no one alive to hear it. :3

[@Anima_Draconis]

Why apologize for flash banging the haters? Are they apologizing for hating?

[@rina8719]

Had someone verflashbang in my recent nier raid and wiped out half the alliance, because no one could see the incoming mechanic. I ended up having to rez both healers and the non-repentant red mage as a SMN.

The LB is the best part of being a red mage. No regrets!! Reminds me of that one time in one of the Nier raids few years ago where the other 2 RDMs used their LBs back to back. It was so glorious that I followed up with my LB as the third RDM right after the second one. Three back to back to back verflashbangs. It was AMAZING! Seeing everyone's "appreciation" in chat over it was heart warming.

[@thelittlemaiden]

It's hard not to "appreciate" the hard work of not one, not two, but three Flash Mages. Cherish those heart-warming 🥰 and vision-blinding moments. 🤩

[@HonkaiMain]

You all fail to understand the Red Mage. A Red Mage must always carry the biggest drip if it is to balance black and white magic. But to carry the drip causes an intense drain on our own psyche, leading us to involuntary jump off the arena. And so when a limit break finally fills, do we finally have the chance to release the drip. Releasing it's brilliant shine upon our enemies. Those who suffer the flash of our drip are only witnessing the fraction of our suffering. The suffering that comes with carrying the drip of a red mage.

[@thelittlemaiden]

Drip some of that mana on me, Drip Mage. 😇

[@confounded_feline]

Gonna carry that drip... See you space redboy

[@Harrowing999]

I always yell out “VERFLASHBANG” whenever I LB. If you don’t want the RDM to LB3, be quicker on the button. Good luck though because I use it immediately lol

[@thelittlemaiden]

Actual *Flash* Mage ⚡

[@mdoule]

"Why did you used LB2?!" "Red mage stopped casting" any dps when they lb3 is almost ready and RDM stands still :)

The melee crying in the corner bc their stronger LB got wasted to a flash bang 😭😭 -I am a RDM main before somebody comes at me lol

Yeah, at a percent a little higher than when they're about to die before you finish anyway, Mr. Samurai.

[@audiocattt]

@@Iceburn76 lol the only place I care about melee LB3 is savage or ult. Any other content, I honestly like it when people use their LB3 just for fun in other content, because non melee rarely get to use it

The red mage has serious drip though. Anyone with a brain knows that great drip greatly outweighs any and all negatives.

[@mugen3603]

If you get the chance to troll, not only your party, but the entire alliance raid with a massive FU flash bang, you must take it. It is a redmage rite of passage. 😤 Remember that time you solo rezz the entire alliance, saving everyone from the brink of annihilation, and not a single thank you or commend was thrown your way? Remember that. Channel that feeling to your blade and unleash your crimson rage on the lot of them. MuhahaHAHAHAHAHA!

Enjoy it Noli! RDM feels clunky in the beginning due to it's full potential not being tapped on and not being able to do melee properly, but (like most jobs) it will feel very rewarding once you reach level 90! or once you unlock Manafication through your job's story. >u< Enjoy enjoy hehe ♥

[@biffwellington6144]

I actually do get comms while playing Red Mage, though. And I haven't used Verraise yet on my current character because people in my dungeon groups haven't been dying. Red Mage is a fairly simple job to play, which lets me do decent damage while still watching for boss mechanics. That's probably a big part of it. That famous Red Mage drip may be a factor, too. My character has a rather distinctive and pleasant look to her, and she wears the Eastern Lady's Togi in that job. People probably like that because it looks nice and slinky and mage-y, and is appropriately red by default, and not because you can see her panties through it. 😅

[@thelittlemaiden]

You have a very fancy and tasteful fashion sense. Anyway, did you say panties? *Gives commendation* 😘

[@astorant7084]

I honestly just don’t see the point of playing RDM when Summoner does it’s job but way more better.

[@thelittlemaiden]

That's very valid! Some people may insist on wielding a blade despite going a magical route, or they're in it for the style; bcause who else if not RDM to contend with DRG's elusive jump(off the cliff)? 😎👍

[@amandajas6287]

As a RDM main, I can confirm this is 100% accurate.

[@thelittlemaiden]

I'm happy to know that my confirmation has been confirmed by not just anyone, but a real RDM main. 🤩

[@TheArmouredAlechemist]

I got some lovely comments for my red mage when I played.

[@thelittlemaiden]

I would give you some lovely comments too. ♥

[@HayTatsuko]

RDM is the best Job and I will never apologize for thinking so. It has a fun rotation, it's fun to save the party's bacon, and it's sweet to be fly as verhells in doing so. But the most fun is getting to drop the Opthachirurgeon's Friend, Vermillion Scourge, upon an unwitting cadre of comrades -- and then raise half of them after they miss that crucial mechanic I obscured with my oh, so delightfully flashy display of _[content redacted]._

[@thelittlemaiden]

You're right and no one should ever apologise for thinking so too. This job is hella *FLYYY* in all domains -friendly-fire notwithstanding- .✨
