Each job in FFXIV<\/a> has its own special place within a party. Red Mage is a magical ranged DPS Job. This job is a hybrid melee and caster Job that will spend time building resources as a caster, before unleashing lots of burst damage with enchanted melee attacks. To get the most out of the Red Mage Job, it helps to nail down your rotation.<\/p>\n

In order to know the best Red Mage Rotation in FFXIV, we need to look at several different factors. These include openers, GCDs, buffs, and more. We will break down each step of the rotation below:<\/p>\n

Magical ranged DPS, otherwise referred to as casters. They are more movement-restricted than melee DPS due to the casting times associated with their various abilities, but to compensate for this, they can deal high burst damage and are some of the most powerful DPS Jobs in the entire game. <\/p>\n

Red Mage is a very simple Job to pick up for those new to the magical ranged DPS role or the DPS role in general. It doesn’t have the highest damage capabilities but it has a lot more movement options when compared to the other magical ranged DPS Jobs, allowing Red Mage players to quickly avoid powerful AOE enemy attacks. This is great if you are not used to the caster role yet. <\/p>\n

Red Mage also has a lot of damage mitigation built into its kit meaning it is okay to mess up and take a few hits. Truly, Red Mage is a great beginner Job for new players. <\/p>\n

Here is an example of a Red Mage opener and rotation:<\/p>\n
