Notes
- Red mage's enchanted melee combo in PvP is unremarkable due to its low potencies (even in bursts) and relatively high risk when engaging multiple opponents. It should thus be used as needed for sustained damage after bursts, to sustain against one or two opponents, or to bypass Guard. Scorch should still ideally be ready for execution in preparation for bursts due to its high potency, however.
- If Scorch is available, it should be prioritized over Prefulgence and Resolution with Displacement. It is important to consider if the healing from Prefulgence would be a higher priority, however.
- It takes approximately 1.7 seconds for this action to deal damage. In addition with this action dealing more damage over-time, it will take 7.7 seconds for this action to deal its full amount of damage. Because of this, it may be more preferable to execute Prefulgence instead of this action if dealing damage quicker in bursts is preferable, while also healing the red mage themselves and nearby party members. Red mages may also consider timing the execution of this action for when opponents exit Guard.
