Best Red Mage Routine?

[rexxcastle]

What seems to be the best one out right now? I have been using the Shinra version. Being new to rad mage and the game in general I really do not know how well or not well it does compared to others.(or if there really are others)

Shinra to my knowledge. Even though you have to manually do the opener (for RDM the opener is a joke in regards to difficulty anyways), but it even beats out one of the pay ones that I'm aware of. Very solid.

What do you mean by that? That is the one I have been using and it seems to start attacking within a second of the tank pulling something.

The way your comment was phrased I am unsure of what your exact question/issue was, rereading it I wanted to add this as an addendum...

Shinra to my knowledge doesn't use the common raid opener, it simply starts with its priority/rotation. It's not that it doesn't just start attacking, but starting with simply letting the CR go isn't optimal. The prepull buffs into the opener is a separate part of the fight that isn't done via Shinra yet to my knowledge.

Original Reply:
If you're talking about the opener comment, you keep the CR paused while manually doing the opener, once it's done within 6 actions (and that's if you count acceleration and diversion) you unpause the CR and let it do it's priority/rotation from there.
