Enchanted Redoublement melee combo, or the new Enchanted Moulinet melee combo. According to the tooltip,
Enchanted Swordplay does not work on Enchanted Reprise. After 6 stacks of Manafication are consumed, we will also be able to use the

Guides from Other Classes
Argen has been playing since Alphascape, but got involved in higher-end raiding during Eden’s Verse, where he helped the community learn about Red Mage’s often overlooked optimization potential. He has been blessed by enough RNG to achieve top 10 rankings in multiple raids, become a Red Mage mentor at the Balance discord, and not get forced to play another job in any of his statics. Argen can also be found in Elemental DC party finder or on his Youtube channel.
