Red Mage and Dispel...

These abilities are actually intended to make the game more difficult. Imagine how PLD feel when Palisade/Reprisal get wiped (especially if you use Priwen) or when a MNK loses Protect/Counterstance/Haste. These all suck. Getting dispelled is supposed to suck.

There's a difference between dispelling 2~5 buffs and dispelling 15+ buffs. Abilities which dispel 3 effects like some Adamantoise can or other similar effects that are simply multi-dispel effects are just fine. The specific ones I have an issue with are those abilities which wipe every single buff a player has, in RDMs case this is literally upwards of 15 buffs when I do content such as Gessho. RUN in this most recent update got a special effect on it's runes which prevents ward effects from being dispelled by enemies when you have 3 runes active. RUN is a job with some high Enhancing Magic but it's by no means at the same level as RDM and I can think of no good reason RDM shouldn't have at least something similar to prevent buffs from being dispelled when RDM is the most powerful Enhancing Magic job.

Except it doesn't add difficulty, it only makes us use RNG's and Aegis/OChain PLD.

SE has really gone overboard with making too many of the boss NM's have multi-dispell moves that they spam. It was a tactic to prevent buffing melee's and zerging but it's backfired and now we just use RNG's who keep their buffs while plunking hate onto the tank. An occasional nuked buff here or there still adds challenge without forcing everyone to cheese the fights.
