RDM Balance ...

@ Daniel - The thing about Blu is yes they can't do all those things at any one time, but what they can do is swap up playstyle/role in a relatively quick manner (1 min timer roughly for spells/abilities to become active), so BLU's aren't dependant on SJ if the group changes up what they are fighting or strat. A good blu can see what is needed during a fight reset its spells/abilties and now can cover a variety of roles nearly on the fly.

As for the trolls, if you noticed never said I want Cure5 to become better healers, I am content with 4 on RDM, SCH though should get 5. Keeping us from not getting Cure 5 Keeps us from over taking WHM roles in groups. Yeah if SCH got Cure5 they would run the risk of taking over WHM roles but again SCH is closer to WHM And BLM roles than RDM is, which we should be fine with since we are suppose to have a melee aspect also which SCH lacks.

SCH really shouldn't get Cure V over RDM... We get them earlier which means we're more adept, it'd be a kick in the teeth if they gave it to SCH but not RDM, and outside of that even with Cure IV SCH isa much better a healer than RDM with Rapture, which turns a 450 cure into a 600~700.
