    Well in this stage of the game outside of gearing RDM, I don't play as it, useless job as it stands.

    Going on history if they give SCH it they'll give RDM it first.

    I will go on that rather than a random who's using the fact they said they didn't plan on giving it to SCH (yet) as reasoning to not give it to RDM.

    Will I be wrong? possibly. Time will tell.

    And this is your problem, you use the job as a healer although you have melee leanings. I've used it as various things since 2003 and plan to continue doing so until the server explodes.

    RDM is not useless, the only thing different at 90 from 75 is that we can't be main healers anymore. If all you ever did was main heal, then yes the job will feel useless, but then why didn't you play WHM anyway? I mean your doing the exact same things, but WHM has so much more to offer for healing then what any RDM (even one with Cure V) could possible do. Are you a masochist?

    Wrong! I never used it as a healer, I specifically changed to my WHM when I was asked to heal.

    One of it's main things is Enfeebles which on hNMs was always mostly worthless and even Abyssea has furthered that, with it now turning to voidwatchNMs.

    My RDM was and will forever be a backup healer or main healer if a WHM can't be found, if the WHM healed someone and then a DD grabbed hate, I'd heal to help the WHM. Along with splitting the load where Haste was concerned. My issue is and forever will Cure V is not a capable heal anymore, wasn't in Abyssea and it's becoming more obvious it's not in Voidwatch now.

    This gives RDM the massive role of... erm!?

    My arguement was more with the fact RDM always got cures before SCH, and it shouldn't change not now, not ever.

    People are not giving WHM enough credit now. Giving SCH and RDM Cure V wouldn't take away from them now. Most of their issues are mostly gone and the bonuses are not worth loosing anymore.
