Wow, people really trying to say Holy 2 and Banish 3 are better than Blizzard IV and Thunder IV? I know the math types had red mage as a better per mp healer than black mage for a long time, please don't pretend red mage is in a bad spot for nuking. I have to go to work now so I can't do math on this, but aside from the rare fully solaced holy spells someone please math out banish 3 and holy/holy 2 doing more damage than Blizzard/Thunder IV. And melee damage is irrelevant because any event you HAVE to have a white mage currently on that said white mage would be a fool to be meleeing. Red mages would be too, but you have the delusional almace red mages who think they always have to melee. If you can melee as the main healing mage and melee too, a red mage could do it as well as a white mage.
Oh, and red mage already marginalized white mage once at 75. Apparently SE didn't like that. Scholar would smoke white mage once they get haste from /rdm. White mage had all the barspells, Cure v advantages at 75 and was still left behind in many missions / salvage/ etc because red mage was "so much better" in the eyes of the general populace. My old end game linkshell refused to allow white mages in limbus or salvage, and originally said no white mages in t1 or t2 in einherjar.
