What is RDM all about?

I think people forget what rdm's role in EG is, Support, you're not going to be able to replace anything in true EG you need the best of every role you have, this means you want a whm main healing regardless hence why even in the ToAU era where rdm was considred healing king. in EG events I still saw whms. rdm has always been used for being a refresh support for jobs with MP. To which the job has received a buff to, still making us the best at this role. We also have some of the most useful enfeebles being Bio and Dia III through merits. as well as other merit enfeebles and standard enfeebles, we also have the highest enfeebling skill in the game. we may not have any token spells in that department outside of merits but we are more likely to get that para or slow to stick then a whm, thought whms mnd may make it more potent. it has to land first. As for healing, yeah we can't fill the main heal role, but we are still a great support healer. Is Cure IV is enough to make my tank live another 1-2 hits till whm can finish getting Cure V or VI off? In most yes, not all, but most.

BRD is the best at Refresh, you're better of getting a BRD/RDM for Refresh or BRD/WHM and basically be the same as RDM main.
