Dispel II

[Demon6324236]

Prove to me that a White Mage can constantly outdamage a Red Mage without busting out the melee. Having five more elements, a tier IV, better MP capabilities, and not having to charge gimpy spells definitely helps. Healing and support is always a risky role, since once you reach "good enough" you can just start focusing on doing other stuff, like nuking.

Depends what you fight, so far as I have ever understood Banish was made to kill undead, also there is gear that makes it even more potent against undead. Also many pieces of gear are now spread between many mage jobs, as such you can stack heavy amounts of MAB onto a WHM for Banish/Holy if you so choose, because alot of RDM BLM & SCH MAB gear, can be used by WHM as well.
