That is not entirely true, Blue Mages have a job ability that, much like accession, turns their support spell into an aoe. I do know however, that this JA is on a very long timer, 10 minutes iirc, and accept that as a valid point in the differences between RDM and BLU. Nonetheless I think leaving RDM out of skill changes, is very very very offensive to the RDM community who have been screaming about it almost since day 1. I don't recall ever hearing that BLUs complaining about their sword rank, mostly it was about their spells and the restrictions placed on them. Now I don't believe RDM should get an A+ in sword either, an A- would be more then sufficient. Also look at some of the other jobs in that list, THF and NIN yeah they should get buffed, but PUP and BST? They already have considerable damage and utility potential in their pets, they really have no need to have their skills buffed at all, I would consider them in the same position as RDM, It's not as though this increase will get them invited to endgame content.

Few things SE has done over the years have upset me as much as this.
