Remember why so many people didn't use WHM but used RDM during Level 75 merit parties? Refresh, convert and haste. Well everyone has convert and refresh gears literally fall from the sky now. MP management is no longer an issue, so you don't get a job that it's good at both roles, you get a BLM and a WHM.

Even just the ability to self sc would land the job a spot in many parties for example. And I say SCH because in a sense the job is very similar to RDM already, ability to nuke/heal, ability to recover MP and some buffs so it was my first idea. Because honestly I can't even imagine how RDM could ever become relevant again today.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I do think the last thing this game needs is another mage who can self-skillchain.

I asked which you meant because I think one of the things that holds SE back from RDM adjustments is that it's not constrained by anything. It has no spell limit, it has no stratagems are Arts. If competent melee and mage, RDM/DRK would be an equipset away from changing roles midfight.
