lets be honest with ourselves. most of us didnt even care that much about our DD potential pre-abyssea and recent major updates. now with all those broken atmas and cruor buffs coupled with evisceration and cdc, we are like "weeee~ lets kick some ass!". now with the upcoming voidwatch stuff and such, rdm will regain its prosperity and we will go back to "meh, who cares about DDing" because simply it would make things worse. who in the right mind would let a rdm tp on the upcoming end game stuff? no one. would you even seriously ask to do so? no.
for all these years, SE has been modifying the jobs according to the intentions of the player base, like how they thought of war as a main tank, pld and nin as support jobs etc at first. just look at those jobs now (inb4 lolpld). outside abyssea, rdm is simply far more useful than any other caster in most situations no matter how you look at it and you can't say it didn't make you happy that everyone used to look for a rdm before anything else. if they make rdm a better DD, they would nerf the mage aspects and then people would bitch about that. you can never make everyone happy with the changes. would you prefer being a really good mage and a weak DD or a week mage and a mediocre at best DD? like seriha had said, being "jack of all trades", while being fun and all in theory, is not nearly a good thing in an mmo. i would choose being the most useful mage than being a mediocre DD any day. abyssea shouldnt be the norm to decide if rdm needs to be a better DD since that thing is simply broken.
@ OP, i can't agree more. especially, no fencer while even brd has it + shield mastery with F skill = /facepalm
