Mobs in Abyssea dont need debuffs, Cure IV isnt going to keep up with AOEs/high HP pools and Refresh/Buffs being self-contained makes a support line a joke.

RDM nuking means nothing as you don't have all the trigs and damage is in no short supply. In Abyssea, RDM brings nothing to the table.

The only reason why RDM made all the parties back when was due to a support line being needed to keep MP going, debuffs were critical when wiping actually meant wiping and Cure IV was pretty much enough to keep DD up.

SE gave away all the tools that made certain jobs desirable through Atma so is it no surprise BRD/COR/RDM popularity has tanked.
