RDM was never going to be your only healer. Not sure why you're putting words in my mouth. There is no accurate depiction of red mage in which multiple full-time healers are needed and the RDM's only role is to be a shittier black mage. That flies completely in the face of what red mage even is.
Furthermore, just because *you* do not want to play a true Red Mage doesn't change what red mage is and should be. A Red Mage would and should make 2 healer comps pointless assuming the RDM player is skilled enough to fill the role of a versatile caster/healer/melee attacker adequately. The fact that this game has chosen not to create a true red mage is a disgrace.
