Why are RDMs so scared of SMN being able to heal?

Then the healers should see pet health in the party frame. Since healers don't, SMN are expected to throw measly 400-500 physiks on their pet? I agree physik shouldn't be buffed for SMN, just give us some sort of pet healing back. Try using Titan-egi to tank any boss in the SMN class quest, it doesn't work, at all.

I don't care about healing potency. Just give us back sustain

1st: I can't give a single F to if a SMN can heal as much as me or not.
2nd: I was already really disappointed when they announced RDM wouldn't be a healer (made much more sense for me), instead being a DPS class. What made me ditch my WHM and main RDM it is the fact that, in a certain way, it WAS designed to be a hybrid-of-sorts, specially with the ability to weave Vercures in between offensive spells with dualcast. Yoshida and de devs did NOT leave aside the CORE concept of RDM that is being a viable support ON TOP of dealing damage, which is what I truly wanted to play as. The ability to RAISE with Dualcast, being the only class who can do so much "raising per second" was icing on the top for me.

So, while I couldn't care less if SMN will be able to cure or raise, I DO mind about people asking to nerf Vercure or make Verraise not affected by dualcast.
But let me just add some fuel to the fire: SMNs can only heal as an unintended byproduct of them sharing a job with SCH.

Great, I know your new job. Heal my damn pet or give me sustain back.

@OP I haven't seen a single RDM thread worrying about SMN being able to heal yet... where are you getting this from?

Also, SMN should just get sustain back at least.

In FFXI Summoners were able to cast Regen on the party so them having healing capabilities is nothing new. Therefore the healing product is not because they share with SCH, but because lore permits it.

in FFXI, SMNS were more or less treated as watered down WHMs, while hugging your BP timer, tho that may have changed now, since i stopped playing it, so i could careless.

Sorry but this is ridiculous.
I don't want every ranged to have the ability to raise.

We are fine with healer + smn and rdm who can do that.

I live for synthetic drama like this.

You know it's funny that other players and SC think we ( Summoners) give a flying F about healing other players when the fact is we only want to keep our pet alive. I mean it's really hard to solo because after titan goes you're just running around until you can resummon him and also grab aggro back. I mean other players are crying about us being able to tank, well obviously SC gave us a tank pet so we could, wait, wait, wait for it........... TANK!!! we Summoners don't won't to be like redmage we want to be Summoners obviously, so give us something to keep our pet alive.
