BLM needs some love and RDM needs a nerf

[HoLoFoNo]

Red mage is not the second strongest DPS, although it is strong for the utility that it has, and perhaps more importantly it's simple and very difficult to mess up, all while giving it great utility and mobility for mechanics. My previous post regarding how broken verraise especially is but also embolden and vercure cannot even be argued with.

RDM is the 2nd strongest DPS according to the aggregate scores on FFlogs. The only time they aren't 2nd place is in the 100th percentile (padded as hell) but on average they are.

Also Embolden is closer to 1% rDPS (0.96%) which is about = to Litany + Dragon sight while RDM itself contributes about 300 more dps in a fight (being generous) while being less prone to getting screwed over.

EDIT: Wait hang on, they are 2nd at the 100th percentile. They are 3rd at the 99th percentile.

Someone did a very nice spreadsheet (nearly 2 weeks old though that gave points for each class based on these 2 fights. I will make something similar so we have a frame of reference what the world was like before the balance update but as there is no savage to use as a metric and its only been 4 weeks + its a .05 update, it really isn't going to be anything more than potency changes on attacks and utilities I reckon, but that may just be enough to make classes worth playing/not as strong relative to others for the time being)
