May I see your reference on the math for this?

It's 16% uptime on an average of 6% physical damage increase for up to 5 other people. Which puts it at 1% of, using a standard meta comp, MOnk/Sam, Nin, Bard, and Warrior, and 1% of Paladin if it's done during FoF windows (which it may not be, so admittedly lower)

Taking into account just Samurai/Monk, Ninja, and Bard, is around 130-140 on top of what Red Mage parses show in high percentiles.

Which puts them close to Black Mage in terms of bottom line.

Embolden isn't utility. It's damage. It's perfectly acceptable to include it as a point of reference when pointing out inequities in actual Utility (like Raise).
