RDM's Vercure should be removed or heavily nerfed

[PrismaticDaybreak]

I'm too lazy to grind PotD that much. And I never said BLM didn't need a potency buff (not that it does). I'm tired of people who don't have a dog in either fight arguing for nerfs for anything. Plus even if I did have BLM at 70, I probably wouldn't like it because playstyle wise, I don't like to turret. I like movement. Literally would have nothing to do with how RDM plays well technically it would have an indirect influence.

Oh, I'm not complaining anymore! In fact, Embolden only being a .65% rDPS increase is pretty weak, isn't it? Why not buff it's physical half to a non deteriorating 20% buff for the duration? Leave the personal half at a non deteriorating 10%.

Because RDM needs no buffs. Just because it needs no nerfs doesn't mean it needs buffs.

...or if you know a fight frame by frame.

Heavens to besty that you should have to learn a fight to optimize your damage windows, that's unacceptable. BLM should just be able to come right out of the gate with 5000 dps minimum.

Nah man BLM should be matching the bosses damage bar none. Go broke or go home. No moving. Healers will adjust!

I think that'd actually be less damage on o1s and o2s lol.

Well I mean, we do that.

That Black Mage burst phase at the beginning is pretty sweet, by itself, let alone if you start chain critting / double critting.

Red Mages might beat us out in the 2.5 second start of a fight (Lul VerAero/Thunder Double OGCD!)

But the moment I plant down, step aside, it's my turf.

Until someone drags a cleave on me.

That crushing feeling when someone outdoes my 5 second precast opener T_T

Reading through this thread and OP's post, there's a reason very few higher tier player come to these forums. It's like a cesspool of ignorance.

Thankfully there are people in here who try to correct this ignorance with actual data and caster experience.

I main both RDM and BLM and find both fun and can tell you BLM does more damage and does not need a cure or raise because then I'm not using fire 4 and don't want BLM to turn into a raise machine because people can't do mechanics. My RDM DPS dropped because I had to raise both healers who died within the last 10% of O2S both of witch died to an easy mechanic like earthquake. I would much rather DPS than raise people who fail. My RDM like my BLM is a DPS first and if I have to raise I would rather wipe than it tarnish my fflogs because I had to raise like my recent 1 min DC did in O1S.

Why would anyone ask for a Cure to be taken out from RDM's toolkit? It's a god damn red mage! You asked for it to be a DD, deal with it! This is why I wanted it to be a tank, because it's mediocre at meleeing, casting, and healing. Yoshida & co. have a hard time keeping the jobs true to their roots, but RDM having an useful Cure is actually accurate.
