    No, it really isn't, imho.
    What do you mean by "holding ransom"? The fact RDM was (emphasis on was, because we all know they'll get swapped for a Summoner halfway through) a prime candidate for progression due to its unique ability to put a party back on its feet is good.
    No other dps job could do that. Maybe it was the only unique thing it had, but it was a useful unique thing it had.
    Do you mean "damage" by "potential"? As in, "they need to lower RDM's inherent dps because of the defensive utility it brings"? What's wrong with that? When was it in RDM's identity to do a ton of damage?
    That's like saying "bard is help hostage by its insane utility". No, bard is just a high-utility, lower-dps job (and even then, does a lot of damage imho).

    Or do you mean RDM holds another job ransom?
    RDM and BLM are apples and oranges. They're not supposed to fight for the same kind of role, and they only do because of this ugly super-synergistic, super-overpowered physical comp (with a side of SMN).
    The problem here isn't with RDM or Verraise. RDM also needs a bit of a bump to become more competitive- BRD, NIN and MCH all offer superior utility and superior personal dps.
    The problem is how stacking casters is awful by party-synergy design and two of them are underpowered (BLM is straight trash).

    *insert rant about how I believe BLM should be balanced to be a powerhouse in speedkilling/farming and not progressing because its playstyle inherently requires very deep knowledge of the fight that's non-conducive of optimal progression and counter-intuitive while you're learning a fight*
