Red Mage could use some help.

I don't see any reason to bring a RDM into my Raidgroup. I would ever ever prefer any other Dps Job.

well but thats, without being offensive, a situation RDMs have to face and most probably will face 4ever - their spot won't be an endgame dps cls. their potential shines in other aspects more than any other cls... progress, solo content, potd, map-dngs etc. And please don't restart the discussion if dualcast+verraise+vercure is weaker than devotion+con/radiant. There are enough threads discussing this matter and show that you actually can't compare their utility because they shine in different situations and tasks. (progress vs. farm)

Last point (a very personal one) is if you like to play RDM in raids just do it - don't be a worrier be a warrior. You don't have to be top end to have fun... ingame neither on pve nor at endgame/raids. Until now every Savage content was doable with every cls, yeah even ultimate – so give a shit bout statistics and numbers and just play what you like to play. If your mates have a problem with that... you don't have to look for another cls, you should look for new mates instead. but thats just me...
