Red Mages need some love

[Popotato]

Having gotten both to the 60 range my RDM just feels more powerful then my BLM, and less stressful to play. Frankly if any class really needs love in my opinon it's the BLM, as it's timer is just NOT fun to play around where RDM not only is stylish, versatile, but mobile. The only thing I feel it really lacks is the hard hitting melee that the three hit combo should be that you build towards.

For a selfish DPS, BLM are in a good spot right now. RDM needs help because it's not as mobile as SMN, and doesn't do anywhere near as much damage as either SMN or BLM. Additionally, RDM might be versatile, but that versatility is completely undesirable and actively discouraged outside of prog. If you you look at it from an end game farm and speed run perspective, you have to take away the heals and take away the raise. Once you do that, RDM is just a subpar caster DPS class.

Also regarding BLM timers, managing it has become a lot easier and a lot less frustrating with many of the QoL changes given, such as a longer Firestarter proc and 8s Transpose. Back when Transpose was 12s, you could definitely argue that maintaining was frustrating as sometimes you would see issues with ping. Highlight BLM timers as a problem with the job now (when it isn't) just shows you prefer RDM for its ease, which is perfectly fine. But once again, actual job difficulty can't be considered outside of prog, since if you're in a farm situation you would be pretty comfortable with your job no matter how hard the job is.
