Shadowbringers RDM Wishlist

[Archwizard]

I don't think that's true at all. RDM has no HoTs, no barriers, no oGCD heals or "oh shit" buttons even for itself, and Vercure is the single most expensive quick cast in the kit. RDM can't keep up with tankbusters, and with only 6y splash it wouldn't even keep up with raid healing outside topping people off for stack mechanics.

Saying we could take over for healing just because we'd have a splash-heal would be like saying BLM could take over for tanking 'cuz it has Manaward.

The group would get much better mileage out of using RDM as a DPS, but occasionally deploying spare heals to enhance healers, the same way NIN enhances tanks.
