RDM and the Utility Tax

[Kolsykol]

I am not really fond of utility that can only really be justified whenever people are bad ( not saying that there are absolutely no situations where it's useful otherwise, progression for example. But that only makes it situationally relevant, after that it goes back to just being '' people are bad '' ).
Other utility, even like Mantra for MNK still has uses outside of just '' someone is bad at the game/ fell asleep and died or the healer is afk:ing ''.

I think that people playing RDM justifying the '' tax '' by pointing to the utility like this that the RDM has are really shooting themselves in their own feet.
And if the utility is really necessary and helpful at all outside the 99.9% of the cases ( again, unless it's like progression I guess ) then the problem is with your group. And if your group isn't bad then why even take an RDM?
I don't think that it should be balanced around people making mistakes / playing poorly to such an extreme extent.

People can get all hurt and offended about me calling people bad all that they want, but cmon it's true...
If you have to use your heals or res it's because someone else failed which they're not supposed to do.
Yes it happens, but usually it only happens for a limited time like after a new expansion has launched but as soon as people have figured things out it doesn't happen often and almost all of your utility is useless.

Like when the main reasoning and logic behind taking a class is basically '' our group is kinda trash and people are going to die, so lets take a RDM '' then I think that there's something wrong there.
It's honestly a bit insulting to RDM even, because it sorta ends up being seen as the babysitter for people who don't know what they're doing.
