It's not that RDM got nerf. It's RDM literally got nothing and no buff in ShB. I can feel my dungeon run with RDM is slower than BRD. Which are the alts I wanted to level up, but using RDM with Trust is so much worse than with BRD that made me quit RDM for now.

Comparing RDM with BLM changes are like peasant and royalty difference. Though BLM didn't have much change to it's gameplay, the entire focus of QoL change is so on point that it ended up being a buff to BLM. The reason you feel RDM got weaker is because everyone around got better.

Yeah, RDM got a pretty Scorch, except it's added at the end of your long melee combo that you sometimes can't finish due to boss mechanic. I was expecting the melee combo to be improved in ShB, yet I'm full of disappointment to this job even though I loved RDM to death in SB.
