Can we talk about how mnk, drg, and blm are blatantly overpowered right now?

To be fair, rdm without raises and cure is just a black mage that has ver infront of all their spells flavor wise, isn't exactly a "red mage" anymore at that point. Also the ratios between what a red mage does compared to a blm isn't that far off from how it was in alphascape, the average dps values have just increased by 2x, but the ratio is relatively the same. There's actually plenty of room for support mages in progression and even reclear. If rdm were to get any kind of buff, I'd rather them just get an embolden buff than a flat personal dps buff.

To be even more fair, just the inclusion of a cure and a raise doesn't a red mage make either. By that definition a summoner is a red mage too. No, it is a bastardization of a beloved archetype because of SE's inability to add any meaningful support jobs due to the formulaic approach in job and encounter design. As a savage raider, I agree that we can clear content. However, this requires a team that accepts the DPS loss for bringing a RDM. There is a mathematical DPS loss that is realized as a result of bringing a RDM. In fact, why would you bring one at all? Do you often bring a contingency plan or just teach your members not to die? In the rare instance that a DPS in a farm group does die, swiftcast raise from one of the healers is almost always a better choice. It is a fact that RDMs are being openly discriminated against. I am certain that that every savage group knows they could have better DPS by excluding the RDM. It's really not about whether a static group is accepting of this fact but rather how it makes the RDM player feel. You feel like a detriment to your group because you know that you could bring better DPS on another job. Better DPS equals faster clears and less chance for death due to decreased encounter length.
