I know we are only talking savage here for the most part, but we do have to take a step back and remember a majority of the playerbase never takes part in that. In a casual PUG RDM raise and cure is amazing. Taking their support away from them there will anger a huge amount of players who play the class for that very reason, I don't see it happening.On the other hand if you made RDM do as good rDPS as BLM it would be taken over it due to its back up support. I get that its frustrating that if its not used it adds nothing but it still exist and it does have use.

Like I said though I'm all for them closing the gap a bit between the current top rDPS and those under them but if you remove the outliers things actually look fairly balanced.
Like before i agree with everything said here. Rez in other content is fantastic and I enjoy the utility a lot in non savage content. The only point I want to make on this thread is about savage content, the party finder and community gatekeeping. As stated in the initial post im not a theory crafter so pure balance isnt my objective here. As far as rDPS goes Im definately not arguing that we should have an equal amount to classes without non-dps utility. Shortening the rDPS gap would be very nice and most of the classes feel fair to me in regards to DPS with the possible exception of the current top 3 DPS's. I'm in no way stating that RDM can't complete the raids because all of the classes most certainly can! I just want to be able to do savage content without being refused because of the class I enjoy the most.

I very much value your opinion (and all others on this post) and thank you for supporting the mix of ideas!!!
