Why is RDM invisible right now? Where is the outrage?

rdps is the only thing that matters.

You're half-right? But also hilariously, painfully, ludicrously wrong.

So it's like this right: BLM is the caster with the highest personal DPS, and always shall be so long as it brings no group utility. While RDM may contribute more to raid damage via the use of buffs like Embolden, it's situational, in that it needs jobs that can reasonably reap the benefits of Embolden (which of course notoriously excludes other casters). Even if you brought mostly utility jobs whose focus is on maximizing raid damage, you would still want a competent BLM or similar job to stack and focus-cast those buffs on.
+10% to whatever damage RDM is doing maybe puts it on level with an unbuffed BLM for a couple seconds. +10% damage to the BLM blows everyone else out of the water, and invites a lot of other +% buffs from everyone else.

There's a place for both personal and raid DPS, and raid DPS scales only with the personal DPS it can amplify.

As for "the superior caster for both prog and speed runs"... personally I'd just want to see RDMs represented across the spectrum, not necessarily on top, but not limited only to progression runs either. The idea of any job being limited purely to progression or purely to farm is very gatekeep-y.
