I'm fine with us not having Verraise until Stormblood content. It's not our job to carry everyone all the time, and it's fine to expect everyone else to just get better so that they don't have to rely on the RDM as a crutch.
If other people are frustrated with RDMs not raising later, they need to not die. We can and should raise if it'll save the run; however, a lot of people overestimate the importance of a RDM raise. They often expect us to raise at unnecessary times like when both healers are still up, or at inconvenient times like when we're about to start a melee combo, or when the person who's down looks so fresh they probably don't know they're going to accept a raise into a mechanic that's going to kill them again anyway.
