Okay, stretch armstrong.

Let's be real here: Verraise is the only true manifestation of a Red Mage's versatility in this version of the job. You absolutely cannot remove it without obliterating the job's identity, plain and simple. It would and should cause an uproar.

So, no, I don't believe they need to dump verraise or neuter verraise just because SMN loses their's. It's absolutely logical to allow RDM to be the only DPS with a raise.
