RDM should get a slight nerf

Okay, but branching outside of the M. Ranged role; why does RDM get Magick Barrier with two effects and the P. Ranged only get reduced cooldown on their equivalent?
Gimme secondary effects on Troubadour and such.

Magick Barrier lasts 10 seconds and only does magic damage. Troubadour lasts 15 seconds and does all damage.

Nooo! I knew somebody would call me on my bullshit...

Jokes aside, I do think RDM has gotten quite the arsenal of supportive tools to the job's benefit. So far, they've only stolen cookies from the WHM and BLM cookie jar, so I'm happy they're kind of branching out and using things in other jobs as well. I don't think the job needs a nerf, rather, I think SMN needs to be brought up a little bit.
Now if only they'd get more melee skills...

I agree, SMN needs to be brought up to RDM's level. RDM got a lot good this expansion, though everybody else is looking at Magick Barrier while I'm like "Look everyone! Acceleration changes! Bankable mobility I'm so happy!" I think a nerf Red Mage does need is to make Verraise incompatible with Dualcast, that way they can keep raise and they can keep swiftcast raise and the utility gets equaled out with SMN's own variant of the spell.
