Except in speed clear RDM won't be used over Black Mage

I invite you take a look at what Mazz Maryoku has been doing in speeds on RDM.

You don't trade power for mobility.

Tell this to MCH, DNC and BRD since about ShB. At this point in the game, you do indeed trade power for mobility. We can argue if this is a fair decision or not but it is one the dev team has already made.

When you optimize your runs and realize you'll never several different BiS to make the best out of SMN, then it doesn't become a 1 brain cell job anymore.

You can do in-depth optimization on most jobs. Your precious SMN isn't in any way special.

Before you just troll, how about you provide constructive criticism and provide actual feedback so we can take you seriously.

I would have been more willing to have a constructive argument if your whole post didn't try to downplay all of SMN's advantage while upplaying that stupid "Red Mage has infinite rez" bullshit. Right now it just reeks of "my SMN should have more DPS than RDM!11!!".
