Jobs should all bring something useful to the team when you are trying to clear, so that every player contributes and is able to play their chosen job in parties.
Raise has always been a problem for the caster role because it causes unbalance among the casters. Rdm is better at rez because of dualcast and became a meme as a rez mage back in SB and ShB since they were mostly taken for prog and drop afterward, smn can only rez once per min, and now with EW smn don't really want to rez at all bc swift cast is part of their rotation now, and blm has asked for a rez so they can be apart of prog more. Is raise really good? Yes, but it has caused a lot of problems for the caster role when it comes to filling that role in a party during prog and farming. Personally, I want one of two things to happen to the caster rez. One: just delete it from rdm and smn completely and buff them accordingly. That way we don't have these arguments about who is better for prog and farming among the casters. Or two: Nerf the rez to have a 1 to 2 min cooldown, make it a oGCD and instacast, and make it a role action. That way smn, rdm, and blm has the same type of rez at all time.
