Lets talk about caster balance

[Namir]

RDM and SMN are the only DPS jobs where a situational utility is used to gauge how much DPS they should or shouldn’t do. Resurrection needs to either be:

1. Removed from SMN and RDM (leave the rezzing to the healers) or,

2. Leave it in RDM and SMN but give it a long cooldown of 60-120 seconds (thinking about it, Rekindle could be SMN’s rez instead of a useless situational regen) or,

3. Be made into a caster role action with a long cooldown. And before people start saying “but BLM has never rezzed in previous FFs!”, well, neither have they casted only fire, thunder, and ice spells. Neither have RDM casted flower and rose spells. Neither have SMN casted ruin spells. Some things are changed in MMOs for the sake of balance.

True caster balance will forever be unnatainable until something is done about resurrection, it’s way, way overdue. This is something very apparent and easy to see, whether this is something Yoshi-P sees and is just keeping it there because BLM is his main is something I've always asked myself.
