RDM underperforming by the way of neglect

[remiff]

Psst the rez when needing to kill doesn't really matter. Also RDM should have more damage than SMN with it's near constant access of mobility and non pulse requiring rotation

Overall the summoner's kit is about his personal survival, the red mage a lot of mobility on his rotation too, the summoner certainly only has 3-4 cast per minute which is not much and makes him almost as mobile as Phys range, and is very easy to play certainly, but the red mage has a better kit for the survival of the group, to put the summoner under the red mage would make it totally obsolete.

red mage and summoner have almost the same DPS,
and all compositions are able to kill a boss, some comps are just easier than others, especially since you get 900 tomestones during this raid without having adjustments on the bosses HP.
