You don't have to keep it in mind, though. You're not doing week 1 Savage prog. That's the only time you would want to keep it mind. That is the only content where RDM would struggle, and honestly, even that's an outlier for the history of this game. That's it. Not week 2+. I know it's easy to think FF14 balance is similar to other games but it's not. The meta here is 99% of the time just play what you have the most fun playing, and play it well. If that's RDM, then it's RDM. You can clear 4th tier Savage fights as RDM and get the mount.
