Please make Verraise accessible at level 12

[Reinhardt_Azureheim]

Because BLM would still do more damage because RDM tax comes from Embolden, not Verraise. As long as BLM did even 1% more DPS, it would be worth bringing. Why take Verraise in farm if you don't need it because no one's dying?

1.) Raidbuff value is counted towards the job who provided the raid buff and the metric to compare DPS jobs with is rDPS, which accounts for buffs (i.e. the buff on your personal DPS gets subtracted and added to the buffer instead).

2.) No you would absolutely not bring a job for a 1% dmg difference (which is about 0.125% group DPS if we weigh DPS:tanks:heals as 50:30:20 ratio and assuming the damage values are roughly the same). For such a marginal DPS gain you are better off dropping the extra damage and bring high-impact utility like DPS Raise or group defensives.

Prime example for this: Shadowbringer BLM vs SMN for god knows how long

Currently BLM is 5th rDPS, RDM is 9th. Embolden does not make up the difference (though it should, ideally).

Why would you want to bring Raise or defensive utility if they're not needed, don't help healer DPS at all, and BLM does more damage? If 1% is not enough, what is? Tax the Embolden, not the utility. Utility should just be flavor and job fantasy.

SHB SMN was the highest DPS in the game for most of SHB.
