Concerns Regarding DPS Balance: Physical Ranged, Red Mage, and Summoner

[Lorika]

RDM should have batter DPS, and by a lot more.

Right now, RDM is the less mobile and the most fragile Magical DPS.
Picto and BLM have a Dash and 95% of the SMN skills are insta, making him more closer to a Physical Ranged than to a Magical.
SMN, Picto and BLM all have a personal shield... RDM doesn't have.
RDM party buff are meh to bad.

Its ironical since the RDM is the Magical DPS that take the most risk by going into melee range for a whole 3 GCD.

Right now risk vs reward for the RDM is utterly bad.... The job is still one of the most fun and is the one with the best verStyle (), but still it's DPS should be way more higher than it is actually.
And it's raise is not an excuse anymore since you really don't use it often.(it's more of an insurance than a real utility)

I agree. And Pictomancers should be able to paint the finished goods, like muffins or waffles or cake.
