BLM needs some love and RDM needs a nerf

[ADVSS]

Did you read my response? I don't think you read my response.

Let me elaborate some more. RDM is literally the best class in the game to handle mechanics except for maybe bard. Short cast times and can move every other cast, not to mention dash in and dash out. Vercure is warranted given the lore of the class but too strong for the current setup of the game, if both healers die the RDM can vercure > verraise > vercure > verraise and completely carry the party, see also: broken. Lastly, embolden is a party wide damage buff for PHYSICAL damage ONLY, leaving no room in the party for other casters so that more physical can take more advantage of it, and keep in mind your two tanks will always be melee.

Need I say more?

and theres something inherently wrong with having a non healer save the party from a wipe, when for 4 years if both healers were dead its always a wipe, no matter what? Id even be cool to see a tank with a raise someday, the "balance of power" has been incredibly stupid for a long time Holy trinity or not.

Bards had healer LB before 3.0 and SMN has a raise but you cant skip the majority of the cast time.

yeah that was pretty dope back in 2.0, and swiftcast. As I recall dot ticks didnt stop whenever you casted a raise though. And also those are the only two scenarios available to which to do so. Then only 1 in hw, now we're back to 2. But if we're hoinh back to 2.x, I mean BLM had just as much mobility as rdm does now, imo so there is that.

I mean, move a few steps pop a fire 1/Firestarter. Scathe if you wanna move more than a step after the cast or Firestarter.

In all honesty, seeing these nerf threads just reminds me, like you did. Where bards lost their LB because :i dps i want more dps" then they got bow mage. B:M whining "this job too easy it deal too much damage make complex please" and it never ends "BLM too complex make like RDM" seriously.
