Why the other casters need buffs and Red Mage does not need a nerf.

I think "hilariously strong" is a bit of exaggeration on your part. It's useful, balance level strong? No. Stop assuming they're not going to tune encounters to match buffs or nerfs, that's redundant from any perspective. FFlogs appears to have really high standard deviation, just comparing the number of parses for each classes, the new ones (which logically would be more popular since they're new) have significantly more parses than the preceding jobs, in some cases almost exceeding 3 to 1 ratio FFlogs is not currently accurate.
