As someone who does have rdm at 70 and geared i feel its too strong for what all it does. Of all its utilities clutch heals, raises and a raid dps buff on 6/8 players while only being behind a well played blm by 1000 potency is not balanced.

Its too powerful and i regularly abuse this fact in raids and ex primals. Even if blm and smn got buffed RDM existence too heavily trumps theirs, Yoshi will not make blm a true turret/damage monster.

He had 4 years to make blm relevant and repeatedly didnt, by their own faulty design philosophy BLM should be neck and neck with SAM or slightly ahead due to SAMs various adaptation abilities and toting a slashing debuff.


If and when they buff blm itll be vary marginal to moderate but just enough to keep it behind the better melees like always. As long as that continues RDM sustain, utility and mobility will always be the safer and more guaranteed option by comparison of the risks involved with taking BLM.
