I mostly agree with this. While I haven't unlocked most of the Stormblood skills for it, what they did to SMN's aoe ability makes me want to cry, and their single-target ability feels underwhelming, as well. In terms of damage, yes, I feel like BLM and SMN need to brought up to RDM's level, not RDM brought down to theirs.

Utility, though... I'm not sure ANY job should have the ability to raise six people in the same amount of time it takes another job to raise two, and with a whole lot more freedom of movement, to boot. It wouldn't surprise me if that's the nerf RDM gets - Verraise removed from the Dualcast cycle, and given a normal Raise casting time. I think Vercure is fine where it is - but I REALLY wish they'd adjust SMN's Physick to scale with INT or Magic Attack power. It'd give them a good panic cure, and also assist with pet maintenance (which is in a pretty bad spot due to the loss of Sustain).

Seriously, though, I think some changes are coming soon, once they add the new Savage raid. SE has promised that they'd be keeping an eye on the various jobs - and they'd have to be blind not to notice that SOMETHING needs fixing.
