Please don't Nerf Vercure

[DevilsDontFly]

No to any healing nerfs. Nerf DPS. RDM shouldn't be out DPSing ANYONE(DPS Jobwise). Our strength has always been our versatility, and weakening anything besides damage, hurts our very identity.

... have you ever played red mage on other final fantasy games?

Also to add: I don't think RDM or SAM for the matter should have their damage tuned down. I feel like some DPS should have their damage tuned up instead. If your first thought when you see a SAM/RDM party on Susano is: "We got this", but your thought on a MCH party is: "Can we clear this?", then the problem is not the RDM or the SAM.

That dosn't mean RDM should be the weakest either, they have high dps due to having mobility over blm and damage over SMN, it's fine, which is why they aren't touching RDM, people just have to get over it.

They Are Not Nerfing Rdm dps so stop calling for it already

RDM healing should only need nerfing if Vercure spam is competing with actual healers.

But so far as I've seen, it doesn't. The best thing they can do imo is to help resurrect the dead, and faster than others can thanks to dualcast. But if you're bringing along a RDM specifically to resurrect dead people, that says volumes about your chances to complete the duty.

Basically, if the group is underperforming to the point where verraise and vercure are becoming a lifeline, that's a problem with the group, not the rdm class design.

Actually SMN just want sustain back

So, did they actually say they're nerfing Vercure at the Live Letter? I keep seeing people saying it like it's fact and then I see people saying they aren't nerfing anything. Personally I hope they don't nerf it.

The devs are basically saying re: SMN's Physick that they're not meant to be a WHM/BLM hybrid like RDM, but they are looking at Vercure in relation to Red Mage's kit for some reason. So basically, no buffs to Physick (I don't care about that, I just want RDMs hit SOMEWHERE because their utility is bongos and their DPS is bongos), and that Vercure might get the bat a bit. EDIT: Nevermind, i misread that statement for some reason. It doesn't say anywhere that I can see that Vercure is being adjusted. The devs basically said they don't want SMN and RDM to have similar utility overlap, which is fine, but I do think right now RDM is a little too good at everything it does.

Or heck, even buff SMN damage somewhat and buff BLM damage a ton, to give some sort of tradeoff to RDM utility ATM. Or make Devotion not crap. Or something.

Tbh I wouldn't be bothered if they nerfed vercure. I rarely use it as I am a dps and again nor should it bother those begging for it to not be nerfed the saying a dps based ability should be - no that's wrong it should be vercure being nerfec because again we are dps.

Rdm is fine where it is

Rdm is fine where it is

Yes, I agree. RDM being above MNK, DRG, SMN, BLM, MCH and BRD while having the easiest rotation in the game is "fine where it is."
