Please don't Nerf Vercure

Nobody is talking about what happens after the raise but during. Stopping your own dps to raise someone is a dps loss.

Dear people of the OF. Cureing and Raising on RDM is a DPS loss. The job is fine as it is. Besides too much of Verraise use and you lack the mana to do any form of serious DPS. Instead pls give SMN sustain back and up BLMs potency of spells or reduce their casting time a bit.

I rather lose dps for 10 seconds, then having to do the fight over and over, because I couldn't be bothered to be a team player and help out the healers, same for raise.

Just my 2 cents here, They should not have taken sustain away. They claimed they did it because they buffed the pets to take less damage but we can all see how well that worked.

SMN doesn't need better Physic, they need Sustain back. stop trying to get RDM nerfed. try to get SMN back one of its more useful abilities.
Sustain was a useful ability I used often. Now I have a hard time playing SMN solo on anything because I don't have it. and the things they gave SMN do not make up for the loss of this.

Arcanist could still use this at lower levels but honestly Sustain is more important to SMN

You can tell the people with genuine complaints and onz of common sense by their willingness to nerf another class for their gain.

Envy is a dangerous emotion, people - do keep it in check.

You know its funny cause in the past there were a lot of threads raising a point that Bards should have an AOE regen song (even some I was a part of) and everyone was throwing a pissy fit about it breaking the trinity / require too much balancing / make it a requirement for raiding etc...

Just stirring the pot so to speak cause I don't even know what the solution is but eventually somethings going to change...

People are not understanding that RDM is good in both black and white magic. Without Cure and Raise, it's not a RDM then. People are complaining about a Cure that is enough to survive one auto-attack. A Cure that will result into a DPS loss. A Cure that well not save a Tank for Tank Buster. A Cure that is really meant to heal myself. Stop crying over it and stop trying to break FF Lore because you're unhappy with the current state of your Job. Physic is a Class Skill. You can't just remove a Class Skill or did we forget that Conjurer is the only healer for pre Lv 30 content?

Again stop trying to nerf a Job that was always meant to do both and direct your complaints to Yoshi and get him to bring Sustain back.

RDM needs a dps nerf. Reduce the personal effect of Embolden to a decaying 5% base, and tweak damage potencies on spells by 50-60 and you'll approach balance. Buff BLM/SMN dps and Devotion as well.

Seems like BLM is getting some tweaks this next patch, and Foul not costing mana anymore might help with the amount of Fire IV they'll be able to cast on the regular rotation, but correct me if I am wrong as I'm no BLM expert. Currently RDM is only a bit higher than BLM on DPS under perfect conditions. I personally don't think RDM should be nerfed, I think other DPS should be buffed. RDM and SAM were designed with Stormblood in mind while the other jobs were added to it with previous "balance" background from prior installments. It's only fair that those jobs that are under performing to get buffed, but the ones that seem to be "overperforming" should be left as they are until the other DPS get tuned up to reach balance.

Then they will below casters by a pretty big margine, Not going to work, Which is why they are not touching them right now.

BLM is getting buffs and i think they should be the top casters, but RDM does not need potency nerfs.

Your idea of balance is to nerf RDM and then buff BLM and SMN when you can just buff BLM and SMN and not have to take something from RDM to do so?
