Either SMN and RDM should lose their Raise or BLM should get a Raise.

The current meta between casters HEAVILY prefers SMN and RDM simply because of Raise and the high pressure put on the healers. BLM now has absolutely nothing of value over SMN, even AoE damage is nearly identical.

The Raise abilities of SMN and RDM should preferably be removed, as it's causing a major balance issue which SE seems incapable of fixing. If SMN and RDM were to keep their Raise, BLM should gain one as well. It's an awful inconsistency in the caster role, which became even more apparent when RDM appeared to have it. BLM has absolutely nothing left to give to a party after Stormblood. Even SAM has a slashing debuff which would help PLD/DRK if there's no NIN. Literally the only way to know what the BLM gives to a party is to watch the parses, which is also in a very poor state currently. We're still forced to get a lot of SpS, while all other jobs gets heavily buffed due to the extreme poor balance of Crit and Direct Hit.

It makes more sense to remove SMN and RDMs Raise than to give BLM one, but this inconsistency needs to be resolved to make balancing the casters easier. Casters shouldn't be the ones that always use Raise in raids, especially when SMNs and RDMs MP pools are basically infinite (and remember that an infinite MP pool was one of the few exclusive advantages BLMs had).
