RDM's Vercure should be removed or heavily nerfed

It's bait mate.

Okay, ya got me. Good bait lol

Can't wait until next Expac. Vercure II? VerMedica? VerRegen? VerAssize??!?!

:]

Verho- Oh wait a sec.

Honestly I'd like to see BLM get a small magic damage vuln or a little more than just personal utility (Manawall, AM, BTL) SAM gets a slashing debuff for some reason on top of their own personal buffs. Double caster would be fun, but yeah so much physical damage synergy kinda shoots that one in the foot. I know my own use of Embolden is absolutely not optimal, I like to save it for my burst combo because I'm a terrible person and like my own explosions and sword slashes to be bigger. They definitely could give Mana Shift more to BLM and retool it a bit, I can only sometimes utilize it as RDM and don't even bother equipping it on SMN.

Vercure isn't even useful in a serious environment. In the uber casual content it's pretty great, but that's not what they balance around. In savage, your raid leader probably won't be too happy if you're throwing out vercure's instead of dpsing. Leave healing to the healers in group content.

Personally, i only use it when the tank pulls big and the healer is having trouble getting the tank back to manageable levels, and needs a small buffer between GCDs to get things in order. Or on myself if i just get raised.

Yoshi seems insistent on not touching it anyhow. It's in theme with the job and it's not too powerful, no reason to nerf it.

Let me put it like this, if we HAVE to use vercure/verraise, there is something wrong if its outside of PotD. Inside I will enjoy a RDM's vercure all day but it also seems I go in often with no healers at all.

Vercure is fun. PLD get Clemency. Do not nerf fun.

[RaizeGraymalkin]

No it really doesn't. Stop crying for SAM/RDM to be nerfed already.

If there is anything RDM shouldn't have it is Verflare and Verholy. Flare and Holy are supposed to be out of a Red Mage's league, at least based on classic Red Mages.

Then again, so was Life spells...

[Remedi]

Not quite, Raise has been a RDM spell in several occasion, they do miss Araise (or life2).
It's true that flare and holy are a bit ehhhhhh however

I could swear even Red Wiz had no access to Life in FF1, but maybe I was remembering wrong...

They could always just do VerBlizzard/VerWater in place of Flare/Holy.

Yes, yes they could. But I doubt they will. Then again, why do Flare and Holy even need to be melee combo finishers? So many other things it could be that feel more like Red Mage's limitations...
