Red Mage could use some help.

I'll be blunt. BLM has no value. It's entirely worthless right now because everything it does, SMN does it better. If SE refuses to give BLM the substantial buff it needs without nerfing SMN, it won't matter a hoot what happens to RDM relative to the caster meta. On the other hand, if they do make proper adjustments, any moderate increase to RDM's DPS won't impact BLM whatsoever.

I still think this logic is only half true at best. It depends entirely on what they do, yes, but if they do make BLM insanely high and still raise RDM damage, people are still going to be clamoring for RDM buffs because the gap is "too big." I can see the logic relative to bard, I suppose.
