Red Mage could use some help.

[PrismaticDaybreak]

There is no such thing as "raw damage is utility" in this game, because jobs that buff the party will ALWAYS be preferred by parties (this is a no-brainer) and the total DPS will be stronger 9 times out of 10.

By your own logic wouldn't it be better to push for Red Mage personal DPS to be increased rather than offensive utility as you keep saying? That way it wouldn't become the mandatory mess that NIN is and doesn't push other classes out of relevance.
