Red Mage could use some help.

[Dualgunner]

Doesn't matter. Vercure and Verraise are both utility that are added to the RDM kit. Utility takes away from your damage whether you use it or not.

Doesn't change that RDM is still a DPS, and as far as "utility" goes, they provide less than bard still, yet still do less than bard. Besides which, if it takes away from ones damage whether they use it or not, it shouldn't take even *more* away from one's damage when they have to use it. Any cast of vercure* or verraise is an opportunity cost of 9-11 mana and 230-300 potency, not to mention the cost to the least sustainable mp pool in the game.

Not to mention that, due to the lack of any dot whatsoever, any gcd that isn't damage drops RDM's moment-to-moment dps to 0.

*Not including casting vercure mid-transition to proc dualcast for when the boss drops back down
