Red Mage could use some help.

Last point (a very personal one) is if you like to play RDM in raids just do it - don't be a worrier be a warrior. You don't have to be top end to have fun... ingame neither on pve nor at endgame/raids. Until now every Savage content was doable with every cls, yeah even ultimate – so give a shit bout statistics and numbers and just play what you like to play. If your mates have a problem with that... you don't have to look for another cls, you should look for new mates instead. but thats just me...

When UCOB came out I looked for a static for a solid 2 and a half months as an RDM, over the course of those two Months I received two offers, both of which demanded I played Ninja or Summoner. I would happily still play RedMage regardless of what happens to it balance wise, But when you can't even get past step one (Finding a group) because the Job you wish to play as is bastardized and seen only as viable for a few weeks of progression, Thats when something needs to change.
