Now that we know RDM has no changes...

RDM has value for prog. Afterwards, it becomes increasingly less useful because SMN remains borderline broken. Unfortunately, casters will forever suffer until the devs finally accept piercing is far too strong.

It's not neccessarily "piercing is too strong", it's "there's not enough support for anything other than piercing". Like, there's not much that boosts mages and slashing buffs aren't as strong as piercing. Also poor monk gets no help at all.

Yeah, I really think they need to just remove Disembowel's buff and add the damage to DRG's base attacks (but not BRD/MCH's). Also, we're never gonna not see NIN in parties unless they nerf Shadewalker and Trick Attack. I honestly think Shadewalker (as it currently is) can be removed with what they're doing to Diversion, and then they can just make TA more balanced.
