Samurai and Red Mage

RDM "vast utility"? Really?

I dont think that having a heal in exchange of stop atacking (that is quite expensive to boot) and a puny buff (Embolden each 2 minutes 10% buff for 20 seconds with a 20% damage loss with each 4 seconds so its quite annoying to coordinate, Trick atack is so much better isnt even funny) that only affect physical users compensate the damage difference between a RDM and a SMN, and mind that no team should need more than 1 res per minute from a dps class, so the heal and Embolden are the "extra utility" a RDM has over a SMN that deal much much more damage.

RDM utility is useful for soloing/doing 4 men content but pretty useless on endgame because on a good team you only have Embolden as utility to compensate that you have the lowest damage of all dps classes, even Bard outdamages a RDM despite having more and better utility.

On endgame RDM spam ressing will help at best to see a bit more of the fight when learning it, but nothing else, plus RDM has the worst mp regen of all mages as well, so ressing takes a heavy toll on his mp bar which in turn reduces his damage even further
