Raise should be removed completely.

But you have to consider: Both classes rely on group composition for their support. Both need a physical group to provide best support. SMN could go with a magical group but then has to deal with garuda positioning.
That's a unique take on it; SMN would have to be balanced to be a bit stronger than RDM in this hypothetical because of the inherent advantages physical buffs have against magical buffs. But make RDM the physical buffing mage and SMN the magical buffing mage...I can see this being a neat line to draw.
