My issue isn't that RDM is behind summoner. That's part of it, but RDM's damage is on the same tier as bard's; square has stated they balance so more utility = less dps. Logically speaking then either RDM should have the same level of utility and damage support ad bard, or they consider verraise to be their support.

It's not the former so it must be the latter, however square is just flat wrong about spam raise being equivalent to the amount of support a bard can bring. First, summoner already brings all the raises a group should need--both in and out of prog, excepting bleeding edge prog. Second, that utility loses value very quickly over the tier.

Basically, my problem is RDM is one of the weakest dps for no real reason.
