RDM's Patch Notes?

[Miste]

MP cost reduction doesn't really count as an improvement unless you were having MP problems. I wasn't.

Just because you claim you were not having MP problems before doesn't mean the MP reduction on RDM is not an improvement.

Even ignoring how you disagree with RDM needing more MP room...with the changes you now have more excess MP to use to support your party with Raise if there is a need for it. Even if you personally do not use said opportunities or come across situations to make use of it doesn't mean it is not an improvement by design.

Situation A - Healers both die and you are the only one with Raise

RDM after these changes can handle this situation with their kit better than before the changes, therefore, an improvement.

Did....did you even read what I said?

Yep. Did you even read what *I* said? The part where it has to affect my gameplay or my output in a positive way for it to really be considered an improvement?

I've been in situations before where I had to raise one/both of the two dead healers, by the way. The vast majority of the time I've been in that situation, that will end up in a wipe anyway, most likely for reasons related to why the healers died in the first place, or because the healers are simply in too poor of a shape after being raised to be able to salvage the bad situation. MP cost cuts for the RDM don't do anything to alleviate that.

Good thing SE decided it was a necessary change to the job, and not you.

I am sure they thought about it and had the data to back up their claim.

And that's fine and whatever, but that still doesn't mean that for me this was a necessary "improvement" to the job. And normally, I wouldn't care, except this thread has demonstrated that people can try to essentially say "look, RDM got buffed, stop complaining!" even when, in my opinion, it got no "buff" that was even worth mentioning. I'm 100% positive it's still in the same position in the DPS hierarchy (whatever it was at before).
