DPS and their Utilities

[Chimiko]

Give sam a 5% raid dmg buff so we'll be viable. Thank you very much square enix.

So either put Raise in the role action menu, -or get rid of it entirely-.

My stance on this hasn't changed. It's that polarizing of a utility, because you either don't need it, -or you do-. If the difference between Summoner and Black Mage is 5%, you're back to just grabbing the Summoner full time.

Why not?

You literally have lost nothing worthwhile for the extra safety and consistency another source of Raise provides you.

Then -again- simply stop taking things that were previously BLM only and either putting them on Role Actions or outright removing them, like 100% mitigation to the next hit once every 30 seconds for increased turreting and LB gauge (Manawall), or 20% antimagic mitigation on a target (Apocatastasis, which you could buff or adjust to make valuable for saving non-tanks, as well).

I don't want to all utility removed or made ubiquitous. Rez is simply one among an already dwindling breed of such utility. Bring back utility and rez is just a splash in the bucket, albeit a larger one.
