In reality, dps taxes are far too high as it is right now, and just all over the place. Red Mage has a raise so it's not allowed to be strong? Dancer brings *some* support so it's not supposed to be strong?
If RDM was as strong as a BLM and had access to Vercure and Verraise, why would people want a BLM around? The same goes for DNC, why bring a BRD or MCH, just bring 2 DNCs and have them buff each other. The loss of the GCD will only hurt as people are learning the fights. Once people get them on farm, sure the errant mistake will happen, but RDMs won’t be throwing around cures and raises.
