Rdps should look more like this
DNC > NIN = RDM > BRD > DRG > MNK = SMN > BLM = SAM = MCH*

*Add refresh as MP management back to Ranged and this will contribute to MCH rdps making it slightly more viable as a progression pure dps but it’s ranged benefits should restrict it in comparisons to BLM and SAM
I wouldnt say RDM is that high RDPS Wise, while Majority of its Utility kit is realistically around Supporting Progression. while it is true, u cant measure its Utility by DPS As alot of The reasons to bring a RDM is Basically its Instant rezz.but for as long as they keep RDM balanced with Verraise it'll remain Ditched Every time content moves past its Progression era which realistically isnt right. as it is a Job which has no sustained requirement for. imho its about time we removed Rezz off Dual Cast ability.

verraise is just so contreversal to actually how meaningful it is.

its a great tool in progression, Allowing players to see more mechanics, although its proven to be less useful this expansion due to such tight DPS Checks that your Realistically not going to manage the fight reguardless so u tend to Swap across to another caster even earlier then SB.

but its a Tool which u are Taxed upon meaning Ur Less Fulfilling in a actual DPS Role, thus meaning after ur disgarded theres no real need for your Job anymore. Sticking it in this Limbo of Being something almost built to not be mained and just merely a Answer to the "BLM CANT PROG meme" .

imho

Put Verraise on a 30 sec CD with 2 Charges.

it still cant be used in emergency, it'll function the same through DF reguardless and Allows u to insta Rezz Two players During a Raid, but with this we can Lift the Taxation as it'll no longer be as vital as currently which reduces the fear it becomes Mandatory during progression raiding.

From here Just Align RDM to fit a DPS ROle With Embolden. a Nice Mid pack DPS with Some Good RDPS Function through Embolden to raise it the Rest of the way.
