RDM the unwelcome DPS :(

[Seraphor]

It works the other way around.

RDM is a prog job, it’s good for for the prog time of raiding. It actually falls off later on as it becomes less and less required as once it goes onto farm they generally bring a BLM

Once summoner is buffed up it will become the other option realistically haha

No, this second week is part of the 'peak' of meta use.

First its prog, where raises come in handy.
Then its pure DPS, as people struggle to meet the tight DPS checks.
Then once people are geared up, the meta loosens slightly, as those DPS checks won't be so tight.
