I DON'T like Stormblood RDM

Guessing you used Chaos. I'll use Final Omega since it's 100% potential uptime.

99th Black Mage: 9100
99th Red Mage: 8,000

Difference: 1100
% difference: Favoring Black Mage by 13%

Using Voidwalker since it also has potential 100% uptime

QUICK PRIMER
RDPS = The damage that 'belongs' to the job in question.

I used the Overall metric for all fights at the 99th percentile, but even when you apply a more fight specific view, RDM is still needlessly lower compared to BLM now than it used to be

I'm just putting numbers on the front page in a useless attempt to provide perspective before people use my job as a scapegoat again.

BLM isn't the problem or a scapegoat - a 15+% tax on damage based soley on verraise (since you included embolden in the rdm numbers already) is the problem. That is way over the top for utility that quickly becomes pointless after learning the mechanics of a fight.

or u can say it’s absolutely worth it because u learn mechanics of a fight way faster with less wipes - there are always to sides of a medal.
