Odd because I still see people playing all the jobs even the weak ones. They even do quite well on them too. The only thing I think really needs to happen to RDM is buffs in potency. At the rate SE is going, I don’t think you’ll get anything super significant. RDM fits perfectly with melee and embolden. BLM DOES NOT. BLM is only called OP because it finally has the damage to be truly considered a selfish DPS job. HA! In SB selfish DPS jobs did not have the DPS to truly be considered selfish DPS jobs. BLM is where it should be. If you want to do big damage, play a selfish DPS job. Or better yet...give up your utility. Since the latter is likely too never happen, RDM will simply have too deal with being lower than BLM. You cannot have the best of both worlds. There must be a price somewhere and if it comes from being low in the damage totem then so be it. The fact of the matter is that RDM HAS UTILITY AND BLM HAS NOTHING. THERE ARE NO MAGICAL BUFFS IN THE GAME AND IF YOU NERF BLM, THEN WHAT GOOD IS IT? There are melee buffs galore in this game. IF BLM HAS NO UTILITY THEN IT NEEDS DAMAGE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE TOO THE party. Like it or not, RDM is not going to share it’s utility because SE is not going too let that happen. In one of the live letters, Yoshi-P laughed at the idea of being asked to give BLM a raise. Whether you want too believe it or not REZ is utility by SE standards and you are taxed accordingly for having even if it’s not used. Tearing down BLM will net you nothing.
