Maybe RDM need....

[Zyneste]

Hm...but this runs contrary to the narrative that Red Mage is the super easy job that deserves to be weak because of its ease of use. Not saying that's your argument, but I'm gonna keep a pin her ine case it comes up.

Felt this in my soul.

Monk has mantra. Mantra is a really powerful cooldown that buffs shielding and regens, and can carry a minimum iLv group through the Tumult-Voice-Tumult-Voice frenzy that is Titan's soft enrage before his hard enrage. In many ways, Mantra is a more powerful utility than verraise, as unlike verraise Mantra is always useful. What's more, none of its peers have mantra-likes to match it, even Ninja doesn't give any non-rDPS utility anymore since aggro management was shifted entirely to the tanks.

Definitely feel it in raids.

If the party is really strong DPS-wise, you can suffer quite a few verraises before enrage even on Titan. That's the funny thing though: the stronger your party, generally the better and less useful verraise would be. However, the weaker the party, the lower the threshold before deaths mean enrage.

Can relate. This tier is really showing how RDM is an "Early Prog to learn the fight, then switch if your party members can't compensate for your damage, even at high play levels" or "prog after a few weeks in" kind of job. Once we had a couple weapons we've cleared runs with 7 deaths, but without the weps we could barely clear with a single damage down, let alone a death. Thats not exactly this godly prog machine that RDM is painted as.
