This usually results in much less of a curve in my BLM parses too, since I'm starting on it with a baseline of where I need movement tools in mind.

    RDM doesn't need to be a training wheels job for you but being mad at other people for using it as one is nonsense, it's a perfect fit.
    I don't care what you do. You can do whatever you want. But I do care when you go around intentionally telling other people that RDM is just a "training wheels" job. It's completely rude to people who love the job and play it as their main.

    I main WHM but RDM is my main dps job and I love it for it's heals and raise support. It's really under appreciated at times when you raise 10+ people including both healers in a duty and not get one comm.

    Yet on the same page, you said Warrior deserves to be in the trash bin. Wouldn't that also be classified as "completely rude to the people who love the job and play it as their main?"

    And whether you like it or not, that was Red Mage's reputation until it was buffed. There's a reason TEA groups frequently excluded it from their recruitment ads or at least showed preference towards Black Mage and Summoner. Both were far and widely superior. When Summoner can boast nearly 1,000 more rDPS and also raise. Red Mage's value kind of falters.
