What makes RDM an easy DPS?

On demand? Arguably. A black mage can if needed line up all it's mobility skills (triple cast 1/min, xeno 2/min, swift 1/min, sharp 2/min (could be once cannot check atm) and random procs) for a very solid amount of movement time that rdm cannot match with cast+dualcast.

This is accurate. Adding in reverse rescue every 10s and Between The Lines, the amount of instants and movement tools they’re giving to BLM is just insane. Being plannable ahead of time also gives them an edge. If there’s anything immobile, that title goes to the current WHM.

RDM can extend their movement window with E.Reprise but there’s only so much they can do before they start pushing back their melee combo. Melee combo, while also providing a good 10s of mobility, it also comes with melee-limitations should the encounter’s mechanic dictates so.

Eh constant movement ability without droping there dps, with duel cast auto proc each spell.

Compared to blm who yes has those abilitys but they are on cooldown so once used you have more downtime than rdm completely. Duel casting every spell constatly is superior to triple cast due to the cooldown plus it takes up a keybind slot outside rdms doesnt. So honestly rdm doesnt even need a movement ability since they can due it base without a drop, plus it can go in and do auto mele combo so there is almost no downtime unless your not even trying.
