The party damage buff is nice and all but it doesn't really make up for their own low performance.

RDM can do everything SMN does and deal significantly more damage.
And it can also do the utility stuff better than SMN with less sacrifices.

As far as I understand Sharpcast is part of SMN's rotation and using it to ress is problematic for them.
Red mage has a bit more utility, but summoner has significantly more mobility.
