Just remove healers.

[Nadda]

I'm just another RDM enjoyer, not necessarily a main. But I can still think of what makes me like RDM:
- It's not a fulltime caster, something that I appreciate as it reminds me of their past iteration of being half-physical half-magical job.
- Aesthetically it pleases me.
- Interactive buttons. You do not solely go by each buttons' potency per GCD. You also take account of what the generated mana can potentially lead to.
- The challenge of keeping Fleche and Contre on cooldown. Being both a cooldown divisible by 5 & adding the fact our melee combo duration is not, simply by filling up mana bar & spending them for melee combo will eventually force us to drift these two buttons by 1 GCD that adds up over time. Swiftcast and/or Acceleration exist to alleviate this, which tells me I should not use these willy nilly just for procs. E.Reprise also exist for this but they come at the cost of mana expenditure.
- The potential to push as much highly damaging portion of the melee combo into Embolden+Manafication window (2 combo) and/or tincture window (3 combo) as possible, this give me another thing to keep track on.
- The job is easy to learn but has surprisingly considerable room for improvement. This room keeps me occupied longer with the job to be better.

EDIT adding more
- Pocket raises when the situation calls for it. But rarely happens because I'm not fond of wasting the healer's swiftraise or their 8s cast time.

Hm. You know what true. True and factual. Good points.

EDIT I should mention I like how Red Mage looks just not how it plays (when I said aesthetics) but when you listed things off as you have I can see why it is actually more enjoyable than I gave it credit for.
