RDM underperforming by the way of neglect

I'm at the point where I would unironically delete verraise for 10 potency on jolt, that's how bad it's gotten

vercure and magicked barrier can go too for more filler spell potency

I still need vercure to proc dualcast during downtime, but I'll trade magick barrier for reprise not being worthless

Stat for all battle at 90%-Max.
redmage and smn are pretty closes.

some fights are disadvantageous to red mages, but on some fights it has a little more DPS than SMN, but the overall balance is relatively bad,
but nothing can be worse than the machinist.

THis tier SMN wins due to fight complexity. But let's be real, that's not the real issue. It's fine to see SMN and RDM trade spots back and forth depending on the fight. What's not fine is how horrendous caster DPS is. Both RDM and SMN needs help.

Overall balance need to be reworked.

According to Yoshida, we're just all bad! The game is perfectly balanced. Casters and Healers are fighting for uptime. Melee DPS is just a Physical Ranged with a 10% damage buff.

i can't speak for SMN or BLM, but in my static, we were making jokes a few weeks ago due to me commenting on patch notes "where is RDMs potency buff." it was just a joke until yesterday. ive seen the argument that RDM has instant rez on demand, but if im rezing im not dpsing, why do i have to be punished dbl for using my utility, i dont think i need to be beating out BLM, or even SMN, but if you look at the numbers its a huge bummer, i love this job, and have spent hundreds of hrs, improving, and practicing. i guess its just rough seeng the absolute lack of attention as the game grows and RDM isnt. id like to reiterate, this isnt about being to lowest, its about how large the drifference is.

Don't use max. For one, "Max" refers to a singular data point--the literal max, rather than an aggregate data point. For two, that literal max is often an outlying data point itself--hence why in the box-and-whisker plot representation it's a dot on the far side of the graph.

Even just using 99th is a better comparison mark if you're against box-and-whisker.

The rankings aren't entirely different but it is worth presenting as full a picture as possible.

Both RDM and SMN need damage buffs, it’s irrelevant how close to each other they are

The issue is dps in relation to dps on a whole, not just within respective role

I have never said the opposite once, I know that the position of some DPS jobs must be increase a little bit compared to where they are currently.
