RDM was known for 3 things* really in FFXI (at least when I played). Powerful debuffs, dispelling beneficial enemy effects, and refresh (providing others with MP regen.) While I'd love to see them incorporate powerful debuffs and/or dispelling beneficial enemy effects, I am hesitant they'd ever find a way to incorporate them without being either so weaksauce they don't really make a meaningful difference, or so overpowered that RDM becomes mandatory.

*If there was a 4th thing they were known for, it was the borderline psychotic level of difficulty involved in their class level uncap quest.
